What is the FAA Part 107 exam?
The Remote Pilot knowledge exam is what you must pass to fly a drone commercially in the United States. Any flight for business purposes — photography, inspection, surveying, real estate, delivery — requires a Part 107 certificate. Recreational flying falls under different rules.
The real exam is 60 multiple-choice questions taken at an FAA-approved testing centre, and you need 42 correct, or 70%, to pass. You get two hours, which is generous; almost nobody runs out of time.
What this practice test covers
- Regulations and Certification — weight and speed limits, altitude, recurrent training, accident reporting.
- Airspace and Charts — classes B through G, sectional chart symbols, LAANC, NOTAMs and TFRs.
- Weather and Performance — METARs and TAFs, density altitude, dew point, wind hazards.
- Operations and Safety — preflight, flight over people, alcohol rules, right of way, crew resource management.
Airspace is where people fail
If you fail Part 107, it is most likely airspace. Reading a sectional chart is a genuine skill and it is unlike anything else on the exam — you have to interpret magenta and blue lines, shaded bands and numeric ceilings, all at once. Budget more study time for charts than for everything else combined.
The good news is that it is very learnable. Get a printed sectional, pick an airport near you, and work out its airspace class, ceiling and floor from the symbols alone. Do that for a dozen airports and the exam questions become straightforward.
Weather is not as hard as it looks
METAR and TAF codes look impenetrable at first and then click all at once. The exam asks you to decode a handful of standard elements: cloud layers, visibility, wind and temperature. Learn the abbreviations and the format, and this section becomes some of the easiest marks available.
The rules that change
Part 107 has been amended several times, particularly around night operations and flight over people. Older study material may tell you night flying always requires a waiver — it no longer does, provided you have the anti-collision lighting and the required training. Check the current regulations rather than trusting an old video.
How to use your result
Your report splits your score across the four areas so you can see whether the gap is regulatory recall, chart reading, weather decoding or operational judgement. Regulations and weather are memorisation and improve fast. Airspace takes longest. Aim to clear 29 consistently before booking, which gives you real margin above the 70% bar.

70%. The real exam is 60 questions and you need 42 correct. This practice test applies the same percentage to 32 questions, so 23 is a pass and 29 or above is comfortable.
Only for commercial or business purposes. Purely recreational flying is covered by different rules, though you still need to pass the free TRUST test and follow altitude and airspace restrictions.
Your certificate does not expire, but you must complete free online recurrent training every 24 calendar months to keep your privileges current.
Yes, under current rules, provided your aircraft has anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles and you have completed the required training. This changed from earlier rules that required a waiver.
