New Commercial Piloting Rules - Section 333 Exemption no Longer Needed

It has taken a while but it looks like drones are official in the business world now. Glad that the gray area has been taken away.
 
A person operating a small UAS must either
hold a remotepilot airman certificate with a small UAS rating
or be underthe direct supervision of a person who does hold a remotepilot certificate (remote pilot in command).

- To qualify for a remote pilot certificate, a person must:
- Demonstrate aeronautical knowledge by either:
- Passing an initial aeronautical knowledge test atan FAA-approved knowledge testing center; or
- Hold a part 61 pilot certificate other than studentpilot, complete a flight review within the previous24 months, and complete a small UAS onlinetraining course provided by the FAA.
- Be vetted by the Transportation Security Administration


So if you have a Phantom type aircraft, how and where do you go about getting this done?
 
I was wondering if anyone had a link to the study guide from the FAA. I know we have a few pilot schools near me, thinking that taking the written test should be easy enough that I might as well get one. Don't own a remotely piloted vehicle of this sort, but figure it can't hurt unless the testing fee is outrageous.
 
For now, read the 107 material. They haven't published the test or what's in it quite yet, from what I've seen. FBOs may not offer this test; read the materials to see where it may or may not be offered. And wait. Hopefully we'll get more info soon.
