If asked by authorities, what two documents should you be prepared to show?

• A. Proof of test passage and Proof of registration
• B. Proof of insurance and registration
• C. Proof of address and name
• D. Flight plan and weather briefing

Answer: (A)

When authorities pull you over or stop you for a check, you should be able to show two things to prove you’re operating safely and legally: proof that you passed The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) and proof that your drone is registered with the FAA. The TRUST certificate shows you’ve demonstrated knowledge of the rules and safe operating practices for recreational flying. The registration proof confirms the aircraft is registered and identifiable, which helps enforce accountability and traceability. Insurance isn’t required for recreational UAS by the FAA, and a flight plan or weather briefing isn’t something authorities typically need to see during a casual check. Likewise, proof of address or name isn’t what’s requested for these enforcement verifications.
