Drone Mastery’s FAR Part 107 Practice Exam

Welcome to your Drone Mastery's FAR Part 107 Practice Exam.

The following FAR Part 107 (Remote Pilot - sUAS) Practice Exam will randomly select 100 questions from our question bank. At this time, we do not have the capability of breaking it down in exactly the same percentages as the FAA exam will be, therefore we recommend repeatedly taking the exam to ensure you have accessed all available questions (or at least a large portion of them) and consistently achieve a perfect score (100%).

If you are in need of further instruction, whether to assist in passing the FAA Part 107 Exam or simply seeking to master the regulations for safe and legal flight operations, Drone Mastery does provide 1-on-1 training and occasionally offers training events for groups. Please contact us for more details or check out our Event Calendar for upcoming training events.

We trust you will find our FAR Part 107 Practice Exam helpful and welcome any feedback you may have for us. Good luck and safe flying!
