FAA Part 107 Test Cram Sheet (Remote Pilot Knowledge Test Quick Reference)
The FAA Part 107 "test cram sheet" is a condensed, high-yield review document used for last-minute preparation before taking the Unmanned Aircraft General (UAG) knowledge test. No official "cram sheet" is published by the FAA; instead, third-party training providers and study platforms produce these quick-reference summaries. The official FAA study materials are the Airman Certification Standards (ACS), the Remote Pilot Study Guide, and online sample questions . Exam Format and Core Numbers: The UAG test consists of 60 scored multiple-choice questions with a 2-hour time limit and a 70% passing score (42 correct) .

Airspace and Authorization: Class B, C, D, and Class E surface area airspace require prior FAA authorization, obtainable through LAANC (near-real-time) or DroneZone (manual) . On sectional charts, solid blue indicates Class B, solid magenta indicates Class C, dashed blue indicates Class D, and dashed magenta indicates Class E surface area . Class G is uncontrolled and generally does not require authorization . Operations and Currency: The Remote Pilot in Command (PIC) holds final authority and responsibility . Recurrent training is required every 24 calendar months to maintain currency . Accidents involving serious injury or property damage of at least $500 must be reported to the FAA within 10 calendar days . Alcohol consumption requires waiting at least 8 hours before acting as PIC, with a maximum blood alcohol concentration of 0.04% . Night operations require anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles and completion of updated training after April 6, 2021 .
