Q: What is the PSI drone test?
A: The PSI drone test is an informal name for the FAA’s Part 107 knowledge test, which is formally called the Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG) Part 107 Knowledge Test. This test is administered at PSI drone testing centers. Drone pilots who want to fly drones for work in the U.S. must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate, and passing the PSI drone test is a key requirement for obtaining the certificate.
Q: Are there specific FAA Part 107 testing centers?
A: Yes, FAA Part 107 testing centers are specifically designated locations operated by PSI, a company authorized by the FAA to administer the knowledge test required for obtaining a Remote Pilot Certificate.
Q: Is there a drone school near me where I can prepare for the test?
A: Drone Pilot Ground School is an online test prep course to help drone pilots prepare for the PSI drone test. Drone Pilot Ground School has a 99% pass rate and has helped over 60,000 drone pilots pass the FAA’s Part 107 test.
Q: Do I need to study in person for the PSI drone test?
A: No. The Part 107 test (or PSI drone test) is strictly a knowledge test, which means there is no practical component to the test, and therefore no need to practice actually flying a drone in order to pass. To pass the test, you must have in-depth knowledge about U.S. airspace and rules for flying.
Because there is no practical component to the test, drone schools that prepare you for the test are typically not in-person, but rather online. Learn more about how Drone Pilot Ground School helps pilots prepare for the test here.
Q: How do I register for the Part 107 drone test at an FAA testing center near me?
A: To register for the Part 107 test, you’ll need to create an account and get an FAA Tracking Number (FTN), choose the nearest FAA testing center, select a convenient date and time for your test, and use your FTN to create an account with PSI. Payment is usually required at the time of registration. See the section above titled “How to Schedule Your FAA Drone Test” for links to additional resources.
Q: How much does the PSI drone test cost?
A: $175.
Q: What should I expect at the drone testing center?
A: At the drone testing center, you will be required to present a valid government-issued photo ID. You’ll take the test on a computer. The test will consist of multiple-choice questions covering topics such as airspace classification, weather, drone regulations, and operational procedures. The test is timed, so manage your time wisely.
How to Get Ready for the PSI Drone Test
The FAA’s Part 107 test—also called the PSI drone test, since PSI administers it—is long and complicated. It is a purely knowledge-based test, which means that you only have to demonstrate your knowledge, and do not have to do any flying to pass.
To pass, drone pilots must demonstrate knowledge about topics like airspace classification, weather, drone regulations, and operational procedures.
Given the complexity and depth of the PSI drone test, we created Drone Pilot Ground School to help drone pilots prepare for it. Drone Pilot Ground includes:
- Everything you need to pass the PSI drone test. Our course covers all 120+ knowledge concepts across 70+ video-based lectures that the FAA requires drone pilots to learn in the UAS Airman Certification Standards.
- Practical flight bonus lessons. All students get access to our Knowledge Base with its 100+ FAQ and our top 15 drone training exercises to help you become a better pilot.
- A Guided Study option. Guided Study students get access to resources to help them create a drone business, including pricing strategies for drone services, business tools and tips, and more. They also have access to a live weekly Zoom webinar, “Ground School Live” with our Part 107 expert instructor. Plus, you’ll get unlimited practice exams with 350+ real FAA test questions.
