Becoming a Drone Pilot

So you got a new drone and now its time to become a licensed pilot.  First step is to study hard and take the FAA's Part 107 Test to become licensed.  There are many online study guides / you tube videos and even classes to help pass the exam.  My best friend when I was studying was YouTube and watched a few different videos on the test and what to study.  

After passing the exam you will get a Part 107 card from the FAA in the mail.  Each state also has there own rules and regulations. 
 
For Minnesota there a few more steps to in the process.  
​
Step 1 - Register your drone with the State of Minnesota
​
Step 2 - Getting a Minnesota Commercial Operation License.
​
When registering you will need to provide proof of insurance as well as the drone numbers 
​

After receiving your Part 107 License you will need to renew every 24 Months.  Its a online training and test that takes about a hour and a half to complete.  Upon completion you will be able to print / save / email your certificate.
