Why is the FAA requiring recreational flyers to take TRUST?

The FAA’s Reauthorization Act of 2018 introduced new rules for how, when, and where drones can be flown for recreational purposes (49 U.S.C. Section 44809 – referred to as the Exception for Limited Recreational Operations of Unmanned Aircraft). The law requires that all recreational flyers must pass an aeronautical knowledge.
