Where to retest?

[Teelions]

My part 107 expired in January of this year but I chose not to renew immediately. Instead I was going to do so closer to the real estate season in March where I mainly use my drone. But then the pandemic and now all testing centers are closed in March. I'm aware of the new provision for renewal testing but that is for people whose certification run out in April-June. So what can I do? Just wait?

Call the local flight schools in your area. While PSI has closed the test centers that it operates, there are a lot of "franchise" operators and some of them are still open.

Does your two years reset to when you pass the recurrent test?

Two years on the last day of the month you tested in.

When you get close to expiration, study with the same conviction you did for the first test and focus on the essentials. There is a list of sections floating around on what will be covered. I remember (I'm old, don't quote me) that there were 40-45 questions on the recurrency test. Rules, regs and charts. The important stuff.

Hey folks, my part 107 expired March 2019. Perhaps I should consider taking the initial test, again, as a recurrent test would only give me until march 2021, correct ? thanks !

Negative. You become current the day you pass the recurrency test and it's good until the last day of the month 24 months later.

If you took (and passed) it today it would be good until July 31st 2022.
