About this playbook
Pass the FAA Part 107 knowledge test, receive your Remote Pilot Certificate, and fly drones commercially in the United States. This guide uses only free FAA study materials and walks you from zero aviation knowledge through every step: studying airspace, weather, loading, and regulations; passing the UAG test at a PSI testing center; completing the IACRA application and TSA vetting; registering your drone and setting up Remote ID; and building a flight-log system with LAANC airspace authorizations. The final phase covers night operations, over-people categories, waivers for beyond-line-of-sight flight, and conducting your first paid job. The path takes roughly 24 hours of hands-on work across five phases, with waiting periods for the test appointment and certificate processing. It does not cover drone purchasing advice, Part 135 certification, or operations outside US airspace.
