## Key Objectives

Drone flight is regulated by FAA regulations. This module introduces students to requirements for drone registration, drone flight, and drone pilots. The module also provides a framework of study for the Part 107 UAS license to become a commercial drone operator.&#x20;

* [ ] What is TRUST? How to obtain a TRUST certificate? What are the basic requirements for recreational flyers?&#x20;
  * TRUST is the Recreational UAS Safety Test that all recreational pilots must pass before flying drones. The TRUST certificate covers aeronautical knowledge and safety information.&#x20;
  * <mark style="color:red;">**`Note`**</mark>: Students must pass the TRUST Test and obtain their certificate prior to flying drones (module 5)
* [ ] Describe the basic parts of Part 107 as it pertains to drone requirements (classes, weights, and registration), pilot knowledge, and certification.
  * A Part 107 license allows drone operators to fly registered drones under 55 pounds
  * Registration for a Part 107 licensed drone must be updated every 36 months
  * Part 107 drone operator is  required to pass a recurrent aeronautical knowledge test every 24 months to remain current.&#x20;
* [ ] Describe the difference between recreational and commercial flights.
  * Recreational flights are purely for fun or personal enjoyment&#x20;
  * Non-recreational purposes doesn't necessarily involve financial compensation. For example, taking pictures of a high school football game would be considered a commercial flight.
* [ ] Describe the requirements for legally flying a drone for recreational and commercial purposes.
  * For recreational flights, a drone operator must obtain a TRUST certification. The operator may have to register their drone with the FAA if its weight > 0.55 pounds.&#x20;
  * For commercial flight, a drone operator must obtain a Part 107 license and register their drone with the FAA.
