Free FAA Part 107 Drone Practice Test
This is a free FAA Part 107 practice test — 60 questions in the same format as the real UAG remote pilot knowledge test, scored against the 70% pass mark. It is written against the rules as they stand now, which matters more for Part 107 than for any other FAA test: night operations no longer need a waiver, Remote ID has been mandatory since March 2024, and recurrency is free online training rather than a second exam. Plenty of drone study material still teaches the old versions. No signup, no paywall.
ACS-aligned study questions written by ATIS Alerts — not actual FAA test questions.

Sample Part 107 Drone practice test questions
A few examples of the 67 ACS-aligned questions in this bank — correct answer marked.
A remote pilot plans to fly near an airport with a control tower inside Class D airspace. Before flying, the pilot must —
- A. remain below 200 feet AGL.
- B. call the tower on the telephone and give notice.
- C. monitor the tower frequency during the flight.
- D. obtain authorization from ATC, typically through LAANC or FAADroneZone. ✓
Authorization must be obtained BEFORE the flight — monitoring the frequency or phoning the tower is not a substitute. Note that authorization is airspace permission, not a clearance, and it does not relieve you of yielding to manned aircraft.
Reference: 14 CFR 107.41
Before each flight, the remote pilot in command must —
- A. complete a written maintenance log entry.
- B. inspect the aircraft to ensure it is in a condition for safe operation. ✓
- C. have a certificated mechanic sign off the aircraft.
- D. test-fly the aircraft for at least five minutes.
107.49 puts a preflight assessment squarely on the remote PIC: aircraft condition, control links, battery state, the operating environment, and briefing anyone involved. No mechanic sign-off exists in part 107.
Reference: 14 CFR 107.49
To operate a small unmanned aircraft at night under part 107, the aircraft must have —
- A. a strobe visible for at least 1 statute mile.
- B. position lights only.
- C. a lighted beacon and an operable transponder.
- D. lighted anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles, with a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision. ✓
Anti-collision lighting visible for 3 statute miles. The remote pilot may reduce its intensity if operating conditions make that safer, but may never turn it off. Night operations have needed no waiver since April 2021.
Reference: 14 CFR 107.29
What is the minimum age to be issued a remote pilot certificate with a small UAS rating?
- A. 16 years old. ✓
- B. 17 years old.
- C. 18 years old.
- D. 14 years old.
You must be at least 16 to hold the certificate. The FAA testing matrix allows the UAG knowledge test to be taken at 14, so a younger applicant can pass the test and wait — but the certificate itself is not issued before 16.
Reference: 14 CFR 107.61
A remote pilot certificate must be —
- A. displayed on the control station during flight.
- B. carried by the visual observer.
- C. renewed in person at a Flight Standards District Office.
- D. available for presentation on request by the FAA, NTSB, TSA, or a law enforcement officer. ✓
It must be available for presentation, not physically pinned to anything. The same rule covers the aircraft registration, which is why most remote pilots keep digital copies on a phone.
Reference: 14 CFR 107.7
About the Part 107 Drone written test
The Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (Part 107) knowledge test (UAG) is 60 multiple-choice questions with a time limit of 2 hours, administered by PSI at approved testing centers. You need 70% — 42 of 60— to pass, and the questions are drawn from the FAA Airman Certification Standards. Bring a valid photo ID and your instructor’s endorsement (or an approved equivalent), and plan to keep your test report — you’ll review any missed areas with your instructor before the practical test. Knowledge test results are valid for 24 calendar months.
From study to the real sky
Part 107 tests weather because a small drone feels every bit of it. Watch real conditions at your nearest airport:

Free FAA Part 107 Drone practice test FAQ
How many questions are on the FAA Part 107 test?
60 multiple-choice questions with a 2-hour limit. You need 70% — 42 correct — to pass. The official FAA test code is UAG, "Unmanned Aircraft General – Small".
How much does the Part 107 test cost?
The knowledge test itself is taken at a PSI testing center for a fee (about $175 at the time of writing). This practice test is free. After passing you apply through IACRA and complete TSA vetting.
Can I fly a drone at night under Part 107?
Yes, and without a waiver since April 2021. The aircraft needs anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles, and the remote pilot must have taken the knowledge test or completed the updated recurrent training on or after 6 April 2021.
Do I need Remote ID?
Yes. Since March 2024 you must fly a standard Remote ID aircraft, attach an FAA-accepted broadcast module, or operate only within an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA).
How do I renew my Part 107 certificate?
Complete the free online recurrent training every 24 calendar months through the FAA Safety Team site. The old paid recurrent knowledge test no longer exists — the certificate itself does not expire, only your currency lapses.
What is the maximum altitude for a Part 107 drone?
400 feet AGL, with one exception: within a 400-foot radius of a structure you may fly up to 400 feet above that structure's uppermost limit.
Do I need permission to fly in controlled airspace?
Yes. Class B, C, D and the surface area of Class E all require prior ATC authorization, usually granted in seconds through LAANC. Class G requires no authorization.
