Walk into the testing center knowing exactly what's coming. This guide lays out everything the FAA Part 107 exam covers, organized the way the exam itself is — into five areas of operation. Use it as your training map: study each area, sharpen it with the free tool built for it, and lock in the must-know facts before test day. It's built for the exam's new format, where charts are embedded right in the questions and you read the figures yourself — so nothing on test day catches you off guard.
Every one of the 60 questions on the Part 107 knowledge test (officially the Unmanned Aircraft General, or UAG) is drawn from the five areas below. Regulations and airspace carry the most weight and trip up the most people — so that's where your extra reps pay off most. Work through them top to bottom, drill as you go, and you'll trade test-day nerves for quiet confidence.
This is the foundation the whole certificate rests on — and the most heavily tested area, so master it first. You'll learn 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, so give it the time it deserves. You'll learn the airspace classes and which of them require authorization, and you'll come away able 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.
Learn to read both the sky and the reports with confidence. You'll 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.
Understand how weight and balance change the way your aircraft flies. You'll learn 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.
This is the judgment half of flying — the decisions that keep every flight safe. You'll cover 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 walks you through everything above, step by step — 22 read-along lessons across all five areas, each with the key facts, verified free FAA resources, and a topic drill to make it stick. You won't just memorize answers; you'll learn why they're right, backed by 800 explained questions and a no-supplement exam simulator built for the new format. One-time $39.99, no subscription, and a 7-day money-back guarantee so you can train with zero risk.
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.
