Everything the FAA Part 107 test covers, organized the way the exam is — five areas of operation. Use this as your map: read each area, hit the free tool that drills it, and check the must-know facts before test day. Built for the new October 27, 2026 format where you read the chart figures yourself.
The Part 107 knowledge test (officially the Unmanned Aircraft General, or UAG) pulls every one of its 60 questions from the five areas below. Regulations and airspace carry the most weight and trip up the most people — so spend extra time there. Work top to bottom, drill questions as you go, and you'll walk in ready.
The biggest, most heavily tested foundation. Know what Part 107 covers (drones 0.55–55 lb flown for any non-recreational purpose), how to earn and keep the certificate, the core operating rules and numbers, when you need a waiver or airspace authorization, Remote ID, registration, and the accident-reporting rule.
The make-or-break area — and the one the 2026 format leans into hardest. Learn the airspace classes, which require authorization, and how to read a VFR sectional chart cold: airport colors, the rings that define airspace, and the stacked numbers that give floors and ceilings in MSL.
Reading the sky and the reports. Understand stability and fronts, decode METARs and TAFs field by field, and know how wind and density altitude cut into performance — plus the cloud-clearance and visibility minimums you can't legally break.
How weight and balance change the way your aircraft flies. Know why center of gravity drives control, why you respect the manufacturer's maximum weight (not just the 55 lb limit), and how cold and altitude quietly steal the power you thought you had.
The judgment half of flying. Crew roles and communication, fitness for flight, the alcohol and drug rules, aeronautical decision-making and the hazardous attitudes, plus preflight, maintenance, and how to handle an in-flight emergency.
The full app turns this outline into 22 read-along lessons across all five areas — each with key facts, verified free FAA resources, and a topic drill — plus 800 explained questions and a no-supplement exam simulator for the Oct 27 format. One-time $39.99, no subscription, 7-day money-back guarantee.
Five areas: regulations, airspace and charts, weather, loading and performance, and operations. Airspace and chart reading are the most challenging for most people — and the most important under the 2026 format.
Learn each area in order, drill practice questions until you're consistently above 80%, and put extra time into airspace and sectional-chart reading. A 14-day plan keeps you on track.
Most people are ready in two to four weeks at about 45–60 minutes a day. Use the Readiness Scorecard to know when you're there.
