    For Part 107 Pilots, How Long Before Your Name Showed Up In The FAA Airman Registry?

    Just wondering if anyone has any idea how long it took for their name to show up in the FAA Airman Registry database after passing their Part 107. Or, if it still hasn't shown up, how long has it been since you passed? Thanks for any info!

    What is your workaround if the Go App won't let you fly?

    This question is more for those of us with the Remote Pilot in Command license. It hasn't been an issue yet for me but I am curious to see what other people are doing if you are a licensed pilot and you are flying in a location that the Go App won't allow you to take off.
