commercial use

You are preparing for paid drone services

If your goal includes real estate media, jobsite documentation, roof inspection, agriculture, facility maintenance, or media work, Part 107 may be the required path beyond recreation.

aviation English

Airspace, METAR, and sectional charts are slowing you down

Many learners can fly the drone but struggle with Class B/C/D/E/G airspace, airport operations, weather minimums, sectional charts, and aeronautical decision-making.

certificate process

You need UAG, IACRA, and TSA background-check context

First-time applicants usually get an FTN, schedule at an FAA-approved Knowledge Testing Center, pass the UAG knowledge test, and submit the Remote Pilot Certificate application in IACRA.

Understand The Certificate And Test Path First

FAA requires remote pilots operating under the Small UAS Rule Part 107 to obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate. First-time applicants generally must meet age, English, and safety-condition requirements and pass the Unmanned Aircraft General - Small (UAG) knowledge test.

Eligibility

Basic applicant requirements

First-time applicants generally must be at least 16, be able to read, speak, write, and understand English, and be in a physical and mental condition to safely fly a drone.

UAG

Initial aeronautical knowledge exam

UAG topics include regulations, airspace, flight restrictions, aviation weather, loading and performance, emergency procedures, CRM, radio, ADM, airport operations, maintenance, and night operations.

IACRA

FTN, testing center, and application

The process usually starts with an FAA Tracking Number in IACRA, then an FAA-approved Knowledge Testing Center appointment. After passing UAG, the exam ID is used in IACRA.

Currency

24-calendar-month recurrent training

The Remote Pilot Certificate must be accessible during UAS operations. Certificate holders complete online recurrent training every 24 calendar months to maintain knowledge recency.

Airspace and rules

Class B/C/D/E/G airspace, restrictions, night operations, remote ID, and pilot responsibility.

02

Weather and charts

METAR, TAF, sectional charts, airport symbols, and airspace boundaries.

03

Safety and operations

Risk assessment, maintenance, lost-link handling, people safety, and commercial flight scenarios.

Check These Four Things Before You Register

PassUSExam can support Part 107 English, charts, and question wording, but registration, certification, flight authorization, and drone compliance should be verified with FAA, IACRA, PSI, and FAADroneZone.

01 flight type

Confirm Part 107 versus recreational flying

Decide whether the operation is commercial, work-related, organizational, or non-recreational. Recreational flying and Part 107 differ in certificate, registration, authorization, and responsibility.

02 test process

Prepare FTN, ID, and UAG scheduling

Confirm your IACRA account, FAA Tracking Number, government photo ID, knowledge testing center, fees, test language, and the wait for results to appear in IACRA.

03 core domains

Study airspace, weather, and charts first

Common hard areas include sectional charts, airspace classes, weather sources, airport symbols, flight restrictions, night operations, and operational judgment.

04 flight compliance

Add registration, Remote ID, and LAANC to the checklist

The certificate is only the start. Real flights may involve drone registration, Remote ID, airspace authorization, TFRs, visual line of sight, operations over people, and waivers.
