Part 107 recurrent training due date
Your remote pilot certificate does not expire, but your right to use it does. Enter the month you last passed the test or finished recurrent training.
When did you last pass the test or finish recurrent training?
You are current through October 31, 2027. Complete recurrent training before then to keep flying under part 107.
The rule
Under 14 CFR 107.65, you may not operate under part 107 unless, within the previous 24 calendar months, you passed an initial knowledge test or completed recurrent training. Calendar months run to the end of the month: a course on any day in March 2025 keeps you current through March 31, 2027.
The FAA’s Part 107 Small UAS Recurrent course (ALC-677) is online and costs nothing. Pilots with a current part 61 flight review can take ALC-515 instead.
