Part 107 test topics

Area V is the largest area on the Part 107 test at 35–45% of items. It covers radio communication procedures and phraseology, airport operations including traffic patterns and runway markings, emergency procedures such as lost link and flyaways, aeronautical decision making and crew resource management, physiology (fatigue, stress, dehydration, hyperventilation, medications), maintenance and preflight inspection procedures, and night operations.

Area of Operation I is 15–25% of the 60-question Part 107 test. It covers what 14 CFR Part 107 applies to and its definitions; registration (Part 48) and Remote ID (Part 89); the remote pilot in command's responsibility and authority; operating limits — at or below 400 ft AGL, 100 mph, daylight or civil twilight with anti-collision lights, visual line of sight, no operations from a moving vehicle except in sparsely populated areas; operations over people by category; waivers; accident reporting within 10 days; and alcohol and drug rules.

Area II is 15–25% of the Part 107 test. You must classify Class A, B, C, D, E and G airspace from a sectional chart and know that sUAS need ATC authorization (LAANC or DroneZone) for Class B, C, D and surface-area Class E, while Class G is uncontrolled; recognise special-use airspace (prohibited, restricted, warning, MOA, alert, controlled firing), temporary flight restrictions, and NOTAMs.

Area III is 11–16% of the Part 107 test. It covers weather sources — METAR, TAF, forecasts — and how to read them; density altitude and its effect on performance; wind, gusts and wind shear; temperature–dew point spread and fog; fronts and thunderstorms; icing; and how each condition affects a small unmanned aircraft's ability to fly safely within Part 107 minimums.

Area IV is 7–11% of the Part 107 test. It covers weight and balance, center of gravity limits, load factor in turns, how payload placement and total weight change stability, climb performance and battery endurance, and how to use manufacturer performance data to decide whether a planned flight is within limits.
