This guy rocks. Took the FAA trust course through Pilot institute, got the certificate, was a piece of cake. When I get to the point of going for 701 training I would do it through these guys.

[@nightlightabcd]

I have complete trust in the government and the FAA, that's why I have a TRUST card so the FAA knows me and where I live! 'Couse it's all about trust you see!!

Thank you Pilot Institute for becoming an approved administrator and doing this for free. Your dedication and support for this community, including recreational flyers, stands out and is greatly appreciated! Thank you for all the work you do!

[@SC515]

I agree on keeping up with training. Thank you Greg for all the support you do with educational videos.

[@PilotInstitute]

Our pleasure, we love doing what we do!

[@joelstolarski2244]

I agree. Glad I watched the video.

[@stevefelix3640]

Completed, printed and laminated. Very easy to understand course. Nice to take a refresher course every now and then. Thanks Greg

[@mrmidnight32]

Thank you for everything. I've been a flying of FPV for the last 7 years. I've been out of the hobby for the last 2 and was so confused to come back to all this FAA garbage. You guys made it so clear in 10 minutes when I've been trying to get clear information for a month on what's required. Thank you!

[@vashon100]

"this FAA garbage" LOL Love that. I hear ya.

[@RoaminLama]

I’m currently studying for my 107 through your course. I received your email about this yesterday and immediately did the training. Super easy, super quick, didn’t miss a question.

[@m.m.7511]

So when I was 16...Im 38 now...The Academy of Model and Aeronautics had a similar test to take. People complaining about the rules don't realize that even model airplanes and model anything really back in the day still required you to take a test for your safety and everyone else's safety...I understand why it needs to be done of course...I was happy to take the new test and found out I had been doing some things wrong...Im glad I researched out of paranoia and took my TRUST test. Gives me relief that I now have a digital copy of my recreational license in my phone. Just wish I could have one in my wallet...lol. Stay safe everyone. Back in the day this test was written and had to be sent in by mail...so it took weeks and months to get certified...lol. Be happy it's so easy to do now...lol.

[@dougcooper4917]

Congratulations Greg on being one of the Approved TRUST Test Centers selected by FAA!! Thank you for the information regarding the test!!

[@sandillac]

I just used your FAA TRUST Recreational test service. The lessons that were included gave all the information need to operate my drone correctly and safely. I got 100% result on the test that followed the lessons. Thank you! Now I'm headed over to register my existing DJI mavic air which I first register over 5 years ago.

[@protow5178]

Quick, free, can't fail! Lots of Rec fliers are feeling better now.

[@Espelter]

It's super easy, and took me almost exactly 30 minutes.

[@jeffclassics]

How about for KZbinrs who may or may not be putting ads and monetizing their hobby? So no more of that?

[@lonewolftech]

😂😂😂 such fucking bot responses

[@RezaQin]

Literally took the TRUST test as you were talking and passed no problem.

[@davida.roques1703]

I think the test is a great thing for our drone community. It's big now, and growing at an amazing speed. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to take it through you guy's. I appreciate it.

[@dennisbrooks240]

Completed, printed and laminated. Print at 93% to allow edges to seal. Also, the sides printed on opposite sides, left and right, of the paper. I doubled each image and rotated one side 180 degrees to get cards that have the top on the same edge and double sided. May sound convoluted, but check by printing and see what you get then adjust as necessary.

[@HighlanderMikeGolf]

Thanks for the info and thanks for instructing and administering this course! My daughter and I got our Part 107 Certification training through Pilot Institute and we’re looking forward to taking this course. We love your teaching style and all the info you provide. You don’t just “teach the test”. You offer a lot of gray additional info. Thanks again!

[@Vermont1965]

Thank You for the clarity and easy steps to complete this test. Completed, Passed and Printed and Laminated, also saved on my phone. Again Thank You for all of the help you give to the Drone community whether it be commercial or recreational it's greatly appreciated.

[@OriginalSniperLol]

Took it and got 100%. flying my DJI recreational LETS GOOO

[@WillamsMorales]

Thank you Greg : By having the certification and being part of the flight as a recreational pilot and registration of the most remote drone ID I can fly without any problem as long as the FAA permit . ¡ Thanks 👍 You !

[@MikeEngel]

Taken, passed, cert printed. Thanks. Great stuff as always from Pilot Institute.

[@DarkS0nicShad0w]

Thanks for the info Greg. Current Part 107 student (finished class, now studying for test), passed this TRUST cert with ease! Great stuff!

[@davejalenderki]

Thank you very much for the informative videos that you share. I just went to your website and obtained my TRUST certificate. I just found your youtube channel and I have been flying for a couple of years. I will indeed frequent your channel for more up to date information and to keep up with regulations.

[@Raysmobileonsite]

I'm a new drone owner. I just got my TRUST through you guys. Thank you. I will most likely get a 107 at some point as well. Thanks for all the info.

[@wadja62]

Thank you Pilot Institute for becoming an approved administrator. That was fast and easy...

[@appiahjoshua9068]

[@zenfire2003]

Thank you very much for all your time and effort into the very informative information. I took my time today in and in about an hour and a half received the certification. Thank you!!

Wow! An FAA test that’s quick, easy, and not at all tricky. My head is still spinning. Thanks Greg, your course was super-easy to follow.

Thanks! I completed the FAA Trust certificate test. It's drone flying time.

[@LucasKStudios]

Thank you for this video, I wasn't keeping up with drone news and didn't know this was happening!

[@tonyowen116]

Thanks for the info Greg. Did go to your link and took the test. Didn't realize it is a "READ THROUGH" type format, and not video. Caught on and got my Trust Certificate for Recreational Pilot. Next on the list is to take the Part 107 Recert course on the FAA cite. Cheers.....

[@PilotInstitute]

Unfortunately the time frame to complete this was very short (21 days) so we didn't have time to make in depth videos and get them approved by the FAA.

[@johnstonlarry]

Completed and thank you. I used your training to get my 107, and several other courses offered. I also follow you on Fridays.

[@eb4697]

Took the FAA Trust Test! Thanks you Pilot Institute! Next I will use Pilot Institute for Part 107 training 😃👍🏼

[@wyckedknight]

I took the test and already knew the answers from studying the FAA laws on drone use. Was easy for beginners as well.

[@johntells1460]

Just took and passed it! IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL!

[@Joseph-wv7yx]

Great Job. I've been flying away and neevvverrr knew; now I do. I watched your videos, completed the training, have my Trust Cert all laminated (I made four of them) and just registered my drone with FAA and printed/laminated four cards as well. I'll get my FAA Reg # on the drone tonight. I saw the part about CBOs, but lost that page and haven't found it on the FAA of their approved list. Other than that, have already referred your site/videos to others. Thanks again.

[@RetroCarGuy530]

I just completed the course and passed the four tests with 100%. It was quick and easy to go through the information and quizzes. One thing, it might be nice of the downloaded PDF file had the front and back of the certificate lined up so you don't have to tape together the front/back portions of the certificate.

[@GunsNGloryShow]

I passed. Didn't read it but i passed. All you have to do is click through it. You dont even need to know how to read.

[@johnsanders3454]

Thanks Greg. Just took the training. Easy and fast. Thumbs up!

[@RandyBrazil]

Thanks for this info. Took the TRUST test and passed. Had no clue there were s many laws out there. I was led to believe that buying a drone under 250 grams meant you were free to do what you wanted. Well I got slapped in the face fisrt time I tried to fly because my app said you cannot fly in that area. I was about 4.4 miled from a small airport. Sis find the work around though after I got home. Was trying to find a place to practice flying the drone.

[@trinitrotoluene3D]

I figured I might as well take your test before I get my Potensic in a couple days. Thanks a bunch!

[@DaRealGap1K]

Appreciate it I just took it and passed it. Good for a first time recreational flyer like myself. I’m looking to take the part 107 for my actual license

[@ericgarcia3287]

I took this test and it was super easy to pass.

[@DesertAdventuresinArizona]

Just took the course and printed my Certificate. Easy Peasy! Thanks Greg!

[@enrico7320]

The test was a great refresher course. It's not complicated. The test is designed to make folks understand the foundational layers of drone flying, ensuring people understand the basic rules such as conditional vs. unconditional zones.

[@alogumaalog]

Im about to sleep last night and i saw this and took it for awhile. thank you

[@Pizzafromthepresident]

I printed mine on photo paper, cut it to the size of the 107 license and put them back to back in a ltitle id thingy. done and done!

[@King_Kong_Rey]

Good material, thanks... got the test and now I have my Trust Certificate, will keep it on my drone bag just in case

[@jarriola55]

I took the test with you guys…well laid out. Good job!!!

[@gklein4054]

Greg, Thank you for the excellent course

Great explanation and just passed test. Download was easy but I don't have a PDF reader so I went to a site and turned the PDF into a jpeg. Have paper copy and digital on my phone. Great site!

Just got my TRUST certificate was easy now just need my drone to arrive and I’m all set

Thank you so much you are really very informative and helpful to us that are thinking of getting a part 107 in the future, I would deffinally trust Pillot Institute for the corse, pass the test today and was surprise how much I already know from watching your channel only took me 20 minutes.

Hopefully this keeps people happy on both sides

[@RicardoAdeH]

Very helpful information Greg. Thank you!

[@mikebelanger4165]

Just an FYI - I contacted the FAA (I'm also an A&P Maintenance Technician) and they said that while sub-250g UAVs aren't REQUIRED to be registered, there is no prohibition to registering them, if the owner chooses to. Registration numbers then have to be clearly marked on the UAV as with the required ones.

[@PilotInstitute]

Correct!

[@mikes.2279]

Great job ! I did the lessons and passed last night !

[@dennisbrooks240]

Also practice fly if you have been flying a different type drone for a while and go back to one with different characteristics! Mentoring/teaching fellow pilots with a variety of drones can be a real challenge, especially if you don't own and fly all the drones they might have.

[@libertyauto]

Thank you, Certificate now in hand.

[@juniorslim3673]

There are four different types of learners. I am a visual learner I learn more from video and audio. The Fleming VAK/VARK model, one of the most common and widely used categorizations of the various types of learning styles, categorized the various types of learning styles as follows: visual learners, auditory learners, reading/writing-preference learners, and kinesthetic learners (also known as "tactile learners").

[@jouneymanwizard]

Thank you for the summary and FAQ! _Just_ starting out flying: you mentioned the "9 things you need to fly recreationally". It there a link to or reference for that list? EDIT: found my own answer * Have a current registration * Fly only for recreational purposes * Follow the safety guidelines of a community based organization * Keep your drone within your visual line of sight * Give way and do not interfere with any manned aircraft * Fly at or below 400’ in controlled airspace and only with prior authorization * Fly at or below 400’ in uncontrolled airspace * Comply with all airspace restrictions * Pass The Recreational UAS Safety Test

[@PilotInstitute]

We're working on a video for the 9 things! Here's the link to the FAA's website! www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/

[@gpredd1]

Thank you, for all the info and help. God bless

[@ericreifsnyder8655]

Grey, per FAA website under trust, it states “What is a recreational flyer? A recreational flyer is someone who operates their drone for fun or personal enjoyment purposes only. How to fly a drone recreationally: 1 If your drone weighs more than .55 lbs, register your drone through the FAA's DroneZone 2 Pass TRUST 3 Follow safety guidelines on the FAA website or of an existing aeromodelling organization” When I read this, I’m under the impression you still don’t need to complete TRUST if you are under .55. Can you clarify?

[@PilotInstitute]

You still must complete TRUST, however you are not required to register your drone if you use it solely for recreation and it is under .55lbs.

[@jasong9041]

The tool you use to create new User accounts is broken, and wont let people register so they can take the quizzes and get the cert.

[@PilotInstitute]

It s eems to work here, just created an account. Can you email us at [e-mail] and send screenshots?

[@WeaselSW]

That was quick and easy, thanks!
