New Requirements from Recreational Flyers?!

[jclarkw]

I've already flown my Mavic Air 2 (registered recreational with the FAA and updated to report its location via RID) a few times this summer here in Santa Fe County, NM. I just went out my garage to fly again and was confronted with a message apparently saying that I must take some kind of "TRUST" exam (from the FAA?) to obtain a certificate AND must "Learn [something] Before You Fly in Santa Fe County."

I've never seen any of this before, although I've been flying this machine for years! Does anybody know what's going on?

Regards to All! -- jclarkw

As a recreational pilot, you must that this test in order to fly legally in the US.

It's easy, you can't fail, you can literally do this and come back to this message today and claim you are completed and you keep proof with you at all time while flying.

To operate any remote controlled flying vehicle in the U.S. you must have a T.R.U.S.T. card.

Thanks! -- You are right, it was easy. What confused me most is that I never heard of it before, even though it's apparently been around for quite a while. Besides carrying it, is there anything I need to do with the number, as there was for the original registration number? -- jclarkw

Good deal! Nothing else, just carry it with you on paper or electronic form.
