UPDATE: Remote Pilot Knowledge Test Changes Effective April 6, 2021 The final rule updates the initial Remote Pilot knowledge test to include night subject areas.... Additionally, the final rule replaces the requirement to complete an in-person recurrent test every 24 calendar months. The updated requirement is for remote pilots to complete online recurrent training which will include night subject areas. The online recurrent training will be offered free of charge to remote pilots.

FAA Announces Effective Dates for Final Drone Rules The final rules requiring remote identification of drones and allowing some flights over people, over moving vehicles and at night under certain conditions will go into effect on April 21, 2021. Remote identification (Remote ID) requires identification of drones in flight as well as the location of their control stations or takeoff point. It provides crucial information to our national security and law enforcement partners, ...and other officials charged with ensuring public safety. Airspace awareness reduces the risk of drone interference with other aircraft, people and property on the ground. The Operations Over People rule applies to pilots who fly under Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The ability to fly over people and over moving vehicles varies depending on the level of risk a small drone operation presents to people on the ground. The rule allows operations based on four categories, which can be found in the rule’s Executive Summary. Additionally, this rule allows operations at night under certain conditions. Prior to flying under the new provisions, a remote pilot must pass the updated initial knowledge test or complete the appropriate updated online training course, which will be available on April 6, 2021. Part 107 currently prohibits drone operations over people, over moving vehicles and at night unless the operator obtains a waiver from the FAA. The new FAA regulations jointly provide increased flexibility to conduct certain small drone operations without obtaining a waiver. The Operations Over People rule requires that remote pilots have their remote pilot certificate and identification in their physical possession when flying. It also expands the class of authorities who may request these documents from a remote pilot. The final rule replaces the 24 calendar month requirement to complete a recurrent aeronautical knowledge test with the requirement to complete updated online recurrent training that includes the rule’s new provisions. The public can review both the Remote ID (PDF link below) and Operations Over People Rule (PDF link below) in the Federal Register.

Attention Flight/Ground Instructors: FAA Test candidates that do not provide the proper endorsement for any FAA Knowledge Test that requires one will be turned away. Please use FAA Advisory Circular No: 61-65H for guidance on endorsements. Writing proper endorsements using the recommended wording is important. ... For Example: We are seeing many CFI’s endorsing student pilots for the Private Pilot Airplane Knowledge Test adding ASEL, MEL or SEL as the name of the test. This is incorrect. We have added the image of what a Private Pilot Airplane Knowledge Test endorsement should look like. Test candidates will forfeit their test fee as PSI Testing does not refund fees if a test candidate does not have the proper endorsement or identification. All requirements for all FAA Knowledge Tests are in the FAA Test Matrix dated January 13, 2020. Thank you.
