What kind of registration? Both?

[ForrestGunt]

I just bought my first drone, a Mavic Pro. I'm just learning but I want to pass the107 so I can use the drone for work, too. Should I register it now for recreation and again after I pass107? How does this work?

You should register your drone regardless of whether you decide to take 107.

Thank you! That was my first instinct, but wording in registration process implies I may be doing over again in a month. I assume there must be a lot of people doing the same thing, so they can probably re-classify. Thanks again.

I would recommend registering it under the Part 107 process rather than the hobby process, otherwise you will simply have to do it again once you start flying Part 107.

Agreed

If you register as Part 107 now, you'll be able to fly for both recreational and commercial purposes. The main difference is that you'll need to register each drone individually.

Oh, well that's what I was thinking in the first place. Someone else responded to register either way. So I thought I had to register as hobby to be legal, so I did. Crap. I wish I would have waited for more than one response before taking advice. Thx

Registering as a hobbyist only registers yourself (and allows you to apply that registration number to all of your drones). You're only out $5, so don't sweat it too much

Yeah, it's ok. I'd rather spend the extra $5 and be sure I'm legal to fly now. Do you know how law relates to commercial use of selfie drone (tello/89g) for wk purposes? Less than 250g not required to register for hobby use..

If you're flying any kind of drone commercially, you must follow FAA Part 107.

That's what I thought. Thank you so much! Sorry for spamming you with noob questions.
