Part 107 Pass Course

Operating Limits: 400 ft, 100 mph, 3 SM

Recite the core numbers — altitude, groundspeed, visibility, cloud clearance, daylight — and their exceptions.

Waivers & Subpart D

Identify which rules are waivable and how a Part 107 waiver is requested and used.

Registration & Remote ID

Register, mark and broadcast: the ownership and Remote ID duties for every sUAS.

Accident Reporting: 10 Days

Apply the FAA 10-day report triggers (serious injury / $500 damage) and NTSB rules.

Preflight & Maintenance Duty

Run the preflight condition check and ground the aircraft when equipment is inoperable.

Operations Over People & Vehicles

Sort Category 1–4 operations over people and the moving-vehicle restrictions.

Prohibited Ops, Drugs & Alcohol

Apply careless/reckless, the 8-hour bottle rule, 0.04 BAC, and refusal consequences.

Sectional Chart Symbols

Decode airport symbols, tower frequencies and segmented circles on a sectional.

Reading Class E Floors & Shading

Use magenta/blue vignettes and shading to find the airspace floor above any point.

Special Use Airspace

Separate prohibited, restricted, MOA, alert and warning areas — and who may enter.

LAANC & Airspace Authorization

Get controlled-airspace access through LAANC and read UASFM grid altitudes.

NOTAMs & TFRs

Check NOTAMs and TFRs preflight and know the consequences of busting one.

Lat/Long, Scale & Elevation

Locate coordinates, measure distance and read terrain and obstacle elevations.

Decoding TAFs

Read TAF validity periods and FM/TEMPO/PROB change groups for go/no-go calls.

Density Altitude & Performance

Explain how heat, altitude and humidity thin the air and degrade sUAS performance.

Stability, Dewpoint Spread & Fog

Use temperature/dewpoint spread and stability to anticipate fog and cloud formation.

Wind, Microbursts & Storm Hazards

Respect gust fronts, microbursts, and terrain rotors — the winds that take drones down.

Weather Minimums in Practice

Apply 3 SM visibility and 500-below/2,000-horizontal cloud clearance to real scenarios.

Center of Gravity & Balance

Keep CG inside limits and explain what a tail-heavy or nose-heavy sUAS does.

Battery Care & Power Management

Manage LiPo charging, temperature effects and the decision altitude for low battery.

Performance & Environmental Limits

Plan for altitude, temperature and manufacturer limits before the props turn.

Radio Calls & Traffic Awareness

Understand CTAF phraseology and build a mental picture of pattern traffic.

Right of Way: Yield to Everything

Apply see-and-avoid: sUAS yield to all manned aircraft, always.

Lost Link, Flyaway & Loss of Control

Program and execute lost-link behavior and the emergency-authority rule.

ADM & Hazardous Attitudes

Name the five hazardous attitudes with antidotes and run a risk-assessment loop.

Vision, Illusions & Fatigue

Account for scanning technique, empty-field myopia, dehydration and medications.

Night Operations & Lighting

Meet the anti-collision-light rule and the training required for night flight.

Site Survey & Ground Hazards

Survey obstacles, people, security and privacy before committing to a site.

Runway Markings & Patterns

Read runway numbers, traffic patterns and wind indicators from the ground.

Hazmat & External Loads

Apply the hazardous-materials ban and the securing rules for carried loads.
