I Got My FAA Drone License

Recently I learned that YouTube drone users are supposed to be commercially registered and licensed. The process is a bit obscure and disorganized, but I finally have my (temporary) license. If the FAA is still around after all the budget cuts and firings, then I should have my permanent license in a few months!

Getting licensed is not only the law, it's a good idea! Folks like https://www.youtube.com/@UCsOm_lj8iA_QtgX1IzcCtLg would appreciate it!

Tony Northrup's info was really helpful, although it's slightly out of date: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_ucCKFJUCU

PSI testing no longer schedules tests over the phone, their website is: https://www.psionlinestore.com/faa-uas-drone-test-preparation/

Thing on the actual test that I don't remember seeing in the study materials:
Declaration Of Compliance: https://www.jmpeltier.com/drone-declarations-of-compliance/
Pressure vs Density Altitude: https://calaero.edu/aeronautics/principles-of-flight/pressure-altitude-vs-density-altitude/
Magnetic variation (I'm lucky to live somewhere where it's currently 0!):

My particular test also had a LOT of airspace classification and altitude questions, so make sure to study those!
