FAA Part 107 · remote pilot knowledge test (UAG)

Read the sectional chart the way the Part 107 test expects

Q: How many questions are on the Part 107 knowledge test?

The PSI UAG bulletin lists 60 scored questions plus 5 unscored ones, 2 hours, and a 70 percent passing score.

To pass the Part 107 test you need 70 percent on 60 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours, and about a fifth of the test is airspace and charts. Sectional Cue puts real FAA testing-supplement charts on your screen so you can tap any boundary, altitude, tower or frequency and read what it means.

Who is Sectional Cue for?

People in the United States preparing for the FAA Part 107 remote pilot knowledge test who want to get comfortable with sectional charts and the rule questions around them. That includes new commercial drone pilots, photographers and inspection or real estate workers adding a certificate, and Part 61 pilots who want a refresher on drone rules (Part 61 pilots with a current flight review take an online course instead of the test; see the Part 61 path). It is practice material and works alongside the free FAA study guide.

What does Sectional Cue cost, and where can I get it?

It is on Google Play for Android in the United States, free to download with a one-time US$29.99 unlock. The iPhone app is coming soon; until then the free lessons and questions on this site work on any phone. Last checked 2026-11-14.

Questions people ask

How many questions are on the Part 107 knowledge test?

The PSI information bulletin for the UAG test lists 60 scored questions plus 5 unscored ones, 2 hours to finish, and a passing score of 70 percent. Check the PSI UAG bulletin before you book, because the FAA and PSI can change the format. More in the test guide.

Are the chart images the same as on the test?

The app uses figures from the FAA's public testing supplement, FAA-CT-8080-2H. The FAA said in an October 2026 testing advisory that the UAG test now also puts images directly into some questions, so learn to read charts in general instead of memorizing one figure. See the testing supplement guide.

Does this app count as FAA recurrent training?

No. The free FAA online recurrent training on FAASafety.gov keeps your certificate current. Sectional Cue is a study tool. See Part 107 recurrent training.

Do I need a Part 107 certificate or just TRUST?

If you fly purely for fun, you take the free TRUST test. If you fly for work or any other non-recreational purpose, Part 107 applies. Read Part 107 vs TRUST.

Are the practice questions copied from the FAA test?

No. Every question and explanation is original, written from the public rules and FAA guidance, and each cites its source. Figures are FAA supplement pages, which are U.S. Government works.

Is Sectional Cue affiliated with the FAA or PSI?

No. It is an independent product of Certloom Learning.

How should I plan my study time?

Pick the two-week plan if you can study daily, or the four-week plan for a slower pace. The common mistakes guide covers the reasoning errors that cost points, and the prep options page compares ways to study.
