The FAA's TRUST test is EASY and NECESSARY. Even though the test appears geared toward drones, anyone flying model aircraft needs to get a certificate and have it available when flying. Although the likelihood of getting questioned for this is low, understand that the entire point of this is to COOPERATE with the program and demonstrate (as we have as a hobby for 75+ years) that we understand how to safely operate our models.
For anyone who would say, "I'm not doing what the MAN tells me to" I'd simply respond that it's better for the hobby overall to take 15 minutes to answer some INCREDIBLY EASY questions so the AMA can represent to the FAA that we, as a group, can be trusted to act responsibly. This is NOT about YOU or your INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. We are far more powerful as a group.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the AMA Chatter or FAA Chatter sections of the RCPilot!
