FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Knowledge Test: questions, passing score and what it covers

The FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Knowledge Test is a multiple-choice test. Remote Pilot, small UAS (Part 107): UAG — 60 questions, up to two hours. Each question maps to an Airman Certification Standards (ACS) task code, which your knowledge test report lists for every area you missed.

How many questions are on the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Knowledge Test, and what is the passing score?

Remote Pilot, small UAS (Part 107): UAG — 60 questions, up to two hours. These figures come from the knowledge test tables in the FAA Airman Certification Standards for each certificate.

What does the test cover?

It covers the knowledge elements in the FAA-S-ACS-10B Airman Certification Standards: 17 tasks across the areas of operation listed on this page.

What do the codes on my knowledge test report mean?

Each code names the ACS area, task and element you missed, for example PA.I.F.K1. Look the code up in the ACS, study that element, and practice it before your practical test.

How long is a passing knowledge test score valid?

A passing score is valid for 24 calendar months for use in completing the practical test. Check the FAA or your testing center for current rules and fees.

Areas of operation on the test

Remote Pilot — Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (FAA-S-ACS-10B)

• Area I: Regulations (6 tasks)
• Area II: Airspace Classification and Operating Requirements (2 tasks)
• Area III: Weather (2 tasks)
• Area IV: Loading and Performance (1 tasks)
• Area V: Operations (6 tasks)

Browse every task code in the ACS Code Directory, read how the ACS works, or see retakes, endorsements and how long a score lasts.

How do I prepare?

1. Take a diagnostic practice test to see which ACS areas you miss.
2. Study each missed element in the FAA source it cites.
3. Drill those elements with practice questions and read every explanation.
4. Retest, and review the report again before your practical test.
