Today’s show is about renewing your Part 107 certificate in the wake of COVID. With most CATS centers shut down due to a second lockdown, how can drone pilots renew their Part 107 certificate?
In normal circumstances, Part 107 pilots need to visit a testing center to renew their Part 107 certificate. However, this renewal procedure has changed in the wake of covid.
With many areas announcing second lockdowns and with the FAA yet to issues any new directives, how can you remain current with your Part 107? Paul shares some great tips to help you out.

Today’s question is about getting airspace approval from an airport that is not LAANC-enabled.
Our caller for today, Chris has a question about getting permission to fly near an airport without LAANC. As per the FAA, getting airspace approval from a non-LAANC enabled airport can take up to 90 days. Clearly, this is not a feasible timeframe for most drone pilots.
So, is there any way to speed up the approval process? Paul reveals how cultivating relationships with the ATC can possibly help Chris out. Thanks for the great question. Fly Safe!
