Part 107 Study Guide

The FAA tests 12 knowledge areas, defined in the Part 107 Airman Certification Standards (ACS, FAA-S-ACS-10B) and taught in the free official Remote Pilot – sUAS Study Guide (FAA-G-8082-22). This guide walks all 12 areas. Each one already links to live practice questions so you can study actively instead of just reading.

Emergency Procedures

25 practice questions are live now:

• During a flyaway, the aircraft stops responding to control inputs and continues away from the operating area. What should the remote PIC do first?
• Why must lost-link and return-to-home settings be confirmed before takeoff rather than after a link failure occurs?
• If GPS positioning is lost in flight and the aircraft reverts to an attitude-style mode without position holding, what change should the remote PIC expect?
• A low-battery warning appears while the aircraft is still over the work area with useful pictures left to take. What is the correct response?

Crew Resource Management

18 practice questions are live now:

• What is the main purpose of a preflight crew briefing for a Part 107 operation?
• The remote PIC becomes overloaded by radio calls, a gusty wind, and a camera problem at the same time. Applying good workload management, what comes first?
• Which set of signs suggests a crew member is losing situational awareness?
• When the person manipulating the controls hands the aircraft to another qualified operator, how should the exchange be done?

Determining the Performance of an sUAS

25 practice questions are live now:

• What is the primary source for determining the expected performance of a specific sUAS?
• Density altitude becomes higher, and air becomes effectively thinner, under which conditions?
• How does a high density altitude affect a multirotor's climb and hover performance?
• You plan to fly at a high-elevation site on a very hot afternoon. What performance adjustment should you make?

Physiological Factors

20 practice questions are live now:

• In the IMSAFE self-check, what does the 'I' prompt the pilot to honestly assess?
• In the IMSAFE self-check, what does the 'M' require a pilot to consider before flying?
• In the IMSAFE self-check, what does the 'S' stand for, and why does it matter?
• From a physiological standpoint, how does alcohol affect a person who intends to operate an aircraft?

Aeronautical Decision-Making and Judgment

22 practice questions are live now:

• In the DECIDE model of decision-making, what does the first step, Detect, require the pilot to do?
• In the DECIDE model, after detecting a change, the pilot Estimates. What does that step involve?
• In the DECIDE model, what happens between Identifying possible actions and Doing one of them?
• Why does the DECIDE model end with Evaluate rather than stopping after the chosen action is carried out?

• During a preflight inspection you find a small nick and a hairline crack near the hub of one propeller. What is the correct action?
• What should a careful inspection of the airframe and arms look for before flight?
• When you rotate a motor by hand during preflight, it feels gritty and makes a scraping sound unlike the other motors. What should you do?
