Jun 6, 2024 · The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has forecasted that the commercial drone fleet (drones operated in connection with a business) will reach 955,000, and that the recreational fleet (drones operated for personal enjoyment) will number around 1.82 million by 2027.

Dec 17, 2024 · While recreational pilots are not required to obtain a license, all pilots are required to pass the FAA’s Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) before they start flying their drones.

JMOHO -- They only make the requirement for legal grounds to prosecute if you do something to get in trouble with your drone.
They do not have active enforcement squads out looking for unlicensed drone users.

Nav, if you are using your drone to facilitate committing a criminal act, having or not having an FAA license won't matter much imo...
Depends on the size of the drone you fly. I have one that does not require a license.

You still have to register it, but a drone weighing less than 250 grams doesn't require a recreational license.

But if you're making money with it you better have an faa 107.
You are correct. I bought a bigger battery that takes mine over the limit...but I ain't tellin NO ONE! (other than my friends here)
