This unofficial Part 107 practice test holds 330 original questions for the FAA remote pilot knowledge test, the exam behind drone pilot certification. Each question was written from 14 CFR part 107, 89 or 48 or from an FAA publication, and names its section. The bank was checked on September 19, 2026. Under the question, choose one of 12 topics or Exam mode, a 60-question, 2-hour exam.
Read the full guide
How the 12 topics map to the FAA's outline
The FAA's standards, FAA-S-ACS-10B, weight the test by subject area: regulations 15 to 25 percent, airspace 15 to 25, weather 11 to 16, loading and performance 7 to 11, operations 35 to 45. Counted by the 12 topics here, the bank sits inside each range: 81 regulations, 53 airspace, 39 weather, 24 loading and performance, 133 operations.
What exam mode copies from the real test
On All topics, Exam mode draws 60 questions and marks you against 70 percent, which is 42 right. The 2-hour clock starts when you press Start the exam, and no feedback shows until you finish or time runs out. Then you get a score, a by-topic table that marks your weakest topic, and every miss with its source. The draw is random, not weighted by subject area, so a topic gets about five questions and that mark is only a hint.
The figures book this page cannot show you
The proctor provides a supplement book, which the FAA posts as FAA-CT-8080-2H at faa.gov/training_testing/testing/supplements. Its contents page lists a chart legend, METAR and TAF figures and sectional chart excerpts. This tool shows no images, so chart questions describe a symbol in words, which teaches the decoding but not the hunt across a crowded chart. Open the FAA's Aeronautical Chart Users' Guide (faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/aero_guide) beside a sectional chart of your area.
Start with operating rules. The section 107.51 limits (400 feet above ground, 100 miles per hour, 3 miles of visibility, 500 feet below and 2,000 feet beside clouds) return in scenarios across other topics.
Decode every METAR in the same order: station, time, wind, visibility, weather, sky, temperature and dew point, altimeter. The ceiling is the lowest broken or overcast layer, or the vertical visibility.
Chart heights come in pairs: the upper figure is feet above mean sea level, and the one in parentheses is feet above ground, the one Part 107 limits use.
After a miss, open the source link under the explanation. Rule questions often turn on one phrase, such as "sustained flight" in the over-people rules. Handbook links are large PDFs, so use wifi.
Questions and answers
Is the Part 107 test hard?
That depends on what you already know. The test reaches past drone rules into airspace classes, weather reports, chart symbols, loading and crew decision-making. This page has no pass-rate figure and does not guess at one.
What is the Part 107 passing score, and how many questions?
The FAA's standards, FAA-S-ACS-10B Appendix 1, give 60 multiple-choice questions, up to 2 hours, and 70 percent to pass. That is 42 correct, so you can miss 18. After a failed attempt, 14 CFR 107.71 sets a wait of 14 calendar days. Appendix 3 keeps a passing test report valid for 24 calendar months. Figures read September 19, 2026.
What do I bring to the Part 107 test?
FAA-S-ACS-10B Appendix 1 asks for identification with your photograph, signature and date of birth, plus a residential address if your mailing address is a post office box. Registering takes an FAA Tracking Number from an IACRA account. Under Appendix 2 the proctor provides the supplement book, and the center may provide a calculator or refuse your own.
Is there a Part 107 practice test PDF?
Not a fixed file, which would go stale when a rule changes. After a round, Print lists its questions, to trim or add to, and a tick prints the matching answer key. Your browser's print window can save either as a PDF.
Are these the real Part 107 test questions and answers?
No. Every question is original, and nothing is copied from the FAA knowledge test, its figures book or a prep company. Rule questions follow the eCFR text of 14 CFR part 107 dated September 15, 2026. The FAA's study guide, dated August 2016, is still the edition it posts, and no question on the rules changed in 2021 (night flight, flight over people, remote identification) rests on it.
Do I have to retake the Part 107 test every two years?
No. Under 14 CFR 107.65, a certificate holder stays current by completing recurrent training within the previous 24 calendar months. The FAA's own page, faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilot, updated June 9, 2026, lists that training as an online course at no cost. The first test is taken by appointment at a knowledge testing center.
