Application Process.

This paragraph provides guidance on how a person can apply for a remote pilot certificate.

Applicants Without Part 61 Certificates. A person who does not have a part 61 pilot certificate or a part 61 certificate holder who has not completed a part 61 flight review in the previous 24 calendar-months must use the following process. A part 61 pilot who has completed a flight review within the previous 24 calendar-months may elect to use this process.

1. Pass an initial aeronautical knowledge test administered at a KTC.
2. Complete the Remote Pilot Certificate and/or Rating Application for a remote pilot certificate (FAA Form 8710-13).

• Option 1 (Online Form): This is the fastest and simplest method. The FAA Form 8710-13 application should be completed online using the electronic FAA Integrated Airmen Certificate and/or Rating Application (IACRA) system
