Exam EngineIn preparation

Built on the Part 107 engine, written to this test:

  • A written reason for every answer choice, not just the correct one
  • Weighted to the current FAA test blueprint, so study time follows the points
  • Practice exams, filtered study sessions and full timed exams
  • A diagnostic that names the chapters and pages to reread
  • Filter by knowledge area, chapter or only the questions you got wrong
FlashcardsIn preparation

Built to the same pattern as the Part 107 decks:

  • Not just an answer: each card gives the reason behind it
  • The FAA rule cited on the card, so you can check the original
  • The exact volume, chapter and section to reread, with no hunting
  • Spaced repetition: cards you miss come back soonest, ones you know come back least
  • Card progress is kept separate from your exam scores, so drilling never dents a practice result

Where this series stands

The FAA gives this test today. Our book for it is not finished.

No date is set, and we would rather say so than invent one. Everything on this page about the test itself is true today. The Part 107 series is finished and goes on sale when checkout opens.

No date announced

  • Working titles only, with no page count or price set
  • The test above runs today, on exactly those terms
  • When it is written we will say so here, and not before
  • Our email list is not open yet, so there is nothing to join and we are not taking addresses.
