About this book
The FAA Part 107 knowledge test is the gateway to flying drones commercially in the United States, and it assumes you can read aviation charts and decode weather reports that most drone pilots have never seen before.
This study guide teaches the entire test from the ground up, assuming no aviation background. Sectional charts, airspace classes, METARs and TAFs, loading and performance, regulations, and operating rules are each explained in plain language and reinforced with practice questions in the FAA's format.

- New commercial drone pilots taking the initial Part 107 test

Common questions
How hard is the FAA Part 107 test?

Does the guide cover sectional charts?
Yes, in depth. Chart reading and airspace identification make up a large share of the test, so the guide walks through real chart examples symbol by symbol.
Is this guide current for 2026?
Yes. It is the 2026-2027 edition and reflects current Part 107 rules, including night operations and operations over people.
