Not having a drone yet. I am considering buying a DJI Mavic Air 2, or a DJI mini 2. At this point I am just wanting to fly recreationally.
I live in an area with controlled airspace. I already took the recreational test and passed. And I applied for a waiver to fly at a certain time this Saturday. It was approved. Though I do not have a drone yet. I was just wanting to find out if I can fly one, near where I live.
My first few questions are:
1. Do I have to take the 107 course and pass the test for a drone over 250 g, if I'm only going to fly it recreationally?
2. Does the FAA know what type of drone I am flying by the serial number?
3. Will the FAA know what type of drone I am flying from the RID?
Thanks for any responses to this matter.
