Getting fully Licensed
How it Works
Getting fully licensed can be complicated and difficult to do on your own. We offer support so that you don't have to figure out each step.
What it is: The base of all of your drone certifications, think of it like a drivers license for a vehicle. It's what allows you to fly a drone for commercial purposes.
How to get it: Watch videos through our recommended course or study with the FAA provided study materials.
It may take you around 8-15 hours of study, and taking the exam costs $175. You must take it at a testing facility, often a regional airport.
What it is: Drones larger than 55lbs (such as all agricultural drones) require a different (more complicated) registration process than smaller drones. You can't register it through the FAA DroneZone.
How to do it: Download, print and fill out this form from the FAA, and mail it in to them. You'll need the drone SN at the time of registering it.
What it is: A class 3 medical is a basic medical checkup that most decently fit middle aged people should have no problem passing. Think similar to what a CDL license may require.
How to get it: Only FAA approved doctors can give you the certifications you need for this. You can find one near you by searching online. Expect to pay $70-$170 for a consultation.
What it is: The 44807 exemption is a essentially requesting a exemption to the 55lb limit imposed by your part 107 license. It's necessary to fly large agricultural drones.
How to get it: The 44807 exemption is filed directly with the FAA. The FAA requires a large amount of documentation in this process.
What it is: The part 137 is the FAA certification that allows you to dispense economic poisons (such as fungicide) from the air.
How do I get it: It requires having an approved 44807 exemption, and registered drones among other things.
What it is: Every state has different requirements, but you'll need to get a CORE and AERIAL license to apply chemicals from the air with a drone.
How to get it: In most states universities offer a one-day course where you can study for and take the test all in the same day. We recommend that as the easiest way to get your license.
