Concise, no-fluff exam prep written by a former Air Force pilot who spent his career building training programs for F-15E squadrons.
Free FAA study materials
Everything the FAA publishes for Part 107 candidates, free to download. This is the primary source of truth for exam content. Our practice questions are derived from these materials.
The FAA main study guide for Part 107. Covers every domain on the exam. Read this first.
Task by task list of what the exam can test. Read this last to confirm you have covered every bullet.
The actual rule. Worth skimming for waivable versus non-waivable sections and for exact altitude, visibility, and speed numbers.
FAA chart legend. Keep it open while you practice any airspace or sectional question.
Public domain sample questions from the actual Unmanned Aircraft General exam. Our question bank draws from this set verbatim for the text-only items.
Scheduling and registration
Official sites for booking your exam, registering your drone, and applying for your remote pilot certificate after you pass.
Find a test center and book your Part 107 exam slot. Bring a government photo ID.
Apply for your remote pilot certificate here after you pass the exam.
Register the drone itself, request waivers under Part 107.205, and file accident reports.
Recreational pilot test. Not for Part 107 candidates, but worth knowing the difference if you also fly for fun.

Popular online retailers for drones, cameras, batteries, and accessories. All three ship within the US and carry major brands.
Specialist retailer for FPV and racing drone pilots. Best source for frames, motors, flight controllers, and ready-to-fly racing quads.
Authorized DJI dealer with a strong reputation in the drone community for good support and genuine products.
Deep inventory of camera drones, mini drones, and accessories from all major brands. Trusted by photo and video professionals.
Drone insurance
On-demand and annual liability policies. Most commercial clients will ask for proof of liability before letting you fly a paid job.
Perfect for weekend pilots who want simple, on-demand coverage through their smartphone app. Pay per flight or choose a $150/year plan.

LAANC-approved provider. Submit and receive airspace authorizations in seconds at participating facilities.

The same tools the exam is written from. Practicing with real METARs, TAFs, and sectionals is far more useful than only reading about them.
METARs, TAFs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, and PIREPs from the source. Identical to the weather data the exam tests you on.
Standard, abbreviated, and outlook briefings from Leidos Flight Service. Great practice for reading abbreviated briefing formats.
