The FAA has never issued a license. You don't have a drone license. It's called a certificate.
I'll certainly sleep better tonight knowing that!
As an airline pilot and designated pilot examiner and aircraft mechanic, I worked a hard 27 years for my certifications and designations and I'm proud of them. This may be the first certification with the FAA for many people. It's important they know it's not a license, but a certification. Many FAA inspectors will read newbies the riot act for not using proper terminology. One of their favorites is calling their certificate a license.
If you have an issue with using proper terminology, then aviation maybe isn't something you should be in.
You sound like the guy in the base no-one likes flying with.
If you have an issue with getting on with people without giving them a hard time over pointless minutiae or constantly feel the need to demonstrate your superior knowledge of useless trivia, then aviation maybe isn't something YOU should be in.
just to avoid any awkward embarrassment, if you do reply to any of my comments - they're RPAs... unless I'm flying in the USA, where it seems to be a UAS (or sUAS on some FAA pages) - or a UAV in New Zealand.Being such a bozo, I guess I shouldn't be flying drones -- excuse me -- UAVs.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm in the USA (Is USA the right term? Not sure anymore.)

Well I do, if its utilizing the same principles, flying a hot air balloon is aviation and have to go for a pilot certificate for that as well.The thing I find funny about this is do we really consider flying toy RC drones to be "In Aviation" ? LOL
LOL! I 2nd thatI'll certainly sleep better tonight knowing that!
