Introduction to the Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Knowledge Test Study Guide

Welcome to the Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Knowledge Test Study Guide. This comprehensive guide is designed to help you prepare for the FAA knowledge exam required for remote pilots operating small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) under 14 CFR §107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. This study guide aligns with the topics outlined in the FAA’s Remote Pilot – Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Airman Certification Standards (ACS), ensuring that you are focusing on the key areas necessary for certification.

The guide condenses all of the essential references and information found in the ACS into one easy-to-use resource, streamlining your study process. You will find test questions similar to those found in the FAA’s Unmanned Aircraft General (UAG) exam, offering an effective way to gauge your understanding of the material. In addition to the written content, this study guide incorporates helpful videos, allowing you to visualize key concepts and reinforce your learning.

Links to UAG practice tests are provided, giving you the opportunity to take full-length practice exams that closely simulate the actual FAA test. These practice tests are an invaluable tool for identifying areas of strength and weakness, ensuring you are well-prepared for the real exam. For educators, a dedicated chapter offers a sample syllabus, presentation slide decks, and reference links. You are welcome to use or adapt these materials as needed.

Whether you are preparing to take the FAA knowledge test for the first time or reviewing to ensure your success, this guide offers everything you need to feel confident and ready for the exam. Let’s get started on your journey to becoming a certified remote pilot!
