Part 107 Test Day: What to Bring
Required ID, address proof, calculator rules, prohibited items, and how the new embedded-image questions appear — sourced from the PSI applicant bulletin.
The PSI Applicant Information Bulletin for the UAG test is unusually specific about test-day logistics — more than most study sites quote. Here’s what it actually says, start to finish (UAG_Information_Bulletin.pdf, pp. 2–5).
Arrive 15 minutes early
PSI recommends arriving at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment, to allow time for check-in and identification verification. Arrive after your start time and you may not be admitted — and may forfeit your registration fee.
Required identification
All applicants must present valid, current identification showing a photo, date of birth, signature, and physical residential address. For U.S. citizens and resident aliens, acceptable forms include a state/territory driver’s license or permit, a U.S. government or military ID card, a passport, or an alien residency card. Non-U.S. citizens need a passport plus either a U.S. driver’s license/permit or a government-issued ID card.
If your ID doesn’t show your current residential address, you can use a parent’s permanent address instead, or provide a separate address-verification document — anything from a signed lease or mortgage statement to a voter registration card, vehicle title/registration, or a public utility (not cable) statement. A handful of FAA-specific forms (e.g., FAA Form 8060-1, 8710-1) also qualify if signed by an FAA Aviation Safety Inspector. Showing up without any of this counts as a missed appointment.
What the test center provides — and what you can bring
The test center supplies the required testing supplement book, scratch paper, and a writing instrument. You are not permitted to bring your own pen or pencil. You are allowed to bring your own scales, straightedges, protractors, plotters, navigation computers, blank logsheets, holding-pattern entry aids, a standard non-electronic magnifying glass, and a calculator — if it’s directly related to the test.
Calculators: PSI’s testing software has a built-in four-function calculator. If you bring your own, it must perform only basic arithmetic (add, subtract, multiply, divide) with no permanent memory storage — you’ll be asked to reset it in front of the proctor before and after the test, and any printouts it produces must be surrendered afterward.
What’s prohibited
Watches and phones are both prohibited, along with any other timekeeping device — the testing room has its own clock. The full prohibited list also covers recording devices, cameras, pagers, purses, notebooks, reference material, music players, radios, electronic games, briefcases, backpacks, wallets, your own pens/pencils, food, drinks, and hats or hooded clothing (religious apparel excepted). You’ll be asked to empty your pockets at check-in.
How the new image-based questions appear
As of the FAA’s October 2026 Graphics Conversion Project rollout, Unmanned Aircraft test questions can embed images directly in the question on screen, rather than referencing a printed figure in the supplement book. The testing supplement itself is still issued at test centers — the FAA has not announced a removal date, and says candidates will keep access to it “until the removal,” with ample advance notice before any change (August_2026_ATCA.pdf, p. 5). See the 2026-10-26 chart test change for what this means for sectional-chart questions specifically.
