Do I need a license to fly recreationally at SIUE?

The FAA requires all recreational drone users to take and pass The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) before being allowed to fly their drone. TRUST is a free online training program. Under 49 U.S.C. §44809, proof of test passage must be made available to the FAA or law enforcement upon request. This is in addition to any Part 107 certification you may hold. For more information on where the test can be taken, a list of authorizes administrators can be found on the FAA’s website - https://www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_flyers/knowledge_test_updates
