Study Materials
Master every topic of the exam, in plain language.
Regulations: Certification, Operating Limits, and Remote Pilot Responsibilities
Regulations are the largest single block on the Part 107 knowledge test because every flight decision begins with what the rule allows. This chapter covers earning and keeping the remote pilot certificate, the limits that define a routine Part 107 flight, and the waiver, reporting, and preflight duties that surround them.
Airspace and Sectional Charts
Knowing where you are allowed to fly means being able to identify the airspace above your launch point and read it off a sectional chart. This chapter covers the airspace classes and which ones require authorization, sectional chart symbols and altitude notation, special use airspace, temporary flight restrictions, and how to stay clear of airport traffic.
Weather: Reports, Visibility Minimums, and Flight Hazards
Weather decides whether a legal flight is also a safe one, and the exam expects you to pull that decision out of coded reports rather than a phone app summary. This chapter covers decoding METAR and TAF, the Part 107 visibility and cloud clearance limits, density altitude and wind, and the specific hazards that end drone flights.
Loading and Performance
How much you hang on the aircraft, and where you hang it, changes how it flies long before it changes whether it flies at all. This chapter covers the 55-pound limit, center of gravity, the way payload eats into endurance and stability, battery behavior in heat and cold, and how to read the performance limits the manufacturer publishes.
Operations and Safety: Judgment, Physiology, and Emergencies
Most drone accidents are decision failures rather than equipment failures, which is why the FAA tests judgment as its own subject. This chapter covers crew coordination, the aeronautical decision-making process, the five hazardous attitudes and their antidotes, human physiology and vision, and how to handle emergencies, lost link, and maintenance.
