Original preparation guidance grounded in current FAA materials. Regulations and provider instructions can change; verify dated facts before acting.

Start here

FAA Part 107 knowledge test: a practical first look

Understand the UAG test, the certification path, and what to verify before scheduling.

Certification

From FTN to Remote Pilot Certificate

A clean sequence for first-time applicants, from IACRA to the permanent certificate.

Airspace

Read airspace before you read the sky

Connect chart symbols, controlled airspace and authorization decisions to a real mission.

Weather

Translate weather reports into a go/no-go decision

Use METARs, TAFs and local observations to reason about small-UAS performance and risk.

Aircraft

Loading and performance without guesswork

Reason about weight, center of gravity, density altitude and battery margin as one system.

Operations

Operate near airports without losing the bigger picture

Build traffic awareness, communication judgment and disciplined scanning near aviation activity.

Risk management

Aeronautical decision-making for drone pilots

Turn checklists and risk models into decisions you can explain before and during a flight.

Risk management

Plan abnormal events before they become emergencies

Prepare simple responses for lost link, flyaway, battery, traffic and people entering the area.

Operations

Night operations: train your eyes and your plan

Review recurrent-training, lighting and visual-perception considerations for operations at night.

Regulations

Remote ID belongs in mission planning

Distinguish aircraft capability, broadcast-module use and FAA-recognized identification areas.

Aircraft

A preflight that catches small failures early

Build a repeatable inspection around configuration, structure, energy, controls and the site.

Certification

Keep Part 107 aeronautical knowledge current

Understand the 24-calendar-month recurrent-training requirement without confusing it with certificate expiration.

Study method

A four-week Part 107 study plan

Move from the ACS to applied questions, mixed practice and a calm final review.

Test day

Test-day execution for the UAG exam

Protect time, attention and decision quality from check-in through the final review.
