For those of you who have a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate that has or is about to lose currency — meaning, more than 24 months have elapsed and you need to get it renewed — we have some great news to share on behalf of the FAA about Part 107 renewals.
As of April 6th, 2021, drone pilots who are already certified no longer need to take an in-person recurrent exam at a PSI test center.
You still have to demonstrate currency every 24 months, but it will now be through a free online training course from the FAA.
Here’s more information on how to take the new recurrent training.
