Great Job Greg and Pilot Institute Team! Loved the video and how clear the information was! ;) Can't wait to take the course ourselves! Top Class guys!
@@PilotInstitute I have a question Im getting dji air 2 or 2s for recreational I would need to take this test and do the $5 registration for 3 tears correct just wanna do everything correctly
@@PilotInstitute another question I would not have to do anything right the manufacturer would have to do something has the remote id been implemented yet
This guy rocks. Took the FAA trust course through Pilot institute, got the certificate, was a piece of cake. When I get to the point of going for 701 training I would do it through these guys.
Thank you Pilot Institute for becoming an approved administrator and doing this for free. Your dedication and support for this community, including recreational flyers, stands out and is greatly appreciated! Thank you for all the work you do!
I have complete trust in the government and the FAA, that's why I have a TRUST card so the FAA knows me and where I live! 'Couse it's all about trust you see!!
Thank you for everything. I've been a flying of FPV for the last 7 years. I've been out of the hobby for the last 2 and was so confused to come back to all this FAA garbage. You guys made it so clear in 10 minutes when I've been trying to get clear information for a month on what's required. Thank you!
Older people, refer to this situation as the "Slow Grind Down". This refers to the fact the practically everything is becoming more regulated, more difficult to do, less enjoyable and more expensive. When I first learn to fly radio controlled airplanes in the 1980s we went to a nice flying field in Texas with a 500 foot long concrete runway. We had ONE rule, ONE. Don't hit me with your airplane. Another item was, don't hit my car with your airplane. Although, that was not a rule, just a courtesy. I've taken the test and passed, registered with the friendly people at the FAA, I've got my AMA card, my TRUST certificate, and my FAA registration document, (that makes 3 documents I need to bring) and I'm all set to go to the flying field with my OS40 glow airplane to fly around. I feel like it's the quad copters that have brought all these rules to us. I've met many nice people that fly quad copters. I've learned it takes (practically) no skill at all. When the battery gets low the quad copter simply returns and lands next to your feet. Remember folks, the more something is regulated the less of that thing that will be.
I completely agree although I’m gonna have to point out that “cinematic style” drones with return to home are indeed easy to fly BUT fpv drones on the other hand do require skill. Sorry😂 just had to do us fpv flyers justice
I’m currently studying for my 107 through your course. I received your email about this yesterday and immediately did the training. Super easy, super quick, didn’t miss a question.
Completed, printed and laminated. Print at 93% to allow edges to seal. Also, the sides printed on opposite sides, left and right, of the paper. I doubled each image and rotated one side 180 degrees to get cards that have the top on the same edge and double sided. May sound convoluted, but check by printing and see what you get then adjust as necessary.
I just used your FAA TRUST Recreational test service. The lessons that were included gave all the information need to operate my drone correctly and safely. I got 100% result on the test that followed the lessons. Thank you! Now I'm headed over to register my existing DJI mavic air which I first register over 5 years ago.
Thank You for the clarity and easy steps to complete this test. Completed, Passed and Printed and Laminated, also saved on my phone. Again Thank You for all of the help you give to the Drone community whether it be commercial or recreational it's greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the info and thanks for instructing and administering this course! My daughter and I got our Part 107 Certification training through Pilot Institute and we’re looking forward to taking this course. We love your teaching style and all the info you provide. You don’t just “teach the test”. You offer a lot of gray additional info. Thanks again!
I think the test is a great thing for our drone community. It's big now, and growing at an amazing speed. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to take it through you guy's. I appreciate it.
So when I was 16...Im 38 now...The Academy of Model and Aeronautics had a similar test to take. People complaining about the rules don't realize that even model airplanes and model anything really back in the day still required you to take a test for your safety and everyone else's safety...I understand why it needs to be done of course...I was happy to take the new test and found out I had been doing some things wrong...Im glad I researched out of paranoia and took my TRUST test. Gives me relief that I now have a digital copy of my recreational license in my phone. Just wish I could have one in my wallet...lol. Stay safe everyone. Back in the day this test was written and had to be sent in by mail...so it took weeks and months to get certified...lol. Be happy it's so easy to do now...lol.
The test was a great refresher course. It's not complicated. The test is designed to make folks understand the foundational layers of drone flying, ensuring people understand the basic rules such as conditional vs. unconditional zones.
Thanks for this info. Took the TRUST test and passed. Had no clue there were s many laws out there. I was led to believe that buying a drone under 250 grams meant you were free to do what you wanted. Well I got slapped in the face fisrt time I tried to fly because my app said you cannot fly in that area. I was about 4.4 miled from a small airport. Sis find the work around though after I got home. Was trying to find a place to practice flying the drone.
As always, thank you so much Greg. You do such a good job for people such as myself, amateur/recreational pilot just trying to learn and stay compliant.
Thank you. Idk. Been out of nitro rc helis for a long time. Got a hankering for a fpv drone. Test was easy, 15 mins, 100 %. I'm safe now. Thanks again for the video.
Thank you Pilot Institute! I just finish the TRUST program it was so easy, and gave me a lot of learning information as Greg said in this video. I own a DJI Min 2 not sure I want to take this test, but I am so glad I did. FREE are you kidding me!
Just an FYI - I contacted the FAA (I'm also an A&P Maintenance Technician) and they said that while sub-250g UAVs aren't REQUIRED to be registered, there is no prohibition to registering them, if the owner chooses to. Registration numbers then have to be clearly marked on the UAV as with the required ones.
Thank you very much for the informative videos that you share. I just went to your website and obtained my TRUST certificate. I just found your youtube channel and I have been flying for a couple of years. I will indeed frequent your channel for more up to date information and to keep up with regulations.
Thanks for the info Greg. Did go to your link and took the test. Didn't realize it is a "READ THROUGH" type format, and not video. Caught on and got my Trust Certificate for Recreational Pilot. Next on the list is to take the Part 107 Recert course on the FAA cite. Cheers.....
Unfortunately the time frame to complete this was very short (21 days) so we didn't have time to make in depth videos and get them approved by the FAA.
There are four different types of learners. I am a visual learner I learn more from video and audio. The Fleming VAK/VARK model, one of the most common and widely used categorizations of the various types of learning styles, categorized the various types of learning styles as follows: visual learners, auditory learners, reading/writing-preference learners, and kinesthetic learners (also known as "tactile learners").
I just completed the course and passed the four tests with 100%. It was quick and easy to go through the information and quizzes. One thing, it might be nice of the downloaded PDF file had the front and back of the certificate lined up so you don't have to tape together the front/back portions of the certificate.
Thanks for the info! Almost done with the pilot institute course but this was good info and it feels good to be in compliance. Took test on my phone, had no issues!
Great explanation and just passed test. Download was easy but I don't have a PDF reader so I went to a site and turned the PDF into a jpeg. Have paper copy and digital on my phone. Great site!
Hi! Just took the test and passed, thank you very much its a huge help for someone like me that about to get my very first drone, next step registration .
Also practice fly if you have been flying a different type drone for a while and go back to one with different characteristics! Mentoring/teaching fellow pilots with a variety of drones can be a real challenge, especially if you don't own and fly all the drones they might have.
Great Job. I've been flying away and neevvverrr knew; now I do. I watched your videos, completed the training, have my Trust Cert all laminated (I made four of them) and just registered my drone with FAA and printed/laminated four cards as well. I'll get my FAA Reg # on the drone tonight. I saw the part about CBOs, but lost that page and haven't found it on the FAA of their approved list. Other than that, have already referred your site/videos to others. Thanks again.
Thank you for the summary and FAQ! _Just_ starting out flying: you mentioned the "9 things you need to fly recreationally". It there a link to or reference for that list? EDIT: found my own answer * Have a current registration * Fly only for recreational purposes * Follow the safety guidelines of a community based organization * Keep your drone within your visual line of sight * Give way and do not interfere with any manned aircraft * Fly at or below 400’ in controlled airspace and only with prior authorization * Fly at or below 400’ in uncontrolled airspace * Comply with all airspace restrictions * Pass The Recreational UAS Safety Test
Appreciate it I just took it and passed it. Good for a first time recreational flyer like myself. I’m looking to take the part 107 for my actual license

How to fly a drone recreationally: 1 If your drone weighs more than .55 lbs, register your drone through the FAA's DroneZone 2 Pass TRUST 3 Follow safety guidelines on the FAA website or of an existing aeromodelling organization” When I read this, I’m under the impression you still don’t need to complete TRUST if you are under .55. Can you clarify?
Oh boy, I get to take TRUST again as I can't find my certificate and my main computer had a hard drive failure so I tossed it and got a new one. At least I know I won't fail it.
So easy took a few minutes , save as a pdf and print it, don't forget . Printed it drivers license size and laminating. You just read a section and answer questions, read and answer. read and answer...... very easy . So easy I would have gotten 100% right without reading the material , just common since but I think you should read it all carefully.
Its a great idea, free training that all drone pilots should have but i think it should be yearly to include updates in drone laws. Still free and possible you could sign up for reminder when its time to update your education, sort of like CE's continuing education classes. This way you keep the training and education going and its all centralized.
Thank you so much you are really very informative and helpful to us that are thinking of getting a part 107 in the future, I would deffinally trust Pillot Institute for the corse, pass the test today and was surprise how much I already know from watching your channel only took me 20 minutes.
The test is a breeze! I only stumbled on one question, and was able to go back, to answer it again. While many might scoff at this test, I think it's VERY important, that all people flying drones should know the stuff on this test, and adhere to the regulations. While this won't stop the idiots out there knowingly flying illegally, it will make it easier for the FAA and law enforcement to do something, when they find one of these Richard Craniums harassing and causing issues with the general public.
A suggestion for the certificate layout. If you put both sides of the card at the top two corners then you can print on both sides and make 2 cards. Much more simple.
I know people who are off the grid and live a simple life in remote areas who have a drone. I will make sure the ones I know of get the message when I go camping, however where they are is not where anyone would likely be asking for a certificate. My question is: At what point in time will the certificate be required? Obviously, not everyone will be getting the word immediately.
There is currently a grace period and no word on what the compliance date is. At some point, yes you could be fined for not being able to produce the certificate.
@@PilotInstitute Now the question is, will they even have a sign up at retail stores selling drones pointing them to the new rules? (I know, silly question. No, no they won't).
What about a person who purchases a drone and doesn't know a test is required? Poor guy could break a FEDERAL law when he thinks he's just playing with his toy. Leans towards entrapment.
Certainly not everything you need to know on the test. At the end I commented on Facebook and I will here, your "Deep Dive" free courses on the DJI drones are essential to understanding what a pilot does not know! I recommend (ed) taking all the courses, even though I do not have the drones. There is a huge amount of great information and repetition of LAANC, sectional reading and such is all to the benefit when you have no memory! I also watch as many "good" UA-cam videos as I find and keep a library on my drive for reference and to help out club members. The word has already been spread on this video and the test. What do you do if no recognized rules in your area? Looks like legally you cannot fly? Bureaucrats are just so much fun as they try to build their little kingdoms on subjects they do not fully understand!
Greg, I just completed the test, but when I attempted to download the cert to my phone, it kept saying image couldn’t be retrieved. I ended up doing a screen shot, but wanted to give you a heads up.
Great Job Greg and Pilot Institute Team! Loved the video and how clear the information was! ;) Can't wait to take the course ourselves! Top Class guys!

It's super easy, and took me almost exactly 30 minutes.
How about for UA-camrs who may or may not be putting ads and monetizing their hobby? So no more of that?
😂😂😂 such fucking bot responses

Thank you for the summary and FAQ! _Just_ starting out flying: you mentioned the "9 things you need to fly recreationally". It there a link to or reference for that list?
EDIT: found my own answer
* Have a current registration
* Fly only for recreational purposes
* Follow the safety guidelines of a community based organization
* Keep your drone within your visual line of sight
* Give way and do not interfere with any manned aircraft
* Fly at or below 400’ in controlled airspace and only with prior authorization
* Fly at or below 400’ in uncontrolled airspace
* Comply with all airspace restrictions
* Pass The Recreational UAS Safety Test
We're working on a video for the 9 things! Here's the link to the FAA's website! www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/
Appreciate it I just took it and passed it. Good for a first time recreational flyer like myself. I’m looking to take the part 107 for my actual license
Just used your website to obtain the TRUST Cert. Great setup and super easy! Printed and stored in my Drone bag.
Just took and passed it! IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL!
Completed and thank you. I used your training to get my 107, and several other courses offered. I also follow you on Fridays.
Grey, per FAA website under trust, it states
“What is a recreational flyer?
A recreational flyer is someone who operates their drone for fun or personal enjoyment purposes only.
How to fly a drone recreationally:
1 If your drone weighs more than .55 lbs, register your drone through the FAA's DroneZone
2 Pass TRUST
3 Follow safety guidelines on the FAA website or of an existing aeromodelling organization”
When I read this, I’m under the impression you still don’t need to complete TRUST if you are under .55. Can you clarify?
You still must complete TRUST, however you are not required to register your drone if you use it solely for recreation and it is under .55lbs.
Thanks much! All squared away with Trust and drone registration.
Oh boy, I get to take TRUST again as I can't find my certificate and my main computer had a hard drive failure so I tossed it and got a new one. At least I know I won't fail it.

Great job as always Greg.
Have they stated any penalty for flying without the certificate? I am assuming a lengthy period of leniency for compliance.
There is currently a grace period and no word on what the compliance date is. At some point, yes you could be fined for not being able to produce the certificate.

What about a person who purchases a drone and doesn't know a test is required? Poor guy could break a FEDERAL law when he thinks he's just playing with his toy. Leans towards entrapment.
Thank you, Certificate now in hand.
I already took it I passed it thank you I really appreciate you
Certainly not everything you need to know on the test. At the end I commented on Facebook and I will here, your "Deep Dive" free courses on the DJI drones are essential to understanding what a pilot does not know! I recommend (ed) taking all the courses, even though I do not have the drones. There is a huge amount of great information and repetition of LAANC, sectional reading and such is all to the benefit when you have no memory! I also watch as many "good" UA-cam videos as I find and keep a library on my drive for reference and to help out club members. The word has already been spread on this video and the test. What do you do if no recognized rules in your area? Looks like legally you cannot fly? Bureaucrats are just so much fun as they try to build their little kingdoms on subjects they do not fully understand!
Greg, I just completed the test, but when I attempted to download the cert to my phone, it kept saying image couldn’t be retrieved. I ended up doing a screen shot, but wanted to give you a heads up.
Thanks for the heads up! Should be fixed now!
Great video and easy test thanks for sharing! I just took it and passed with 100%
