FAA TRUST Test is here!

[pilotinstitute]

Hey real quick. The FAA just released The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST). Everyone flying their drones recreationally in the US is required to take it. The good news is it’s free, it’s fast and Pilot Institute is an authorized Testing provider. You can find more information about TRUST with this video

Then I can deal with it. ?

Yep, Greg is right. It's active now. I got the pre-release info, but couldn't post it. As of 30 minutes ago, TRUST is alive and kicking.

And remember folks, even Part 107 Pilots have to take it in order to fly under 44809 rules.

 

[Vic Moss]

And since @pilotinstitute is a sponsor, I suggest people go there to take it. Follow the link Greg posted.

Yes Loretta Alkalay also posted the information in one of the better groups with links. About time it came out.

I just took it. I went to the FAA website to find the list of providers, and I took mine from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, so now I can say I got a diploma from them (sort of). I did notice one thing during the course work: It said that, if the FAA or local law enforcement asks, you must tell them which CBO's set of rules you are flying under. Hmm, I'm not aware of any approved CBOs yet. The FAA issued some interim guidelines that I think I can fly under, but that wasn't mentioned during the TRUST course.

Oh well, I also have a Part 107 certificate, and virtually all of my flying would be allowed under either set of rules, so I'm not too concerned about this. But they ought to approve a CBO one of these days...

The CBO is rule #2 in 44809. Here's what the FAA says about it.
"Follow the safety guidelines of an FAA-recognized Community Based Organization (CBO).
Note: We have not yet begun officially recognizing CBOs. Recreational flyers are directed to follow the safety guidelines of existing aeromodeling organizations or use the FAA provided safety guidelines per Advisory Circular 91-57B."

So while you can use guidance from aeromodelling organizations like FliteTest or AMA, you can also use the AC91-57B. That should be the answer you give the FAA or law enforcement when they ask you.

Pays to actually watch the video before going on about something. Sigh. FAA TRUST Online Portal for Recreational Drone Operators - Pilot Institute. You do not take it at the FAA site. If you are a Part107, you can skip the slides and just do the tests...took me 3mins to complete....

 

[Tufargon]

Aced it lol. That sure was easy.

You can add Greg from @pilotinstitute to your small circle of people you can trust when it comes to putting our correct FAA info... ?

He runs in some pretty tight knit FAA circles.

I thought it was funny my “authentication token” started with “EASY” (which is accurate; took about 5 minutes, mostly scrolling) but I guess all of them from Pilot Institute do.
