  1. Only an FAA inspector
  2. The FAA, NTSB, TSA or law enforcement ✔
  3. Any member of the public

Why: Section 107.7 says the remote pilot must keep the certificate and ID readily accessible. You must show them on request to the FAA, NTSB, TSA, or any federal, state or local law enforcement officer.

Huh, didn't know that: The FAA may also ask to inspect or test your drone to confirm you follow Part 107.

The dad joke
Why does the drone pilot carry his certificate everywhere? He likes to keep his credentials up in the air.
