Not in canada, have to complete a comprehensive course. Imagine if all the drone pilots needed a pilots licence, would ground 99% of them. Speculating but im sure a licence now is $15 to $20,000
Here are a few of the drone requirements.
If your drone weighs over 250g it needs to be registered with the FAA
If you are flying as a “recreational” pilot the FAA wants you to take and pass the FAST course and test. Super easy online.
If you are flying commercially, being compensated in any way for flying the drone. You will need a part 107 sUAS pilots license through the FAA.
There are a lot of online schools to help you get through that test. The test itself is under $200
There are a plethora of rules pertaining to drones that most folks don’t know or care about.
Max altitude of 400’ AGL
VLOS (visual line of sight)
Visual observer, the list goes on and on.
Funniest and scariest part about this whole thing is there is no actual flight test. Unless you’re flying a drone over 55lbs or applying pesticides/herbicides. Then there are a whole other set of rules.
