This is the best video to get drone pilot license. I followed every step while process. Now I'm a drone pilot. Thankyou!

[darkabacus]

15 minutes ago I was pretty sure this was a lot of stuff to juggle... now I know where to go, do, AND bro provided links? Ya'll blame him when I'm zip-zappin up in that stuff

[psycholist]

98%. One wrong out of 60, just like on my private pilot license exam. Thanks so much. All the questions were different from the ones in your course but it didn't matter; your course prepared me REALLY well.

Just took mine today! Scored an 87! Also a bonus, most military bases can proctor the exam if they are approved by the FAA. Best part is that the exam is free if you register to take the exam at any of the approved sites! It will save you $175. Edit: you need to be active duty, reserve or guard

[ChadAmI]

Seriously thank you for this. I was just looking to get a drone license to do roof inspections for my exterior cleaning business. I didn't realize how involved it was. I've got some work to do ;-)

[josiahvalentine]

This has been super helpful at guiding me through the steps! I'm sure I could have figured it out but having the extra security of your clear instructions when dealing with government websites and information was a blessing!

[OutsideCleaners]

Great helpful video! Thanks for this info. A+

[EastTexasHomestead]

Awesome info and right to the point. I've signed up for the class!

[CA.R.E.]

Awesome, I can’t wait to become certified!

[lrcopeland]

Great video. I was so confused before watching. You lay out the process in an understandable manner. Thank you.

[DTChunky]

Thank you for all your help. This is great!

[YurieGoto]

Thank you for your nice explanation about documentation. It helped me a lot. Now I submitted a new application!!

[angelodelpasen]

David, thank you for sharing this information. I am excited to learn more about getting my part 107 license. I have checked out all your links and can't wait to get my license now.

[lcygx]

Dude.... Thank you for the magnifying glass tip! They give you a book with the charts and you cannot zoom in like on the computer. I did not know I needed this but when I got there... I needed it! Thank you! I passed! (88% btw)

[Hitsugaea]

About to get started on this process here in the state of TX!!! Wish me luck

[calvintrask]

I have had no luck finding the "part 107" exam to schedule a test. If you ask google if the part 107 and the UAG are the same thing it says they are not. Thank you very much for clearing that up!

[rathmorg]

I passed with a 90% after taking this course, and I'm 61 and retired!

The money back guarantee makes this a no brainer.

[Alam-mxzj]

Man thanks for this video i wanted a drone and i saw this video and never knew you need a license. But now i know where to get it and how to do it

[psycholist]

I got my private pilot license in 2012 and thought "Hmm...I wonder if I already have an FTN." Lo and behold I did. Step 1 already done and I barely had to lift a finger.
