The app contains an extensive set of practice questions covering the initial Remote Pilot – Small UAS knowledge areas. The exact total changes as our editors add and revise material. Update the app to see the current content. You can also use the material for ongoing review; recurrent FAA qualification is now completed through the appropriate online training, rather than the old testing-center recurrent exam.

GroundSchool gives you actual and highly realistic FAA question practice covering the Remote Pilot knowledge areas in depth. The questions and detailed explanations help you become comfortable with the content and style of the exam.

The FAA adds and revises questions, and an exam can use different wording, numbers, illustrations, or answer choices. An exact match to every possible question is not guaranteed. Study the explanations so you can apply what you know to both familiar questions and new variations.

Our approach is learning by doing: work on a question, then explore its explanation. This gives you practice applying the knowledge while making the reasoning clear. Dauntless has developed FAA test preparation since 1997, and our editors bring that experience to the drone syllabus.

Customers have shared strong results, including the genuine testimonials on this page. Early users reported scores ranging from the 80s into the high 90s, and their feedback helped our editors improve the material. These are individual reports rather than a guarantee. We appreciate customers who recommend FAATest.com to friends and drone communities.

Yes. Required charts and figures are integrated into the app. A link within the app lets you generate a PDF of the figures if you prefer to print them for study.

The built-in JargonBuster feature gives fast, contextual definitions of aviation terms and abbreviations. Detailed explanations help you understand the material without assuming that you already have an aviation background.

Choose the format that meets your needs. GroundSchool combines drone subject knowledge with our experience preparing people for FAA knowledge tests. It is a focused, self-paced test-preparation product with practice questions, detailed explanations, and regular content updates. A separate course or instructor may offer other benefits, such as practical flight coaching.

No. GroundSchool centers on active practice and illustrated explanations. You control the pace, choose the areas that need work, and revisit difficult subjects. Audio review provides another way to study. Our aim is to keep you actively engaged with the material.

The study content covers the knowledge areas appropriate to the initial Part 107 test, including:

• Regulations, operating privileges, and limitations
• Airspace, flight restrictions, and operating requirements
• Aviation weather and its effects on small UAS performance
• Loading and performance
• Emergency procedures and crew resource management
• Radio communications and airport operations
• Physiological effects of drugs and alcohol
• Aeronautical decision-making and judgment
• Maintenance and preflight inspection procedures
• Night operations

Use the app’s current test selection and update feature. A legacy recurrent selection, if still shown, is a study aid and does not replace the FAA’s required recurrent online training.

Memorizing answer letters is unreliable. Use the explanations to learn the principles, work through figures and calculations, and understand why the other answers do not fit. That preparation helps when the FAA presents the same subject in a different way.

Use the “report an issue with this question” link in the explanation pane. It identifies the relevant item for our editorial team. We read and evaluate feedback, correct errors, and clarify explanations when needed. Revised material becomes available through the app’s update feature. Thank you for helping us improve it.

Yes. You can take unlimited practice tests. Other modes include flashcards, continuous practice, and audio review, so you can choose the method that suits the stage of your learning.

The core questions, answers, and explanations are the same across platforms. Interfaces and some features vary to suit each device. Use the in-app update option on each installation.

“Learning by Listening” uses a human narrator to read questions and answers, with occasional explanatory commentary. It is included with the drone apps. Questions requiring substantial chart interpretation or calculation are not well suited to audio, so audio does not cover every item or replace the full illustrated explanations.

Use the update or check-for-updates option in the app’s main menu while connected to the Internet.
