I've been flying RC sailplanes for 43 years and you're right, I'm not too happy about this. As much as I dislike geo-sat-push-a-button flying I don't entirely blame quad-copter guys. The open skies we use to share and enjoy are being commercialized and each cubic mile put up for sale.
The problem is they should have been requiring it before now. You can kill someone if you crash a large fixed wing into them. Just like a little drone.
@@ellzgoespro6568 you do know not one person has been seriously hurt or killed . Ever in out Hobby. Not One. Maybe.. possibly.. could.. are not logical. Fact's. Not One. So why do feel the need for rules? No could possibly.. a golf ball could kill someone? Any stupid person can by golf clubs.. hit randomly into a Park.. housing.. concert.. I'm Shure has happened? Now you suggest all golfer's get a license? GPS tracked balls? I don't think you deserve freedom. You so easily give away.. or take from others? Hoping your not American? If are you definitely want my gun's.. lol I seriously doubt could kill anyone.. hurt heck ya. But kill? I've hit myself lol hurts! But mostly pride.. but is your opion. And we still can have those.. Right??
@@ellzgoespro6568 I have to disagree. I started flying R/C fixed wing when I was 12 back in the 70s long long before any of this mess. No one ever got hurt. No cars were ever crashed into. . I don't have an issue when it comes to regulation. Like in finance or health. But regulating air under 450' is just ridiculous on the face of it. Why now? Because businesses want to use it. And they have deep pockets. Hobbyists have never posed a threat to the air space because we're small in number and there is a lot of space. It's corporations that want to use UAVs as a delivery system that started all this. It's not a very efficient system and there are bound to be losses from theft and vandalism. Let's see how long they're willing to go when they start losing tens of thousands of dollars in drone gear.
20 years ago a guy I know did a maiden flight with a 60 size at park. On his first round he lost orientation and dropped out of the sky into baseball backstop fence just before the parking lot. The same guy was recharging his alkaline batteries in his transmitter over and over again and lost a 30 size biplane at a couple hundred feet up and it barreled in full speed into a different parking lot barely missing cars. He had equipment with no failsafes. I have flown since the late 90's and I've seen dummies fly all models (planes, heli's, multirotors, pizza boxes). Back then when you invested in a radio, receiver, and other equipment you had a substantial about of money to get into it. Today its like a kids week allowance and that is why we are seeing so many new dummies.
You have the best videos your not in it for the money you really want to help people. I love that about your videos. I went to uavcooach web site took the test in less then 10 mins. I not as fast as you but it was easy and now I have my certificate THANKS RUSS
In the last year I started my journey be getting a recreational certificate and wasn’t long before I decided to get Part 107. So glad I took the additional step. I learned so much, and still learning, as it opened up so many more opportunities for flying. I’ll be getting Part 108 when it’s in play.
Thanks, hadn't even heard of this. It took me 15 minutes because I actually read the material before answering the questions. I'm planning to take the 107 test shortly, but thought I might as well knock this out first.
Did not even check to see how long it took....but definitely under 15 minutes...much of it is common sense and I would have gotten the question right without reading the information prior to the quizzes....every question answered correctly the first time...YEA!!!!....piece of cake for all COMMON SENSE people. Glad it was SO EASY. And thanks for providing the website to complete the training.
I'm a student of Greg's over at Pilot Institute. He's a great teacher and the course is amazing! Thanks Russ for this video and all the videos you put out!
You need to stop asking for licenses to do what a free man with God given Rights. Not government given if get a license. Our hobby is toy Drones. Planes.. cars . Not one person in the history of our hobby has ever been killed or seriously hurt. So not about safety.. that should be very obvious. What is your conclusions based off that fact alone. If not About safety. Which it's not. Then why. You do enjoy and value your freedom?? Your a fucking Sheep. Stop Helping them take our rights. It hurt your feeling's? So be it. Not One! Why did you get your 107 ? Wasn't for safety.. so why?
Greg from the Pilot institute was the first video that I saw on this topic and you were the second. Congratulations for providing timely information. I got his notice because I had gone through his training.
Echoing Zach’s comments. Would not have known about the new requirement if not subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom of all-things drone related.
I am Canadian from Toronto and I just got my TRUST certificated through UAS Couch !! I followed you video The awesome part was that all the time I was thinking that I was studying for the test but it was actually the test lol . I got 100% in the test!! :) Now I got the TRUST and drone already registered with FAA and I got air hub portal app, Rec Rock Canyon in Las Vegas here I come !! :) thanks for this video
THANKS 51 DRONES...YOU gave me the confidence to go do the test...EASY-PEASY...I took 30 minutes but read everything! I could have skipped alot. I have a Mini 2 so I am under the weight for registry. And test was nothing to worry about & a digital copy is ok too (my printer has seen better days). Thanks again for the heads up & the "walk through ".. it helped me...PEACE
I saw something about this test on the Mavic Pilots forum. I started to read through the posts and said, "You know what? I'm going to cut to the chase and go get Russ' take on it on the 51 Drones channel." Thanks Russ! We can always count on you for the latest information.
Thanks Russ! I've had a drone for a while now, but the laws/rules etc. really put a damper on my flying and has really killed my desire to fly. This information was really helpful and has kind of rekindled a spark in me to get back out there.
Great info! woke up this morning, saw your video, went to UAV Coach's site and did the training. Even though I'm a part 107 pilot, I figured it can't hurt! Thanks again
Part 107 pilots are required to take it because your not always going to fly for business right? LOL you always need a break and kick back and fly some tiny whoops inside your house
In typical government fashion, having a part 107 pilot take this new test is senseless, since whenever we fly, anything we shoot could be of value and I would never fly and say I'm just doing it recreationally !
Russ, thanks for spreading the word. Regretfully this is a necessary evil and it is a good 5-10 minutes you will never get back, but it is something we all need to do. Thanks again
An officer approached me while I was flying and asked me if I was licensed. Instead of showing him my part 107 I gave him this certificate just to see what he would say. He came back five minutes later and said, have a good day sir.
Valuable training of basic knowledge for every drone pilot. It is the equivalent to the EASA 'Proof of Completion of the Online Training'. Thanks for sharing!
Took me 6.5 minutes but I got hung up re-reading some of the early questions because I wasn't sure they were serious! Unbelievable! My dog could pass this test!
UAV Coach - I used and found it very useful. I tried my best to think like a beginner. For those who are new its pretty darn good. Definitely agree on the experienced users. Very fast very easy.
I spent about 15 minutes one it, I haven't flown a drone since this FAA bs started. so I spent a few minutes reading some of the new stuff like Radio ID etc.
Thanks Russ..... Went through Pilot Institute, once I'd watched Greg's update info. Went through all the steps, printed out my certificate. Training session was easy. Good review info for those who have their Part 107 Certificate.
Thanks Russ. I think it's a great idea: • Training, Like you say • No cost • Something you didn't mention: Gives the pilot leverage if questioned by law enforcement or hassled by someone: "Hey I have an FAA certificate". I just got the FAA TRUST notice today by email. btw Russ your tittle includes the word "Test" LOL. Safe Travels
Hey Russ, the "TRUST" test was super easy! I completed it in 15 minutes. I've been flying drones since Sept 2015. I felt no anxiety when taking the training. It also helps that I'm a Commercial Airline Pilot and I'm use to doing recurrent training as required by my employer. Love your awesome and informative videos...you're the best. Keep up the great work!!
You are the first person to call a quad copter - a quad copter. Every RC aircraft is in fact a drone. No human is onboard to fly it. Including our military drones. I have encountered some intense conversations with a few people because they think airplanes and helicopters are not Drones. They say the Drone law is for Drones only. Lol. And I say “Yes. True. “. They don’t understand the terminology. You are the only person I have heard address this. Thank you.
I took it today on Pilot Institute and the process took about 10 minutes. I do have years of experience and a Part 107, but I did miss one question. Once you miss you immediately get to try another answer so no big deal. It’s easy and free. The certificate is printed out like about a work badge size. We have a laminator so I just laminated it and hung it on my badge thing I wear when I fly with my part 107 and my drone registration card. No big deal.
It is what it is either fly or don't if you do make sure you meet all the requirements to do so legally. - took me 15 minutes or so with none wrong :) Thanks Russ
Already got this and don’t even own a drone yet. Good to know it never expires. I only missed one question, and you can go back and answer again. I’m a slow reader and the whole thing was maybe 30 minutes. Christine
Thanks Russ.Very good right to the point no b/s video. It took me about 15 minutes to carefully read all the information and answer all the questions.Got a 100%. I do have my Part 107 UAS Certificate.
Just took the test, haven’t got the Part 107 yet but I’ve been studying for a week now. This certificate took me 5 minutes and I didn’t miss anything. Thanks for the info Russ
Thank you for this video! I haven’t heard of this before. I have my 107, just recently, I am scared of my drone, and going to over come that. I’m going to take this course, and so glad I subscribed to your channel! Thank you for all you do for us, the time you take to break things down is awesome!
Flying a drone is like riding a bike or motorcycle. The fear of crashing can make you nervous. Whenever I take my drone out for the first time I can feel the nerves start tingling. I know it's going to be fun, but at the same time scary too. I imagine it's worse for people who fly RC planes. Drones pretty much fly themselves. Unless it malfunctions if it crashes it's because of something you did. Hitting a tree limb you didn't see, flying sideways into a bush when trying to land, stuff like that. But practice makes you feel more comfortable flying. I've been flying for about 4 years now.
Mavic pro owner here. Been watching your channel since inception. Thanks for the info, I signed up took the test, took me about 15 minutes, and got a 100%. All of it is just general knowledge and basic common sense. Gladly screenshotted my proof. Keep up the great content.
Russ, I just wrote the FAA test. I'm from Canada. The FAA knowledge test is a joke. In Canada, the exam is 35 questions, with a 90 minute time limit to complete the exam. It costs $10.00 for the basic exam. You must pass with a min of 75%. If you fail you must pay and redo. It is renewable every 2 years. Also it covers subjects such as aerodynamics of flight, such as lift, weather, radio communications, etc. Not to mention, in Canada you must register each drone individually at a cost of $5.00 per drone. So ya, you guys got it easy!! If you get caught in Canada without a license or drone cert, the fines start at $1000 to $5000 cdn. So again, you guys got it made.
Not related to TRUST, but last week, I ordered a bracket to attach my IPad Mini to the controller thru your site. Got it yesterday and it will only work on older DJI's. The Air 2S Controller is totally different. The Amazon page said it was for the Air 2S. There was no problem with returning it, but thought you might be interested.
Russ you are the best!!! I built this up in my mind that it would be hard. After you informed us that it wasn’t that bad I took the test and passed it with 100%. You do a fantastic job in educating the public and keeping us informed.
Thank you. First to bring it up and totally correct on the ease of the test. I also agree that the information is relevant and well presented (on the pilot institute site where I took it). It is important in my mind that people entering this arena be educated and I think this does the trick.
Comment#2: Well I decided to go to Pilot Institute and take the "safety test." It took me about 10 minutes to complete. I chalk up my success to the local drone club I joined 10 months ago.
@@sleepingbearffg5008 - I'm not sure what your comment means. I guess I took the test just to see how easy it was and how stupid it was. And it was stupid
Thank you Russ! New sub here. I just took the test which took about 20 minutes and I got them all correct the first time. I have been flying my drone for about three years now. Again, thanks
I am a newb to the drone community and do appreciate this 3 year old video. One humorous observation is, you refer "Drone Institute" as a good source for taking the TRUST test, yet they are not included in your suggested TRUST test list in the video description. :) Nevertheless, all is well. Thanks again. Stay safe!
This is not even a test anymore, but rather a TRAINING of basic basic knowledge that every drone pilot should know. Good information) I have already passed it and received a certificate.
I just took the safety test and passed using your recommendation. It was easy and good information plus I did learn a few things about flying a drone I didn't think I needed to know so I like it
Right....My certificate has my name, a Authentication Token number and the issuer/date of issue. I beg to differ on "no FAA record of issuance" b.s... I believe this is going to eventually dramatically decrease the number of 1st offense "free passes"
The information is deleted by the provider as soon as you're done and have downloaded your certificate. That's exactly why you can't go back and re-download the certificate later. The FAA only records the certificate numbers. They do not store any of your personal information in connection with that certificate number. All of the comments here about your name going on a list are wrong, because there is no such list.
I don't know if you or one of the subscribers mentioned this but this training is also being offered by the AMA. I used Dart Drones for my Part 107, and asked them. They directed me to the AMA.
Another great job Russ. Thanks SO much for all the work you OBVIOUSLY put into your channel. So refreshing to see such high quality and germane content. Thanks again. You are much appreciated!!!!
Thank you Russ!! I just did mine and it literally took less than 5mins. Basic knowledge and great for the upcoming drone pilots.. as always much respect for keeping us in the loop as well as the new pilots
Did mine on University of Arizona site. I am a part 61 certificate holder as well as A&P, IA. This was easy being a pilot. But, then again for non pilots it will be good information.
Brand new to this - getting a dji mini 2 and wanted to be prepared. Took less than 10 minutes with UAV coach and was completely free!
I just took it. I spent 5.5 minutes including the download. Can't thank you enough Russ, Jim
About 7 minutes for me. It really is super basic info that anybody flying a drone should already know.
I did it on my cell phone; but the download option was not accessible because of the screen “real-estate” not a big deal at all, just an FYI.
Ha,ha...4 1/2 minutes. Guess that Evelynn B Woods speeding reading class finally paid off.
Wow! That took a load off of me! Thank you!

Yes, even part 107 holders till have to take the test. Complete waste of time for 107 holders IMHO.
I just classify every flight as practice or testing.

Mavic pro owner here. Been watching your channel since inception. Thanks for the info, I signed up took the test, took me about 15 minutes, and got a 100%. All of it is just general knowledge and basic common sense. Gladly screenshotted my proof.
Keep up the great content.
I just took it. I’m not Part 107. And it took me about 10 minutes. Very easy test
You are right about fixed wing and conventional helo operators. We were talking about this a long time ago and predicting this very thing.
pilot since 87', FAA is not what it use to be, don't forget that ever.
2 weeks a drone pilot. Took the test 21:28 and this is reading every word. (Pretty easy folks)
TRUST: I’m new to drone world. TY for your page information. I took the trust exam in 45min. Im new so I had to read the material.
Russ, I just wrote the FAA test. I'm from Canada. The FAA knowledge test is a joke. In Canada, the exam is 35 questions, with a 90 minute time limit to complete the exam. It costs $10.00 for the basic exam. You must pass with a min of 75%. If you fail you must pay and redo. It is renewable every 2 years. Also it covers subjects such as aerodynamics of flight, such as lift, weather, radio communications, etc. Not to mention, in Canada you must register each drone individually at a cost of $5.00 per drone. So ya, you guys got it easy!! If you get caught in Canada without a license or drone cert, the fines start at $1000 to $5000 cdn. So again, you guys got it made.
Not related to TRUST, but last week, I ordered a bracket to attach my IPad Mini to the controller thru your site. Got it yesterday and it will only work on older DJI's. The Air 2S Controller is totally different. The Amazon page said it was for the Air 2S. There was no problem with returning it, but thought you might be interested.
Russ you are the best!!! I built this up in my mind that it would be hard. After you informed us that it wasn’t that bad I took the test and passed it with 100%. You do a fantastic job in educating the public and keeping us informed.
I actually read through the whole thing, didn't really learn anything new. Took me 10 min and I am certified!! Thank you
Thank you. First to bring it up and totally correct on the ease of the test. I also agree that the information is relevant and well presented (on the pilot institute site where I took it). It is important in my mind that people entering this arena be educated and I think this does the trick.
Comment#2: Well I decided to go to Pilot Institute and take the "safety test." It took me about 10 minutes to complete. I chalk up my success to the local drone club I joined 10 months ago.
You do Know.. in all the time hobby has exist.. So now you know not about safety. So why did you take a test?
@@sleepingbearffg5008 exactly
@@sleepingbearffg5008 - I'm not sure what your comment means. I guess I took the test just to see how easy it was and how stupid it was. And it was stupid
Thanks just finished my test
Like you said simple take me about 10 minutes I took my time thanks for the info
Thank you Russ! New sub here. I just took the test which took about 20 minutes and I got them all correct the first time. I have been flying my drone for about three years now. Again, thanks
Took mine yesterday - Easy Took me just a few minutes to complete.
I am a newb to the drone community and do appreciate this 3 year old video. One humorous observation is, you refer "Drone Institute" as a good source for taking the TRUST test, yet they are not included in your suggested TRUST test list in the video description. :) Nevertheless, all is well. Thanks again. Stay safe!
Thanks again for the info. Appreciate you always doing the leg work.
This is not even a test anymore, but rather a TRAINING of basic basic knowledge that every drone pilot should know. Good information)
I have already passed it and received a certificate.
What website did you go with?
@@supremesupreme7794 trust.pilotinstitute.com
I just took the safety test and passed using your recommendation. It was easy and good information plus I did learn a few things about flying a drone I didn't think I needed to know so I like it
Thanks Russ for providing this information and the links for the test.
Ty for the link took me 8ish minutes and wasn’t a problem at all. Love your vids
Thanks for posting this, I had not heard of the requirement. As far as no one is keeping a record of our information, well...
Right....My certificate has my name, a Authentication Token number and the issuer/date of issue. I beg to differ on "no FAA record of issuance" b.s... I believe this is going to eventually dramatically decrease the number of 1st offense "free passes"
The information is deleted by the provider as soon as you're done and have downloaded your certificate. That's exactly why you can't go back and re-download the certificate later. The FAA only records the certificate numbers. They do not store any of your personal information in connection with that certificate number. All of the comments here about your name going on a list are wrong, because there is no such list.
I don't know if you or one of the subscribers mentioned this but this training is also being offered by the AMA. I used Dart Drones for my Part 107, and asked them. They directed me to the AMA.
Yep. I just learned about them having it too.
5 mins! Amazing. Thanks for this great video Russ!!
Another great job Russ. Thanks SO much for all the work you OBVIOUSLY put into your channel. So refreshing to see such high quality and germane content. Thanks again. You are much appreciated!!!!
Thanks Jon!
Thank you Russ!! I just did mine and it literally took less than 5mins. Basic knowledge and great for the upcoming drone pilots.. as always much respect for keeping us in the loop as well as the new pilots
Did mine on University of Arizona site. I am a part 61 certificate holder as well as A&P, IA. This was easy being a pilot. But, then again for non pilots it will be good information.
Hey you always give good information fly I'm going to like the sweatshirts definitely going to take the trust and eventually the 107
Yep! A very easy test. I went through the Pilot Institute version in nothing flat. Make sure to download, save and print copies of your certificate.
