The FAA remote-pilot (commercial drone) knowledge test — adaptive practice across the rules and the airman knowledge behind them.
The FAA Part 107 knowledge test certifies commercial drone pilots on two fronts: the regulations themselves (operating limits, visual line of sight, night operations, waivers, Remote ID, accident reporting) and general airman knowledge — the airspace system and where you need authorization, aviation weather and METAR/TAF reports, loading and performance, and aeronautical decision-making.
Keentune drills both with adaptive questions built from the public-domain FAA regulations, handbooks, and the Remote Pilot ACS. METAR decoding and computation items are generated with always-correct answers, and every explanation names the classic misreading. One honest gap: sectional-chart figure questions require the official FAA testing supplement — practice those there.

Sample FAA Part 107 questions
Worked examples with the answer explained — the same teaching you get after every question in practice. Original questions written by Keentune, not real exam items.
Regulations
Under Part 107, away from any structure, what is the maximum altitude you may fly a small drone in uncontrolled airspace?
• 400 feet AGL
• 500 feet AGL
• 1,000 feet AGL
• No altitude limit applies
Answer: 400 feet AGL
Part 107 caps small-drone flight at 400 feet above ground level (AGL) — unless you stay within 400 feet of a structure, where you may fly up to 400 feet above that structure’s top. The trap is 500 feet, which is a minimum safe altitude for most manned aircraft, not the drone ceiling. Rule: drones ≤ 400 ft AGL, with the “400 ft above a structure” allowance the only exception.
Weather
A METAR weather report includes the group “BKN008”. What is it telling a remote pilot?
• A broken cloud layer at 800 feet
• Visibility of 8 statute miles ahead
• Surface wind from 008 degrees true
• A broken cloud layer at 8,000 feet
Answer: A broken cloud layer at 800 feet
In a METAR (a routine aviation weather report), sky cover is a code plus a height in hundreds of feet above the station: BKN = broken (5–7 eighths of the sky covered) and 008 = 800 feet AGL. The trap is reading 008 as 8,000 feet — you multiply the three digits by 100, not 1,000. Rule: cloud-height groups are hundreds of feet, so 008 → 800 ft and 250 → 25,000 ft.
Practice by section
Regulations
Certification and recurrency, the operating limits, VLOS, night ops, over-people categories, waivers, and reporting.
Original practice aligned to the FAA Remote Pilot ACS using public-domain FAA sources — never actual exam questions, and sectional-chart figure items are not included. Keentune is independent study practice, not affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA, and does not guarantee a pass.
About $175, paid at the PSI testing center when you take it (fee as of 2026 — confirm with your testing provider).
What is the passing score for Part 107?
You need 70%. The test has 60 multiple-choice questions and a 120-minute limit, so 42 correct passes.
How old do I have to be to get a Part 107 certificate?
At least 16 years old, able to read, speak, write, and understand English, and in a physical and mental condition to fly safely. You also clear TSA security vetting as part of the application.
Do I have to retake the test to stay current?
No. Since 2021, recurrency is a free online training course you complete every 24 calendar months — there is no recurrent knowledge test anymore.
How do I register for the Part 107 exam?
Create an FAA Tracking Number (FTN) in the IACRA system, then schedule your test at an FAA-approved PSI testing center. After you pass, you file FAA Form 8710-13 for the certificate.
Can I study everything for Part 107 on Keentune?
Keentune covers the regulations and the airman knowledge — airspace, weather, loading, and decision-making. One honest gap: questions that read an FAA sectional-chart figure require the official FAA testing supplement, so practice those there.
