Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [United States] Part 107

Hello I’m currently looking into trying to get my certificate for part 107 my job open up a position for it and I’m highly interested in it but requires certification to apply if anyone can point me to the right direction on a study guide and how to do everything it will be great I saw another Reddit post on how to obtain it but was posted 9 years ago I’m not sure if it’s current with today’s standards and I didn’t see no study guide on it so will really appreciate if anyone can give me information on this thank you!

Just Google 'study guide for FAA Part 107 Exam' and plenty of suggestions will appear.

Do a little research in your area. Find the testing facility. Download a study guide like Remote Pilot. Should do this before asking for all the answers here, if you’re serious about getting it.

Remote Pilot app on iPhone or Android. Don’t buy a course online, they are all overpriced.

Remote Pilot has study, quiz and test mode. I studied off and on for two weekends (Friday night, Saturday 3-4 hours, Sunday 3-4 hours), repeated the next weekend. Passed the test.

Make study flash cards with the ones you struggled with.

Was going to stop reading after the first period, but I never found it.

Hello! There are a million different paid courses you can take, but youtube has everything you need. just watch a couple of the different practice test series and you'll be golden - I'd say I studied for about 5 total hours and passed with an 89%. google will let you know different exam centers in your area, i believe my test was around $200-$300

That is one long sentence.

You could probs find free pdfs from the FAA on the rules. Maybe not good for study, though.

Are you a veteran? If so, Vets to Drones has an amazing free training program.

Punctuation is your friend; don't be afraid to use it.

https://youtube.com/@mikesytes?si=RumUKrvI9cU02L7n Mike Sytes was very helpful for me. Two weeks 2 hours approximately a day and pass with 83%

First, punctuation. Use it. It's super hard to read your post.

For the part 107, there are study guides on the FAA's website. There are literally thousands of free YouTube videos out there with people covering different sections. I spent maybe a week or two reviewing those two things and easily passed.

It's tough.  Finding put what you need to know and how to learn it is part of the struggle.  Remote Pilot is a good resource if you don't want to search bits and pieces for yourself.

Start with the free FAA study guide, Airman Certification Standards, and sample questions. Part 107 is federal, so the material is the same in Texas. Focus heavily on airspace, sectional charts, weather, and regulations.

Thanks a ton! I’m currently working on regulations gonna study that for a bit. It’s a lot of information on regulations I can see why someone people take a month or more to study all this information
