Why do you need a FAA 107 License? 
If you are going to fly a drone for commercial/entrepreneurial purposes then you must have a Part 107 license in the United States. The FAA has a broad definition of what commercial means and you should be certified if you make money from drones (including monetization from ads on YouTube, etc). Real estate professionals, roofers, photographers, mappers, influencers, and first responders are all using drones to increase their results.

  • Physically & mentally fit to fly a drone
  • Speak and write english

Exam Details: Part 107 Exam

According to the FAA draft, the Part 107 exam will be: 60 question multiple choice exam with three single responses (A, B, and C) per question. Each question will be independent of the other, i.e. the outcome of one question won't affect or influence the outcome of another.
The Part 107 exam must be taken in-person at an FAA-authorized testing center. The testing fee is a flat $175, paid directly to the testing center where you schedule your test. We don't get any of your testing fee. The testing fee is non-refundable, so make sure you study before taking it. If you fail the exam, you will need to wait 2 full weeks before you can retake it.
The FAA maintains a list of authorized testing facilities. There are testing centers in most metropolitan centers in all 50 states. Some people find it helpful to sign up for a test date in advance to motivate themselves to buckle down and study.
