Do you have to get the exemption if you are a private pilot?Sent mine a little over a week ago. FAA says they are about 60 days backlogged. Was only 2 weeks a few months ago..

I think it may be the other way around. Some of the exemptions are requiring a pilot license. (which I have). From the FAA website:Do you have to get the exemption if you are a private pilot?
I have a private pilot's license but I'm not current.I think it may be the other way around. Some of the exemptions are requiring a pilot license. (which I have). From the FAA website:
Pilot certification requirements for petitions for exemption under Section 333 are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. While Section 333 grants the Secretary of Transportation flexibility with regard to airworthiness certification requirements, it does not grant the Secretary any flexibility with regard to airman certification standards as outlined in Sections 44703 and 44711 of Title 49 of the United States Code (49 USC). An FAA airman certificate is required to operate an aircraft in the National Airspace System.
Edit.. Just found this under the new section..
- The agency now allows operations under these exemptions by people who hold a recreational or sport pilot certificate. Previously, Section 333 operators were required to have at least a private pilot certificate. The newly added certificates are easier to obtain, and therefore less costly, than a private pilot certificate.
I'm not current either, but you don't need a medical. They are allowing a valid driver's license to replace the medical. And since a pilot's license is good for life..You only need check rides to carry passengers or fly in controlled airspace. Neither of which you will be doing with a quad..I have a private pilot's license but I'm not current.
Yes, the FAA says you need 333 exemption to fly drones commercially. A condition of the granted exemption is that the PIC of the drone havce at least a sport pilot license.Do you have to get the exemption if you are a private pilot?
My original purpose for owning a drone was to provide some of the Real Estate agencies some good video of properties they list. Something they could place on the internet.I'm not current either, but you don't need a medical. They are allowing a valid driver's license to replace the medical.
