In this episode of Your Drone Questions. Answered, Chris breaks down one of the most common sources of confusion for new drone operators: When do you really need a Remote Pilot Certificate under FAA rules?

Chris walks through:

  • FAA registration requirements and how they compare to Transport Canada
  • The role of intent in determining whether an operation is recreational or non-recreational
  • Remote ID requirements for both micro drones and larger drones
  • Practical scenarios, including flying under supervision, training before certification, and nonprofit use cases

If you’re trying to figure out where the line is drawn—or what applies if you’re using a sub-250g drone like the DJI Mini series—this episode clears up the gray areas.
