Right now, yes. But, soon; supposedly, the FAA will be rolling out LAANC for recreational pilots as well. Recreational pilots are anxious for this to happen.
I am certified Part 107. I got certified solely for access to LAANC. I qualify as commercial by selling my video online.
I flew from my house this evening with FAA approval. It's amazing what a liberating feeling that is.
Still, I usually fly in class G airspace, which I recommend as the airspace is on the outskirts of any concerns for buildings people, etc... to me that makes the flight more relaxing, which is helpful for me to enjoy.
Certification is not that difficult. A lot of the information is foreign to non pilots, but in time it becomes understandable. The exam is overkill with emphasis on weather, and airspace. Airspace is interesting. To me, weather is not that applicable. If it's raining I don't fly. If it's too windy, I don'y fly. But, for pilots flying for commercial inspection jobs, weather matters. I suppose.
