UAG KNOWLEDGE TEST

What is on the FAA Part 107 test?

Understand the FAA Part 107 UAG knowledge test, the knowledge areas you need to study, and how test preparation fits into the Remote Pilot Certificate process.

Quick answer

The initial Part 107 exam is the FAA Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG) aeronautical knowledge test. Preparation should cover the regulations, airspace, weather, loading and performance, emergency procedures, crew resource management, radio procedures, airport operations, maintenance, and other FAA knowledge areas that affect safe small-UAS operations.

The initial exam is called the UAG knowledge test

First-time Part 107 applicants must pass the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft General – Small initial aeronautical knowledge test. The test is one part of the certification process; passing it does not by itself issue the Remote Pilot Certificate.

Study the rule and the operating decisions behind it

Part 107 preparation is broader than memorizing isolated rules. A remote pilot must be able to apply airspace, weather, aircraft-performance, airport, emergency, human-factors, and operating-rule knowledge to real flight decisions.

DroneEverything Part 107 Prep organizes those knowledge areas into structured sections, visual study material, practice questions, scored checks, progress tracking, and final-exam preparation inside the protected app.

Use current FAA material as the authority

Rules, testing references, and FAA guidance can change. Use current FAA publications and certification pages as the controlling source, and treat third-party test preparation as a study aid rather than a replacement for FAA requirements.
