What must a remote pilot maintain to comply with licensing requirements?

To comply with licensing requirements, a remote pilot must maintain a valid Remote Pilot License (RePL) and engage in ongoing training, as this ensures they are up-to-date with current regulations, technological advancements, and best practices in the field. The RePL is the foundation of a remote pilot's qualifications, and ongoing training is important for safety and operational proficiency. Regular training sessions can help pilots stay informed about any changes in laws, new equipment, and evolving techniques related to unmanned aerial systems.

While maintaining a logbook of all flights is important for personal records and may be beneficial for tracking experience, it is not specifically mandated by the licensing requirements as a condition for holding a valid RePL. Similarly, annual flight certifications or a physical check-up every six months are not universally required for all remote pilots, and requirements can vary depending on jurisdiction and specific use cases. Therefore, the combination of holding a valid RePL and pursuing recommended ongoing training is essential for fulfilling licensing obligations.
