Trends in Drone Pilot Certification

The relevant drone pilot certification is necessary before you can get an opportunity to pilot an unmanned aerial vehicle for commercial purposes. However, this will also depend on your area of jurisdiction.
In the recent past, the FAA published guidelines regarding drone pilot certification. This has raised concerns that they may be unable to handle an unexpected flood of requests that will come with the expanded use of drones. Since there is rapid growth in the technology, the agency offered to grant waivers for operations outside new limits as long as the applicant proves that they are safe.

Nightime flights
There are some simple waivers that allow things like limited flight timer at night that will now be approved faster as compared to the requests that are more complex. However, there are thousands who are looking forward to flying under new rules and are ready to take the tests.
According to DARTDrones LLC a company that is based in Woburn, Massachusetts, there is a steady increase in the number of people who are showing interest in the training since the new regulations were unveiled by the FAA. It seems that every person is now in frenzy when trying to determine how they will study for the test.
Community college
According to the University of Columbia Community College that operates aviation program, there are hundreds of slots that have been reserved  at the test site approved By the FAA for people who are looking for license for drones  within a month. Many of those who are bracing to take the tests say that they are very excited to ensure that they go through the process as it will open up a lot of opportunities for firms.

Many companies are hoping to use drones in areas such as agriculture, construction as well as other industries.
