The FAA test reviews safety rules and legal requirements for which you will receive a paper or cell phone certificate that you should keep available when you fly. This test is available for all members of The Academy of Model Aviation at no charge. Others check the FAA website.

All drone flyers, even those flying a drone under .55 lb ,are required to take this test. FAA Registration with serial numbers is still required for all drones and RC aircraft over .55 lbs.
