    Part 107 Test/Recurrency go LIVE 4/6/21... Important notes . . .

    Well technically you can't fail the Online Training Module. At the end it's a test but if you miss an answer it is indicated, you change your answer, and resubmit. You keep doing this until you get them all right. I haven't tested to see if the amount of retries is unlimited but I suspect it is.

    FAA Facility Maps (LAANC Grids)

    So you're wanting the FAA to apply Common Sense? How dare you insinuate such a notion LOL! No there is no "Deviation".... Flight is Flight is Flight whether it's 5' AGL or 500' AGL. The premise is they still have to allow for Pilot Error, Mechanical Failures, and with many modern UAS the...
