Printable Part 107 Practice Test

60 questions drawn from the verified bank, weighted to the current FAA specification — 48% regulations, 20% airspace, 5% weather, 2% loading and performance, 25% operations — the same proportions the real 60-question exam uses, scored at 70% (42/60) to pass. (UAG_Information_Bulletin.pdf p. 4 (PSI Unmanned Aircraft General – Small Applicant Information Bulletin, "Unmanned Aircraft General - Small Test Specifications").)

These are this site's own verified practice questions, not FAA test questions — the FAA keeps its live question pool confidential.

    • C. They broadcast only NOTAM information about runway and taxiway closures.

  45. 45. A small UA's maximum gross takeoff weight is specified by the manufacturer. According to the Remote Pilot Study Guide, which statement about this limit is correct?

    • A. Even though a maximum gross takeoff weight is specified, high elevations, high air temperatures, or high humidity may still require the remote pilot to reduce weight before flight
    • B. The aircraft can always safely take off at its maximum gross takeoff weight, regardless of elevation, temperature, or humidity
    • C. The maximum gross takeoff weight limits only the payload carried, not the aircraft's own structure and battery

  46. 46. At a non-towered airport, is two-way radio communication required before operating in the vicinity of the traffic pattern?

  49. 49. A pilot inbound to a non-towered airport broadcasts, "Town and Country traffic, Cessna 123 Bravo Foxtrot is 10 miles south inbound for landing, Town and Country traffic." Why does the broadcast state the airport name at both the beginning and the end?

    • A. So other pilots listening on the shared frequency can confirm which airport the aircraft is headed to
    • B. Because FAA regulations mandate that the airport name be stated exactly twice in every radio transmission

    • A. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), called Zulu time in aviation
    • B. The reporting station's local standard time

    • A. Any airport, heliport, or seaplane base
    • B. Towered airports only — non-towered fields are excluded from this rule
    • C. Only airports located within Class B, C, or D airspace

  60. 60. Why does the FAA study guide recommend that a pilot listen to ATIS, ASOS, or AWOS, and then monitor the tower frequency or CTAF, before operating near an airport?

    • A. To build a good idea of what traffic conditions to expect in the area
    • B. Because 14 CFR part 107 requires the remote pilot to request landing clearance from the tower
    • C. Because monitoring these frequencies grants the remote pilot ATC authorization to fly in Class D airspace

  24. 24. A — The FAA's Remote Pilot Study Guide (FAA-G-8082-22) describes the correct technique: "pilots must look from right to left or left to right... For each stop, an area approximately 30° wide should be scanned. The duration of each stop... should [not] last longer than 2 to 3 seconds," overlapping each new field of view by 10°. This stop-and-scan pattern — not a continuous sweep — is what effectively resolves other traffic, supporting the see-and-avoid duty underlying the right-of-way rule in § 107.37(a) (ACS code UA.I.B.K14a). The FAA's own published UAG sample questions pose this exact scenario with the same three answer choices.
