ADU 01098: How Can I Renew My Part 107 Certificate In the Wake of the Coronavirus Outbreak?

Today's question is about renewing your Part 107 certificate in the wake of the virus outbreak. Our caller, Jaime works as an emergency manager in public health in South Carolina. When he is not on the frontlines bravely fighting the virus outbreak, Jaime also takes up drone jobs as a Part 107 pilot. Now, Jaime's Part 107 license is due for renewal shortly. But with the lockdown in effect, he cannot possibly renew his certificate right now. What should Jaime do? Can Jaime continue flying without getting into trouble with the FAA? Excellent question, Jaime. Certainly, many of you must be worried about renewing your Part 107 certificate given the current situation. With all CATS testing centers shut down, is there any way to renew your certificate? If not, will your insurance company process your claim in the event of a drone crash?
