RegulationsQuestion 6 of 100
A remote pilot passed the initial aeronautical knowledge test in March 2024 and has flown regularly since. To keep exercising the privileges of the certificate, what must this pilot do?
a.Retake the initial knowledge test at a testing center every 12 months
b.Complete a flight review with an authorized instructor every 24 months
c.Complete recurrent training within the previous 24 calendar months
d.Apply for a new remote pilot certificate every 36 calendar months
Explanation
Correct answer: complete recurrent training within the previous 24 calendar months. Section 107.65 requires currency through recurrent training, which certificated remote pilots may satisfy with the free online FAA course. There is no 12-month retest, no flight review requirement for Part 107, and the certificate itself does not expire on a 36-month cycle.
