Does a Remote Pilot certificate itself expire?
- A.Yes; it expires every 24 calendar months and a new certificate must be reissued by the FAA before the pilot may fly again
- B.No; the certificate does not expire, but its privileges may not be exercised unless recurrent training is current
- C.Yes; it expires after 3 years from the date of issue, on exactly the same cycle as the registration of the pilot's aircraft
Correct answer
B. No; the certificate does not expire, but its privileges may not be exercised unless recurrent training is current
Why
The certificate has no expiration date, which is different from the 3-year aircraft registration. What lapses after 24 calendar months without recurrent training is the ability to exercise the certificate's privileges.
