Click Start Test above to launch a full-length, 60-question FAA Part 107 practice test weighted exactly like the real Remote Pilot exam, or drill a single area — Regulations, Airspace and Airspace Requirements, Weather, Loading and Performance, or Operations. Every question includes a clear explanation so you learn the reasoning behind the rule, not just the answer.

The FAA Part 107 knowledge test — officially the Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG) test — is the aeronautical knowledge exam you must pass to earn the Remote Pilot Certificate with a small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) rating.

It is required for anyone who flies a drone under 55 pounds for commercial or other non-recreational purposes in the United States, and it is administered by the FAA at PSI testing centers.[1] The test measures the aeronautical knowledge a remote pilot needs to operate safely in the National Airspace System.

These practice questions follow the FAA’s Remote Pilot Airman Certification Standards (ACS), mirroring the content and weighting of the real exam so you can build readiness across every area.[2] To go deeper, pair these with our free study guide, flashcards, and cheat sheet.

Fees, providers, and policies change — always verify the current details at FAA.gov before you schedule.

What Is on the FAA Part 107 Exam?

The Part 107 exam covers five areas from the FAA Remote Pilot Airman Certification Standards: Regulations (15–25%), Airspace and Airspace Requirements (15–25%), Weather (11–16%), Loading and Performance (7–11%), and Operations (35–45%).[2]

Operations is by far the largest area, but Regulations and Airspace together make up roughly half the test — and Airspace, with its sectional-chart reading, is what most candidates find hardest. Our full practice test mirrors these proportions:

FAA Part 107 weighting by ACS area
Operations38% · ADM, CRM, emergencies, physiology
Regulations20% · 14 CFR Part 107
Airspace & Airspace Requirements20% · Sectional charts, LAANC
Weather13% · METARs, TAFs, density altitude
Loading & Performance9% · Weight, balance, CG

Practice Questions by Area

Use Start Test for a full weighted Part 107 simulation, or open the hub and pick a single area to drill your weak spot. After each full exam, your results show a per-area breakdown so you know exactly where to focus — most pilots need the most reps on Airspace (sectional charts) and Weather.

Sectional Charts and Airspace — the Hard Part

The single biggest score-mover on the Part 107 is reading a VFR sectional chart and knowing the airspace rules. You need to identify each class of airspace, know its floor and ceiling, and recognize when you must get FAA (LAANC) authorization before you fly.[3]

Airspace class by Typical dimensions, Part 107 authorization
Airspace classTypical dimensionsPart 107 authorization
Class BSurface up to ~10,000 ft MSL (inverted-wedding-cake), solid blue linesPrior ATC authorization required (LAANC/DroneZone)
Class CSurface to ~4,000 ft AGL; 5 NM core, 5–10 NM shelf from 1,200 ft AGL; solid magenta linesPrior ATC authorization required
Class DSurface to ~2,500 ft AGL; ~4 NM radius; dashed blue linesPrior ATC authorization required
Class E (surface)Surface up; dashed magenta lineAuthorization required to the surface
Class E (700/1,200 ft)Floor at 700 ft AGL (magenta vignette) or 1,200 ft AGL (blue vignette)No authorization needed below the floor
Class GUncontrolled airspaceNo authorization required

On a sectional, a notation like “41/SFC” inside a Class C ring means the airspace tops out at 4,100 feet MSL with a floor at the surface, while “41/12” under a Class C shelf means a ceiling of 4,100 feet MSL and a floor of 1,200 feet AGL. The Airspace drill in the practice hub is packed with these chart-reading scenarios so they feel routine on test day.

Who Is Eligible for a Part 107 Certificate?

To earn a Remote Pilot Certificate you must be at least 16 years old, be able to read, speak, write, and understand English, be in a physical and mental condition to safely operate a small UAS, and pass TSA security vetting.[1]

There is no college or flight-experience prerequisite, and you do not need a manned-aircraft pilot certificate. One nuance many study sites get wrong: you may take the knowledge test at 14, but you must be 16 to hold the Remote Pilot Certificate. The knowledge test is the main gate, and the practice and study process is what gets most candidates through it on the first try.

If you already hold a Part 61 pilot certificate and a current flight review, you can instead complete a free online training course rather than the full knowledge test — confirm your path at FAA.gov.

How Do You Get Your Part 107 Certificate?

You start by creating an FAA Tracking Number (FTN) in the FAA’s IACRA system, then schedule the Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG) knowledge test at an FAA-approved PSI testing center and pay the approximately $175 fee.[5]

Bring a current government-issued photo ID to the testing center. After you pass, you complete FAA Form 8710-13 in IACRA, undergo TSA security vetting, and the FAA issues your Remote Pilot Certificate.

Verify the current fee and the list of approved testing centers at FAA.gov before scheduling, as provider details and pricing can change.

How Is the Part 107 Scored?

The Part 107 is scored as pass/fail with a passing standard of 70% — you must answer 42 of the 60 questions correctly.[2]

There is no penalty for guessing, so answer every question. You receive your result immediately at the testing center, along with an Airman Knowledge Test Report that lists the ACS areas where you missed questions so you know what to review.

If you do not pass, you may retake the test after a 14-day waiting period; there is no limit on the number of attempts, but you pay the test fee each time.

Recurrent Training Every 24 Months

Since 2021 there is no recurrent knowledge test. Instead, certificated remote pilots must complete free online recurrent training (FAA course ALC-677) every 24 calendar months to keep their Part 107 privileges current.[4]

The certificate itself does not expire, but your operating privileges lapse if the recurrent training is not completed on time. The course is taken through the FAA’s online training portal and takes most pilots well under two hours.

How Hard Is the Part 107?

The Part 107 is challenging mainly because of its breadth — five very different areas in one 60-question test — rather than any single brutal topic.[2] Most first-time test-takers who study with full-length practice tests pass, and reported pass rates are high, but the exam still trips up the unprepared.

The Airspace area is the most common stumbling block: reading a VFR sectional, identifying Class B, C, D, E, and G airspace and their floors and ceilings, and knowing when LAANC authorization is required.

Weather decoding (METARs and TAFs, density altitude) and the exact Part 107 operating limits (400 ft AGL, 87 knots, 3 SM visibility) are the other areas where unprepared candidates lose points.

The takeaway: drill until you’re consistently scoring well above 70% on full-length, area-weighted practice — especially Airspace and Weather — before you book your test date.

What to Expect on Test Day

Arrive at your PSI testing center early to check in — bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID that matches the name on your registration.[5] You’ll store phones and personal items in a locker; the FAA supplies the official figures and legend supplement (with sectional-chart excerpts) you’ll need on screen and in print.

You then work through 60 multiple-choice questions, each with three answer choices, in up to 2 hours. Many questions reference a chart or figure from the FAA supplement, so practicing with sectional-chart scenarios beforehand is exactly what makes the real exam feel routine.

You receive your pass/fail result immediately, and your Airman Knowledge Test Report tells you which ACS areas to review if you need a retake.

How to Use This FAA Part 107 Practice Test

  • Recreate exam conditions. Take the full 60-question test timed, with no notes.[2]
  • Diagnose, then drill. Use a full Part 107 simulation to find weak areas, then drill them.
  • Prioritize Airspace and Weather. Sectional charts and METARs are the biggest score-movers.
  • Learn the why. Read every explanation — understanding the rule beats memorizing the answer.
  • Answer everything. There’s no guessing penalty, so never leave a question blank.

Why the FAA Part 107 Matters

A Part 107 certificate is the legal key to flying drones for any commercial or non-recreational purpose — real estate photography, inspections, mapping, agriculture, public safety, and more.[1] It signals to clients and employers that you understand airspace, weather, and the regulations that keep the National Airspace System safe. Passing the knowledge test is the one barrier between you and that certificate, and these free Part 107 practice tests are the most efficient way over it.

Conclusion

Passing the FAA Part 107 comes down to broad aeronautical knowledge — regulations, airspace, weather, loading, and operations — and the confidence to read a sectional chart under time pressure. Use this free Part 107 practice test to find your weak areas, drill them to mastery, and pair it with our free study guide, flashcards, and cheat sheet to walk in confident on test day.
