The US isn't and doesn't work like Australia. No nanny state, TYVM.
Fly a low-mass, little toy around, the government wanting you to get a license and track you like you're operating a nuclear reactor is absurd.

I don't know the requirements for operating a nuclear reactor, but here's the requirements to operate a water treatment plant:
* A degree in engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry, physics from an accredited school.
* Pass a licensing exam
* For operating larger plants, a minimum of X years experience working at smaller plants first.
* After getting your license, you're required to have N hours of continuing education requirements before you can renew your license. Something like 10 hours / year.
