I just got a DJI Air 3 and I’ve been really excited to test it out. I know I need to register it, but what if I fly it without putting the sticker on? Is it a big deal in the US, or can I just go ahead?
Just go ahead and register it, then use a label maker or a piece of tape and a sharpie to write the number on your drone. You can also get free stickers from Pilot Institute, but it takes a bit of time. No official sticker from the FAA though.

I just used my label maker to print mine.

Same here. Those companies like Pilot Institute and others advertising quick certification seem a bit unnecessary to me. I just studied on my own, took the Part 107 test, and passed without paying for extra courses.

It’s not really a scam; it’s just a study guide for those who need more guidance. If you can self-study, that’s extra cash for batteries!

Yeah, it’s more about convenience. Some people don’t want to spend time figuring out what to study. I bought it for that reason—it’s organized and keeps me updated on rule changes.

I used my GI Bill and went through SDI to get my Part 107. The money I saved helped me buy my drone.

This is definitely the way to go. Keep it simple.

Did the same. Already had a label maker, so it was easy.

I bought a cheap thermal label printer and printed my FAA registration number along with a reward message if found. Worked out when someone found my lost Mini 3 Pro and returned it!

Ordered my stickers from Pilot Institute, and they arrived in about a week.

They must have sped up! Mine took three months.

You can also grab stickers from Amazon in just a couple of days.
