Question 32
Domain 4: FAA Part 107 RegulationsHow often must a remote pilot certificate be renewed?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
A remote pilot certificate must be renewed every 24 calendar months under FAA rules. The renewal requirement keeps the certificate current by requiring the pilot to complete recurrent training or testing within that 24-month period.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Every 12 months
B. Every 24 months
14 C.F.R. § 107.65 requires a remote pilot certificate holder to maintain currency by completing recurrent training or a recurrent knowledge test within each 24-calendar-month period. The FAA’s Part 107 framework does not use an annual renewal cycle here; the certificate remains current only if that 24-month interval is met.
C. Every 36 months
D. Remote pilot certificates do not expire
