Frequently asked questions

Is this the official FAA Part 107 test?

No. This is an independent practice course with original questions. The official UAG knowledge test is taken at an FAA-approved knowledge testing center.

What does the certificate of completion show?

It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on its final assessment. It is not a Remote Pilot Certificate, it does not let you fly under Part 107, and the FAA does not recognize it.

How is the real test scored?

The UAG test has 60 multiple-choice questions in up to 2 hours, and you need 70% or better to pass. Your test report lists codes for the topics you missed.

How long is the final assessment here?

It has 40 questions in 80 minutes, the same pace as the real test (60 questions in 2 hours). The questions are drawn at random from the whole course, so each attempt is different.

Do I have to take the test again every two years?

No. Since April 2021, remote pilots stay current by completing a free online recurrent training course every 24 calendar months.

Does this course cover recreational flying?

Only a little. Recreational flyers take TRUST instead of the UAG test. This course follows the Part 107 rules for certificated remote pilots in the United States.

Is the certificate accredited or officially recognised?

No. It is a private certificate of completion for knowledge only. It is not recognised, accredited or approved by any government, licensing body, regulator or educational institution, and it does not replace any licence, certification or training required by law.
