What Certification is Needed?

[qrtsteve]

I see many pictures of drones that appear to be over 55 lbs ie drones used for crop spraying carrying large containers of liquids. My question is if the UAS weights more than 55 lbs what category does it fall into and what certification does the pilot need?

Could we get this straight, isn't it .55 pound or 250g? Or are we speaking in "drone speak"?
