Did anyone else get caught up in all of this?
I scheduled my my sUAS Part 107 knowledge test for 26 Dec. The night before the test I got an email that due to the shutdown all FAA Airman Knowledge tests were suspended until further notice.
On 2 Jan I got the message that testing was back on, so I scheduled for 6 Jan, took and passed the test.
However I still can't get the certificate processed as the agency that handles airman tests has been furloughed.
I guess the government is officially running again – at least for the next three weeks – but I understand that the backlog (which was already somewhat long) will now be much longer.
Tick-tock...
