(Core) 4hr FAA Part 107 Knowledge Test Prep for Drone Pilots

Learn part 107 regulations for foreign registered drones, notices of identification with the FAA, RPIC duties, payload limits under 55 pounds, visual line of sight, and essential waivers.

Master the 2021 night regulations for FAA Part 107, including online currency tests, night operations rules, lighting, visual line of sight, and off-center scanning concepts.

Learn to read latitude and longitude on sectional charts, assess restricted airspace with SkyVector, and obtain modems and authorization via flight service and Lance for Part 107 operations.

Interpret terminal area forecasts (taf) and amended tafs to assess winds, visibility, ceiling, and precipitation for drone operations. Use probability indicators to plan flights and understand forecast formats.

Explore how density altitude—driven by altitude, temperature, and humidity—affects aircraft performance, and distinguish stable versus unstable atmospheres, including lifting actions, clouds, and thunderstorm potential.

Examine the three thunderstorm stages—cumulus, mature, dissipating—downdrafts and wind shear, the role of dew point and inversions in visibility, fog types, density altitude, turbulence, and go/no-go decisions.

Learn how datum, arm, and moment determine center of gravity within limits, and how weight, center of gravity, and load factors influence lift, tail downforce, and stall recovery.

Learn radio communications procedures, locate frequencies using SkyVector and sectional charts, and follow the who, where, what format to communicate with ATC, including weather broadcasts, aircraft call signs, and enunciation.
