7-Day Plan

28 tasks

Day 1: Rules and Structure

Drill today: match each major rule topic to the ACS bucket it belongs in, then build a shorthand list you can recognize quickly in FAA questions.

Read the study guide introduction and use the ACS to see how FAA questions are grouped.
Use the ACS and source map to understand how the FAA groups and tests the knowledge areas.
Memorize the major Part 107 operating ideas and remote pilot responsibilities.
Build a working abbreviation baseline: AGL, MSL, CTAF, LAANC, NOTAM, VFR, sUAS, and other common FAA shorthand.

Day 2: Airspace and Sectional Charts

Drill today: explain airspace class, floor, ceiling, authorization impact, and chart symbol meaning before checking the answer.

Study controlled vs. uncontrolled airspace and charted surface areas.
Practice VFR chart terms, symbols, airport data, obstacle heights, and airspace floors and ceilings.
Learn prohibited, restricted, warning, MOA, and other special-use airspace.
Review NOTAMs, TFRs, LAANC, chart supplements, and flight restrictions, then explain each chart answer.

Day 3: Weather Reports and Decisions

Drill today: decode METAR/TAF strings out loud and connect winds, ceiling, visibility, and density altitude to a go/no-go decision.

Study METAR decoding, ceilings, visibility, winds, and aviation weather report basics.
Know how temperature, pressure, humidity, and density altitude affect performance.
Review wind shear, atmospheric stability, fronts, and thunderstorm hazards.
Practice decoding TAFs, forecast timing, and sample weather strings out loud.

Day 4: Loading, Performance, Emergencies

Drill today: turn each performance or emergency question into a short preflight risk statement: what changed, what risk increased, what action is safest?

Review weight, stability, load factor, and weight-and-balance effects.
Know performance effects of temperature, humidity, and density changes.
Study crew coordination, inflight emergencies, and emergency response basics.
Read maintenance and preflight inspection requirements.

Day 5: Operations and Human Factors

Drill today: rehearse airport-area awareness, CTAF/chart supplement use, human factors, hazardous attitudes, and CRM decisions as scenario questions.

Review traffic patterns, CTAF use, chart supplements, and airport environments.
Study visual illusions, night vision limits, fatigue, alcohol, medication risk, and physiology.
Memorize aeronautical decision-making, risk management, and judgment concepts.
Run a mixed quiz and flag misses by CRM and risk-management category.

Day 6: Current Rules, Figures, and Source Review

Drill today: study the newer rule areas, then practice finding answers in FAA figures, ACS task areas, and source references before the final readiness day.

Study Remote ID, night operations, operations over people, and moving-vehicle limits as current-rule test additions.
Drill FAA testing-supplement figures for chart legends, airspace shelves, MTRs, and airport data.
Use the ACS to map each weak topic into the FAA knowledge and risk-management areas.
Trace weak topics back to the FAA source list so review time goes to the right official material.

Day 7: Light Review and Test Readiness

Drill today: keep it light and high-yield: chart reading, weather decoding, Remote ID/night/current-rule review, and test-day logistics.

Review flash cards, abbreviations, and a final numbers-and-rules sprint.
Do the available FAA sample chart, airspace, and figure questions.
Do the available FAA sample weather and performance questions.
Make sure your FTN, ID, registration, Remote ID setup, and test-center logistics are ready.

FAA Part 107 Exam - Essential Facts

The FAA Part 107 knowledge test is the Unmanned Aircraft General - Small (UAG) exam. It has 60 multiple-choice questions, requires a 70% passing score (42/60 correct), costs $175 at a PSI testing center, and is taken in person with a 2-hour time limit. Minimum age is 16. No U.S. citizenship is required. After passing, you apply through IACRA (free) to receive your Remote Pilot Certificate with a Small UAS Rating.

What To Study For The FAA Part 107 Exam

The Part 107 knowledge test is not a memorization exam - it tests applied judgment. The highest-value study topics are airspace classification and sectional chart reading, aviation weather (decoding METARs and TAFs, density altitude), Part 107 regulations and operating limitations, Remote ID requirements, night operations, operations over people, and aeronautical decision-making (ADM). Questions often combine a rule with a chart figure, weather string, or operational scenario.

How This 7-Day Planner Works

The first half of the week builds foundations: regulations, airspace, charts, weather, and performance. The second half shifts to airport operations, human factors, ADM, and practice-quiz loops - so missed questions convert into targeted review rather than repeated guessing. Use the quiz at the end of your study week as a readiness check, then revisit any topic area where you scored below 70%.

Part 107 vs. TRUST: What's the Difference?

The TRUST test (The Recreational UAS Safety Test) is a free, untimed, online-only test for recreational flyers. Part 107 is the $175, in-person, 60-question exam required for any commercial or non-recreational drone operation. They serve completely different purposes - passing TRUST does not give you a Remote Pilot Certificate or permission to fly commercially.
