Got UAS Certificate (Part 107)

The subject of that article did not hold a remote pilot certificate, as the incident took place long before part 107 went into effect. So in this case, the FAA took enforcement action against the only applicable certificate--his commercial pilot certificate. At the time, the only way the pilot in that story could operate was under a 333 exemption. He knew that too, as the FAA letter indicates he contacted the office prior to the event and was provided with information on petitioning for an exemption. So in this case, the violation was intentional.

It says for egregious violations they can pull all of your certificates. Are we talking egregious violations or any violation?

zactly.....which is why they want paper to build from for the UAS certs.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

why would we need a Commercial or Private cert for UAS? A simple written test without those certs could provide the same knowledge? But, with a bunch of Comm/PVT tickets....there is more to lose.
