FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate How to prepare

How to Prepare for FAA Part 107

FAA Part 107 preparation works best when every topic is tied to a flight decision. The question is usually not “what is this term?” but “what should the remote pilot do with this information?”

Use FAA Language First

Study with FAA terminology: remote pilot, small unmanned aircraft, sUAS, airspace, NOTAM, METAR, TAF, and aeronautical decision making. Clean terminology prevents confusion when answer choices use formal wording.

Practice Chart and Airspace Reasoning

Do not treat sectional charts as memorized symbols only. Ask what the chart tells the pilot about airspace, airports, obstacles, terrain, restrictions, and the need for additional planning.

Connect Weather to Flight Decisions

Weather study should end with a go/no-go or risk decision. Wind, clouds, visibility, temperature, and density altitude affect aircraft control, performance, and whether the operation remains safe.

Review Operations as a Workflow

Think through a flight from planning to post-flight: check location, airspace, NOTAMs, weather, aircraft condition, crew roles, visual line of sight, emergency plans, and record awareness.

Turn Misses Into Categories

When a question is missed, classify it as regulations, airspace, chart reading, weather, METAR, TAF, loading, performance, airport operations, ADM, emergency procedures, navigation, or NOTAM awareness. Review the category before retesting.

Verify Current FAA Details

Use FAA references for current rules and testing details. Avoid relying on practice-set equivalence claims or local practice inventory as a substitute for FAA guidance.
