Updated for the new format

Pass Part 107 in 14 Days

A realistic two-week plan — roughly 45–60 minutes a day — that walks you from day one to genuinely exam-ready. Week one gets regulations and airspace down cold; week two adds weather, performance, and operations, then locks it all in with full reviews. Every day you'll know exactly what to focus on, where to learn it free, and which tool builds the confidence that topic calls for. Print it, put it on the fridge, and check off the boxes as your readiness grows.

📚 Where to actually learn each day's topic

This plan tells you what to study each day. To learn the material itself — free — pair it with the official FAA sources below. The Remote Pilot Study Guide is your main read; reach for the others when a topic needs more depth.

📕 FAA Remote Pilot Study Guide 📗 Pilot's Handbook (weather & airspace) 🗺️ Chart Users' Guide (sectionals) 📋 ACS — what's tested 🔗 All free FAA resources

Rather have it all taught step-by-step than piece it together from PDFs yourself? The $39.99 app turns this plan into 22 guided lessons that show you why each right answer is right, with the reading built in.

Week 1 Rules & Airspace

The biggest, most-tested half of the exam. Get the numbers and the airspace cold now, and everything after this feels easier.

1
Day
Get oriented + the basics of Part 107
Regulations
  • Read what changed in the new format and why chart reading now matters more.
  • Learn what Part 107 covers: small UAS under 55 lb, registration at 0.55 lb (250 g).
  • Take one Daily Quiz to set a baseline — don't worry about the score.
📅 Oct 27 Update 🎯 Daily Quiz
2
Day
The numbers that win points
Regulations · Operating rules
  • Memorize: 400 ft AGL, 100 mph (87 kt), 3 SM visibility, 500-below/2,000-horizontal cloud clearance.
  • Visual line of sight, one aircraft per remote pilot, no careless/reckless ops.
  • Drill these with the ACS Code Explainer entry UA.I.B.
📖 ACS Explainer
3
Day
Certification, currency, waivers & Remote ID
Regulations
  • Currency = free online recurrent training every 24 calendar months.
  • Know what needs a waiver (BVLOS, ops over people categories) vs. what's allowed by rule.
  • Remote ID: standard broadcast, broadcast module, or fly in a FRIA.
📖 ACS Explainer
4
Day
Airspace classes from the ground up
Airspace
  • Learn Class B, C, D, E, and G — what each is and how it's drawn.
  • Controlled to the surface (B/C/D + dashed-magenta E) needs authorization; G doesn't.
  • Tap through every airspace card in the Chart Decoder.

5
Day
Read the sectional like the new test wants
Airspace · Chart reading
  • Blue vs. magenta airports; dashed magenta = Class E to the surface.
  • Decode the numbers: airspace floors/ceilings (MSL), tower heights (MSL/AGL), CTAF.
  • Score 5/5 on the Chart Decoder self-check before moving on.

6
Day
Authorization: LAANC vs. DroneZone
Airspace · Operations
  • Kill the "5-mile rule" myth — airspace class decides, not distance.
  • LAANC for near-instant grid authorization; DroneZone for further coordination.
  • Run three real spots through the LAANC Required? tool.
✅ LAANC Required?
7
Day
Week 1 review + first readiness check
Review
  • Re-quiz on regulations and airspace; re-read anything shaky.
  • Take the 20-question Readiness Scorecard and note your weakest area.
  • Rest day if you're ahead — consistency beats cramming.
📊 Readiness Scorecard

Week 2 Weather, Performance & Ops

Round out the remaining areas, then drill everything under test-like conditions until exam day feels familiar.

8
Day
Weather sources & reading a METAR
Weather
  • METAR = current conditions. Decode wind, visibility, sky/ceiling, temp/dewpoint, altimeter.
  • Run all four sample METARs through the decoder and predict the verdict first.
🌤️ METAR Decoder
9
Day
Forecasts (TAF) & weather's effect on performance
Weather
  • TAF = forecast. Read FM / BECMG / TEMPO / PROB change groups.
  • Stable vs. unstable air; temperature/dewpoint and fog.
📡 TAF Decoder
10
Day
Weather hazards
Weather
  • Thunderstorms: never fly near them — gust fronts, microbursts, severe turbulence.
  • Wind shear, fog formation, and icing basics.
📖 ACS Explainer
11
Day
Loading & performance
Loading & Performance
  • Added weight reduces performance and endurance; balance/CG affects control.
  • High density altitude (hot/high/humid) degrades performance.
📖 ACS Explainer
12
Day
Operations: comms, airport, ADM & physiology
Operations
  • CTAF/self-announce, traffic patterns, always yield to manned aircraft.
  • Hazardous attitudes & antidotes; alcohol rules (8 hrs / 0.04% BAC).
  • Night ops allowed with anti-collision lighting visible for 3 SM.
🎯 Daily Quiz
13
Day
Emergencies, maintenance & chart-reading drills
Operations · Chart reading
  • Lost-link/flyaway planning, lithium battery safety, remote PIC emergency authority.
  • Operations over people categories 1–4 and over moving vehicles.
  • Do timed chart-reading reps — no supplement, just like the real test now.

14
Day
Full review + book the test
Review · Test prep
  • Retake the Readiness Scorecard — aim well above the line in every area.
  • Skim the Test Day Checklist so nothing surprises you at the testing center.
  • Confident across all five areas? Schedule your exam at a PSI testing center.
