How long is a temporary remote pilot certificate valid?

  1. 60 days

  2. 90 days

  3. 120 days

  4. 180 days

The correct answer is: 120 days

A temporary remote pilot certificate is valid for 120 days from the date of issuance. This allows individuals the time to operate as remote pilots while they await their official permanent certificate to be processed. The 120-day timeframe is established to ensure that individuals can begin legal drone operations without unnecessary delay, maintaining compliance with regulations while their credentials are finalized. This period is an essential aspect of the FAA's procedures, supporting pilots in getting started in their activities promptly and effectively, while still ensuring that they are recognized as qualified individuals under FAA guidelines during that interim period.
