For drone pilots operating commercially in the United States, passing the Part 107 test is a crucial step. This test, officially known as the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate exam, assesses a drone operator's knowledge of FAA regulations, airspace classifications, weather effects, and more.
Studying is key to passing the Part 107 test. The FAA provides resources such as the Remote Pilot – Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Study Guide. Online courses and practice tests are also available to help you prepare effectively.
The Part 107 test consists of 60 multiple-choice questions and must be completed within 2 hours. A passing score is 70% or higher. Be sure to bring proper identification to the testing center on exam day.
Once you pass the Part 107 test, you will receive your Remote Pilot Certificate. Remember to comply with all Part 107 regulations when operating your drone commercially, including maintaining your certificate and following airspace rules.
