- I passed! FAA TRUST Test
I am very happy to let you know that I passed my FAA TRUST (The Recreational UAS Safety Test) "knowledge check" today, June 23, 2021.
The FAA's TRUST exam was mandated by the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act. There was a very methodical process of working with the FAA and various stakeholders to come up with the test. As part of this process, the Academy of Model Aeronautics is hosting this free test on their website, and the test was released yesterday:
www.ModelAircraft.org/TRUST
The test is very simple and can be taken in less than 45 minutes. Everyone will pass. I'd recommend using your smart phone to take the test. There are a short series of instructional slides followed by 4-10 multiple choice questions. If you get a question wrong, the application will guide you to the correct answer. In short, there is no way to fail.
To protect privacy, you do not log on to take the test. Rather, when the questions are complete you fill in your name to obtain your certificate.
Note that all recreational pilots need to take this test, to include Part 107 pilots.

Many thanks in advance for a post of this video on Facebook, it truly helps the channel a lot!

Thank you for the info. I took the test and passed. It’s easy common sense questions. Thanks again!!!
KB: That is the entire idea, get folks some useful training! Tim
Took it today and I passed!!
Great!! Tim
Congrats on passing the test and good informative video. Keep up the good work!
Rich: Many thanks! Tim
Thanks a lot Tim, you told us about this test a long time ago. It was fairly easy because I've been flying drones for years now.
CD: All good! Tim
Tim! thanks again for your uploads on remote ID and drone classification I definitely got a few questions on the test about it . your videos are forever in my playlist it was definitely a link into passing my test i got a 98% only missed 1 question. Next is to get the TRUST recreation ✌️✌️✌️✈️
Oof: Great news! TRUST test is super simple, no worries on that. Tim
Fantastic information! The learning materials sound very much like the computer based training (CBT) I had during Air Force pilot training.
I hope this information becomes common sense in the UAS community.
Monti: Thanks for stopping by! The regs are a bit new to most RC flyers, but this is where we are. Hopefully, all will work out. 😁 Tim
Very informative video, Tim! Thank you! I am heading over to the AMA site to take it now and get that behind me. The flight club I am a member of requires this test of all members. I see you live in Sugar Hill! I'm just down the road from you a couple of miles!
I hope our paths cross someday so I can say thank you in person.
And yes, I just subscribed too! :-)
SR: Glad it was helpful, thanks for checking in! Tim
Thanks for the Heads Up! I just finished the test. All common sense questions with the exception of one poorly worded question that could confuse FPV with Line of Sight. Cheers, Tim!
JH: Thanks for the update! Tim
Very useful video. Thanks for posting!
👍🏻 Tim
Thank you for the video. Very informative. Was not aware.Took the test as well. A.Arenas DVM.
AA: Glad it helped! Tim
Thanks for this heads-up video. The one question that caused me some confusion was what documents must you have available to show law enforcement if requested. I chose Trust test result only. But the answer is test result and drone registration. Well, presently I only have the Mavic Mini, and as far as I know you do not have to register it at this time (below 250 gm).
RG: Good point. 97% of pilots will need a registration certificate, but not in your case with the Mini. Tim
i may take this test to break the ice on taking my part 107 test also lol thanks so much for the videos!
👍🏻😊 Tim
doing the same thing!
@@LawnBunny777 Yeah!
Basically it’s Education for the happy flyers, the 107 is a test!

Older people, refer to this situation as the "Slow Grind Down". This refers to the fact the practically everything is becoming more regulated, more difficult to do, less enjoyable and more expensive. When I first learn to fly radio controlled airplanes in the 1980s we went to a nice flying field in Texas with a 500 foot long concrete runway. We had ONE rule, ONE. Don't hit me with your airplane. Another item was, don't hit my car with your airplane. Although, that was not a rule, just a courtesy. I've taken the test and passed, registered with the friendly people at the FAA, I've got my AMA card, my TRUST certificate, and my FAA registration document, (that makes 3 documents I need to bring) and I'm all set to go to the flying field with my OS40 glow airplane to fly around. Remember folks, the more something is regulated the less of that thing that will be.
KL: We pretty much brought this on ourselves with the drone folks flying near commercial aircraft. Sad, but the FAA cannot afford an accident like this. Having flown the B-777F a few years ago, there is just a lot of traffic in the air these days, far more than in 1980. Good news is if one flies at an AMA club field, there is essentially no change once the TRUST test is passed and FRIA is in place, which it will be. Tim
Do you have to be a member of the AMA to take the test? Thank you, I really like your channel, I get a lot of good information from you. I have a FAA # because I already registered last January, Is the test free?
Eric: You do not have to be an AMA member to take this test. Test is free, good for your lifetime! Tim
@@TimMcKay56 Thank you for all that you do, I will take the test as soon as I study up so I can be a responsible RC Flyer, I have a PT40 Trainer that I have had for many years and rebuilt many times after hard landings, fly is the best part but landing is the hardest for me. I changed out the old radio, to up graded standers to get rid of the Gremlin's that I had, weird things would happen in flight but it was a old Futaba system from the 1999's non digital. Ch42 Upgrade the engine to a 60. size and add a locator system, looking forward to get it up in the air soon. Thanks
Eric: Go ahead and take the test now. Very user friendly, all study materials part of the presentation. Tim
@@TimMcKay56 It took about a quarter of the time I thought it would, and was incredibly easy. If you've been flying a while, you're likely armed with all the knowledge you need already. Mr. McCay has done an outstanding job of being a front-line soldier, taking the hits so we'll know what to expect (and documenting it!), now it's time we reciprocate.
Tips - Don't ever lose your Certificate. Section 1 contains all the answers needed for the questions in Section 2. You cannot fail this test - if you answer incorrectly, you will be given as many chances as you need to get it right.
Yeah!! Tim
I am kind of new to flying rc planes and I fly in a field on my property. Do I need to take this test or any others? Thank you
Zac: You will need to take the test if your drone/RC plane weighs over 250 grams (around 8.8 ounces). Super easy test, lasts a lifetime. Tim
Took and passed no problems
Great! Tim
It's not really a test, it's more like an online information seminar with a few questions.
Mickey: Precisely . . . entire plan is to educate recreational flyers. Tim
You should get the guillows beaver dhc 2 and convert it to rc
Ethan: On the list! Tim
I dunno... This still sounds like the joke about the worst possible private pilot scenario: "Don't worry, I'm from the FAA, and I'm here to "help"..."
Really, not a big deal for recreational flyers at a club field. Tim
Anyone know if registration of your planes is just $5 once, or is it $5 per UAS over 250 grams?
For recreational drones, the FAA registration fee is $5.00 and the registration is good for three years. Easy to renew online at www.FAA.gov
You will use the same registration number for all of your recreational models. Tim
Where are the study materials?
Daniel: There are no study materials for the TRUST test. All information is given during the course, corrected to 100%. Everyone passes. Tim
i got one question wrong, if you get a question wrong you can just keep pushing the other answers until you get it right lol.
👍🏻 Tim
That test is mostly common sence.Its nothing us R/C modelers don't currently know or do.
Agree, more of a training session. Tim
I passed
Me too! Tim
