1What is the maximum altitude above ground level (AGL) that a remote pilot is allowed to operate a small unmanned aircraft under Part 107?

A.400 feet AGL

B.500 feet AGL

C.600 feet AGL

D.1,200 feet AGL

Explanation: Part 107.51(a) specifies that small unmanned aircraft may not be operated higher than 400 feet above ground level (AGL) unless certain conditions are met, such as flying within a 400-foot radius of a structure. This altitude limit helps ensure separation from manned aircraft.

2What is the minimum age requirement to obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate with a small UAS rating?

A.14 years old

B.16 years old

C.18 years old

D.21 years old

Explanation: Per Part 107.61(a)(1), an applicant for a Remote Pilot Certificate must be at least 16 years of age. This is younger than the age requirement for most other FAA pilot certificates, reflecting the lower risk profile of small UAS operations.

3Under Part 107, what is the maximum groundspeed allowed for a small unmanned aircraft?

A.80 knots

B.100 knots

C.87 knots (100 mph)

D.120 knots

Explanation: Part 107.51(b) limits the groundspeed of small unmanned aircraft to 87 knots (100 miles per hour). This speed restriction helps ensure the remote pilot has adequate time to see and avoid other aircraft and maintain control of the UAS.

4What is the minimum visibility requirement for small UAS operations under Part 107?

A.1 statute mile

B.3 statute miles

C.5 statute miles

D.10 statute miles

Explanation: Part 107.51(c) requires at least 3 statute miles of visibility from the control station. This visibility standard allows the remote pilot to adequately see and avoid other aircraft, which is critical since UAS operations generally do not have traffic separation services from air traffic control.

5How close can a small unmanned aircraft operate to a cloud under Part 107?

A.500 feet below, 1,000 feet horizontally

B.400 feet below, 2,000 feet horizontally

C.500 feet below, 2,000 feet horizontally

D.No cloud clearance requirements for UAS

Explanation: Part 107.51(d) requires small unmanned aircraft to maintain at least 500 feet below clouds and 2,000 feet horizontally from clouds. These cloud clearance requirements ensure adequate visibility for the remote pilot to maintain visual line of sight and avoid other aircraft.

6During what time period is small UAS operation permitted under Part 107 without a waiver?

A.30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset

B.Sunrise to sunset

C.Civil twilight to civil twilight

D.Daylight hours only

Explanation: Part 107.29 permits small UAS operations only during daylight hours, defined as the period between official sunrise and sunset. Operations during civil twilight (30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset) are permitted only if the aircraft has anticollision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles.

7What is the minimum distance a small unmanned aircraft must maintain from people who are not directly participating in the operation?

A.10 feet

B.25 feet

C.50 feet

D.100 feet

Explanation: Part 107.39 prohibits operating a small unmanned aircraft over people who are not directly participating in the operation, unless they are under a covered structure or inside a stationary vehicle. Additionally, operations must not occur closer than 100 feet horizontally from non-participants unless a waiver is obtained.

8A remote pilot wishes to operate a small UAS from a moving vehicle. Under what conditions is this permitted under Part 107?

A.Only in sparsely populated areas

B.Only when the vehicle is on private property

C.Never permitted under any circumstances

D.Only in sparsely populated areas and when the aircraft is not transporting property for compensation

Explanation: Part 107.25 permits operation from a moving vehicle only in sparsely populated areas. Additionally, if the operation involves transporting property for compensation or hire, operation from a moving vehicle is prohibited entirely. This restriction ensures safe operation while allowing flexibility in rural areas.

9What must a remote pilot do if they experience a deviation from Part 107 regulations due to an emergency?

A.File a report within 10 days

B.Notify the FAA within 24 hours

C.File a report with the NTSB

D.No reporting required if it was an emergency

Explanation: Part 107.21 requires that any deviation from the regulations in response to an emergency situation must be reported to the FAA upon request. While immediate self-reporting is not required, the remote pilot must be prepared to explain the circumstances and justify the deviation as necessary for safety.

10Under Part 107, how often must a small unmanned aircraft be registered with the FAA?

A.Annually

B.Every 2 years

C.Every 3 years

D.Registration is permanent

Explanation: Small unmanned aircraft registration under Part 107 expires after 3 years per Part 48.105. The remote pilot must renew the registration before expiration to continue legal operations. Registration must also be renewed if ownership of the aircraft changes.

About the FAA Part 107 Exam

The FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is required for all commercial drone operations in the United States. The initial aeronautical knowledge test covers regulations, airspace classification, weather, loading and performance, and operational procedures. The certificate is valid for 24 months, after which pilots must pass recurrent training or testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs a Part 107 certificate?

Anyone operating a small unmanned aircraft system (drone) for commercial purposes in the U.S. must hold a Remote Pilot Certificate under Part 107. This includes photographers, real estate agents, inspectors, surveyors, and any business using drones. Recreational flyers may operate under the Exception for Recreational Flyers if they follow specific guidelines, but commercial operations always require Part 107 certification.

What are the eligibility requirements for Part 107?

To obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate, you must: (1) be at least 16 years old, (2) be able to read, speak, write, and understand English, (3) be in a physical and mental condition to safely operate a drone, and (4) pass the initial aeronautical knowledge exam. There is no requirement to hold a medical certificate or have prior pilot experience.

How much does the Part 107 exam cost?

The FAA Part 107 aeronautical knowledge test costs $175. This fee is paid directly to the testing center (PSI or Pearson VUE) when you schedule your exam. There is no additional fee to receive your certificate from the FAA after passing. If you need to retake the exam, you must wait 14 days and pay the $175 fee again.

What are the operational limitations under Part 107?

Standard Part 107 operations are limited to: (1) daylight operations only (30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset), (2) maximum altitude of 400 feet AGL or within 400 feet of a structure, (3) maximum groundspeed of 100 mph (87 knots), (4) visual line of sight of the aircraft at all times, (5) no operations over people unless under a waiver or following Category 1-4 requirements, (6) no operations from a moving vehicle or aircraft. Many of these limitations can be waived through the FAA waiver process.

What is Remote ID and when is it required?

Remote ID is a system for identifying and locating drones in flight. Most drones weighing more than 0.55 lbs (250g) must have Remote ID capability as of March 16, 2024. There are three ways to comply: (1) operate a Standard Remote ID equipped drone, (2) operate with a Remote ID broadcast module attached, or (3) fly within a FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA). Remote ID transmits location, altitude, velocity, and identification information during flight.
