Homeβ€ΊFree Toolsβ€Ί14-Day Study Plan
Updated for the Oct 27 format

Pass Part 107 in 14 Days

A realistic two-week plan β€” roughly 45–60 minutes a day. Week one builds regulations and airspace; week two adds weather, performance, and operations, then locks it in with full reviews. Each day tells you what to focus on, where to learn it free, and the exact tool to practice with. Print it, stick it on the fridge, check off the boxes.

πŸ“š Where to actually learn each day's topic

This plan tells you what to study each day. To learn the material itself β€” free β€” 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.

πŸ“• FAA Remote Pilot Study Guide πŸ“— Pilot's Handbook (weather & airspace) πŸ—ΊοΈ Chart Users' Guide (sectionals) πŸ“‹ ACS β€” what's tested πŸ”— All free FAA resources

Prefer it all taught step-by-step instead of self-assembling from PDFs? The $39.99 app turns this plan into 22 guided lessons with the reading built in.

Week 1 Rules & Airspace

The biggest, most-tested half of the exam. Get the numbers and the airspace cold.

1
Day
Get oriented + the basics of Part 107
Regulations
  • Read what changes on October 27 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 β€” don't worry about the score.
πŸ“… Oct 27 Update 🎯 Daily Quiz
2
Day
The numbers that win points
Regulations Β· 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.
πŸ“– 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.
πŸ“– ACS Explainer
4
Day
Airspace classes from the ground up
Airspace
  • Learn Class B, C, D, E, and G β€” 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.
πŸ—ΊοΈ Chart Decoder
5
Day
Read the sectional like the new test wants
Airspace Β· 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.
πŸ—ΊοΈ Chart Decoder
6
Day
Authorization: LAANC vs. DroneZone
Airspace Β· Operations
  • Kill the "5-mile rule" myth β€” airspace class decides, not distance.
  • LAANC for near-instant grid authorization; DroneZone for further coordination.
  • Run three real spots through the LAANC Required? tool.
βœ… 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 β€” consistency beats cramming.
πŸ“Š Readiness Scorecard

Week 2 Weather, Performance & Ops

Round out the remaining areas, then drill the whole thing under test-like conditions.

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.
πŸ“‘ TAF Decoder
10
Day
Weather hazards
Weather
  • Thunderstorms: never fly near them β€” gust fronts, microbursts, severe turbulence.
  • Wind shear, fog formation, and icing basics.
πŸ“– 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.
πŸ“– 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 Β· 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 β€” no supplement, just like Oct 27.
πŸ—ΊοΈ Chart Decoder
14
Day
Full review + book the test
Review Β· Test prep
  • Retake the Readiness Scorecard β€” 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.
