FAA Part 107 preparation

FAA Part 107 question types and practice

Part 107 questions ask you to select the best answer from multiple choices. Preparation involves more than recalling facts: you also need to read the conditions in a question and use any figure it references.

Direct knowledge questions

Some questions test a rule, definition or relationship directly. Read the whole question before choosing. A familiar phrase in an option does not make that option correct. In practice, explain why the other choices do not answer the question.

Applying knowledge to a situation

Other questions describe circumstances that affect the decision. Identify which details matter, then connect them to the relevant knowledge. Avoid adding assumptions that the question does not state.

When reviewing a mistake, separate misunderstanding the topic from overlooking a condition. Those problems call for different preparation: revisiting the lesson in the first case, or practising more careful reading in the second.

Charts, figures and interpretation

The FAA’s published sample set includes questions referring to charts, airport information, weather reports and a performance figure. Its examples use three answer choices. Locate the named figure and area before interpreting it, and check the units and height reference used by the question.

The published sample is dated 2021. It is useful for seeing question styles, but its introductory question-count wording should be read alongside the current UAG bulletin. Neither those samples nor our practice questions are the FAA’s active exam bank.

Try questions with explanations

Our free 20-question practice test lets you submit an answer and read feedback. In the full course, the Question Bank supports searches, topic filters and bookmarks. Review the reasoning after each answer, then revisit the lesson when the underlying concept is unclear.

Use a timed mock after working across the topics. Repeatedly scoring well on the same memorised questions gives less useful feedback than explaining an unfamiliar example correctly.
