Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The FAA is reducing the burden that currently applies to remote pilots in command under 14 CFR part 107 by proposing a rule that would require successful completion of training, rather than completion of a written knowledge test, every 24 months. This proposed change would reduce the overall number of people whom the current rule requires to travel to a knowledge testing center and complete the recurrent test.
