About

Commercial drone flights in the United States require a Remote Pilot certificate under 14 CFR Part 107, which starts with the FAA’s Unmanned Aircraft General knowledge test. The FAA publishes only sample questions for this test, not a question bank.

Part 107 Prep therefore uses the FAA’s samples plus several hundred questions written for the app, each checked against and cited to FAA sources. Its tools cover the parts of the test that are hardest to learn from text alone: sectional charts, airspace, and weather reports. The sectional chart excerpts in the app are for training only, not for navigation.
