01What to expect
Use the current PSI bulletin for exam format and topic weighting.
60 + 5
60 scored questions plus five unscored validation questions on the actual test.
120 minutes
Time allowed for the UAG knowledge test. The practice exam offers an optional matching timer.
70%
Passing score. On 60 scored items, that is 42 correct answers.
48%
Certification, operating rules, registration, Remote ID, and special operations.
20%
Airspace classes, charts, authorizations, airports, and restrictions.
5%
Weather reports, forecasts, and conditions that change flight risk.
2%
Payload, center of gravity, density altitude, and aircraft capability.
25%
Preflight, communication, emergencies, decision-making, and maintenance.
The FAA's 2025 advisory says the ACS's former weighting table is obsolete; the subject areas remain. See the current PSI UAG bulletin ↗ and FAA advisory ↗.
02A useful study sequence
Use the guide as a route through the material, rather than a list of rules to memorize.
Step 01
Use the current PSI bulletin for question counts and content percentages. The older ACS appendix percentages have been replaced, although its knowledge and risk-management tasks remain useful.
Step 02
Start with certification, pilot responsibility, flight limits, airspace authorization, registration, Remote ID, and special operations. These rules shape many scenario questions.
Step 03
Read charts and weather, calculate altitude and loading implications, and rehearse airport, crew, preflight, and emergency choices. Use each lesson's worked scenario and self-check.
Step 04
Take the full original 60-question test. Review your answers by subject, return to weak lessons, then reattempt the set after study. Questions repeat between attempts.
03Study the subjects
Each lesson has clear learning goals, explanation, a worked scenario, common mistakes, and official references.
01 / Regulations
Eligibility, the FAA application path, knowledge test, TSA review, and keeping a remote pilot certificate current.
Read the lesson →02 / Regulations
A practical guide to remote pilot responsibility, visual line of sight, speed, altitude, weather minimums, and waivers.
Read the lesson →03 / Regulations
Learn when a drone needs registration and how standard Remote ID, modules, and FRIAs affect Part 107 flights.
Read the lesson →04 / Airspace and requirements
Read the airspace class, check restrictions, and distinguish controlled-airspace authorization from a Part 107 waiver.
Read the lesson →05 / Airspace and requirements
Work through class boundaries, altitude floors, obstacles, airports, and chart questions used in remote pilot study.
Read the lesson →06 / Weather
Decode METAR and TAF basics, then connect wind, cloud, visibility, and density altitude to a safe flight decision.
Read the lesson →07 / Loading and performance
Understand payload, center of gravity, battery reserve, wind, and density altitude before accepting a mission.
Read the lesson →08 / Airspace and requirements + Operations
Recognize airport activity, traffic patterns, CTAF communication, and what a remote pilot must do near other aircraft.
Read the lesson →09 / Operations
Build a deliberate preflight process and plan for lost link, flyaways, low battery, and incident reporting.
Read the lesson →10 / Operations
Apply risk assessment, crew resource management, and human-factors checks to drone flight decisions.
Read the lesson →11 / Regulations + Operations
Review night training, anti-collision lighting, visual limitations, and a practical night-flight briefing.
Read the lesson →12 / Regulations
Compare Part 107 categories, assemblies, moving vehicles, and aircraft eligibility before planning an overflight.
Read the lesson →Put the knowledge to work
The original set has 60 questions in the current topic proportions: 29 Regulations, 12 Airspace, three Weather, one Loading and Performance, and 15 Operations. Move at your own pace or use a 120-minute timer; saved progress, topic scores, answer explanations, and lesson links help you study what you missed.
