Part 107

[gkrug]

Today I passed the test. I began the IACRA form. When I got to my birth I typed 1934. An immediate pop-up reminded me that they want accurate info. I typed 1934 again and it was accepted. I guess there aren’t many 83 year olds flying unmanned aircraft. It got a good laugh.i got the Commercial license since the HOBBY IS TOO Limiting.

I'm looking to get my 107 as well..there are a ton of opportunities for me as a photographer,and amatuer videographer...not to mention the abundance of other real estate, crop health for farmers, surveying...no one in my town does it!! A friend and I want to go into business together...he already has his Part 107...does anyone have other suggestions to study up??? Like apps that are worth paying for???

RemotePilot101.com has a discount (to ~$120) using the code: "MAVIC". It lasts a little while longer.

Flying Part 61 and 107 here at 65!

I agree with @TheoMatthias and RemotePilot101.com. I signed up with them, took their class, and passed the test easily. They have great training videos and suggestions.

I had a dear friend and co-captain who flew with me in business jets until he was 90! Carry on!

Congratulations to you,...!! I graduated from Remotepilot101 and Dronegroundschool academies before passing my 107 certification. They teach at slightly different levels and enforce quite different priorities in each program. If you have the time and money it’s well worth it. I did it during the winter months while waiting for the weather to get better. They’re both upgrade for life schools and are quite thorough- although I also bought some books to help fill in any empty training spaces.... Happy, safe flying,..!! [emoji106]
