FAA Part 107 · Remote Pilot Certificate

You already know how to fly. Now make it official.

The Part 107 test is the only thing between your drone and getting paid to fly it. We turned studying for it into a game: five areas to clear, progress bars that only go up, badges for the shelf, and a daily ten-question drill that does the remembering for you.

Free, no account needed. Ten questions a day is the whole strategy. The drill brings back what you miss right before you'd forget it.

The real test, not a lookalike

Three answer choices, 60 questions, two hours on the mock. That is the exact shape of the real UAG exam. No four-option questions training the wrong instincts.

Every answer shows its receipts

Miss one and you get the why, the rule it comes from (14 CFR 107.51(b), not 'some forum said 400 feet'), and the FAA's own ACS code for the topic.

Weak spots in the FAA's language

Fail the real test and the FAA hands you a report of ACS codes. Our mock exam hands you the same list first, so nothing on test day is a surprise.

Taking the real thing

Straight answers about the actual test, with the links you need to book it.

›Where do I actually take the test?

In person at a PSI testing center. Book a seat for the Unmanned Aircraft General (UAG) exam at faa.psiexams.com. It costs $175, and you bring a government photo ID. Many centers have seats within a week or two.

›What do I need before I can book?

An FAA Tracking Number (FTN). Create a free account at iacra.faa.gov and it assigns you one in a few minutes. PSI asks for it when you register.

›What score do I need?

70%, which is 42 of 60 questions. Unanswered questions count as wrong, so answer everything. Our mock exam scores exactly the same way.

›What happens after I pass?

Apply for the certificate on IACRA using FAA Form 8710-13. TSA runs a background check, a temporary certificate arrives by email usually within a couple of weeks, and the permanent card comes in the mail. You can fly paid work on the temporary one.

›What if I fail?

You wait 14 calendar days and pay the fee again. The FAA hands you a report listing the ACS codes you missed, and every question on this site carries those same codes, so you can study exactly what got you.

›I only fly for fun. Do I still need this?

No. Purely recreational flying needs the free online TRUST test instead. But the moment a flight benefits a business, yours or anyone else's, even unpaid, you are under Part 107 and need the certificate.

›Do I have to register my drone?

Yes. Under Part 107 every aircraft is registered, regardless of weight. It is $5 for three years at FAA DroneZone, and the registration number goes on the outside of the aircraft.

›Does the certificate expire?

The card itself never expires, but you must complete free online recurrent training every 24 calendar months at faasafety.gov to keep flying under it.
