What is on the test
Questions are spread across five knowledge areas. These are the FAA's published ranges for the share of the test each area makes up:
| Knowledge area | Share of the test | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Regulations | 15–25% | Part 107 rules, certification, registration, Remote ID, night flight and operations over people. |
| Airspace & Requirements | 15–25% | Airspace classes, ATC authorization, special use airspace, TFRs and reading sectional charts. |
| Weather | 11–16% | METARs and TAFs, density altitude, stability, fronts, thunderstorms and fog. |
| Loading & Performance | 7–11% | Weight and balance, load factor, stalls and aircraft performance. |
| Operations | 35–45% | Radio procedures, airport operations, emergencies, crew resource management, decision-making, physiology and maintenance. |
Expect plenty of questions that ask you to read a sectional chart or a weather report (METAR or TAF) from the FAA's testing supplement. Those figures are handed to you at the test center, so practicing on the same figures is the best preparation.
How to book it
- Create a profile in IACRA to get your FAA Tracking Number (FTN). You need it before you can book.
- Book "Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG)" with PSI, the FAA's testing provider, at a center near you.
- On test day, bring your photo ID. You will get the testing supplement with the charts and weather figures.
The whole route, including what to do after you pass, is in How to get your Part 107 license.
How to prepare
- Learn the key numbers cold. 400 feet, 87 knots, 3 statute miles, 500 feet below and 2,000 feet from clouds, 10 days to report an accident. The Part 107 cheat sheet lists them with sources.
- Practice on the real figures. Airspace and weather questions are where most people lose points.
- Take timed mock exams. 60 questions in 2 hours, weighted like the real test, until you score comfortably above 70%.
- Review every miss. Read why the right answer is right, with its source, then try the question again a day later.
