FAQs
Pass the Part 107 Exam or We’ll Pay Your Retest Fee + Give You Additional Live Prep at No Cost. Eligibility requirements apply: complete 100% of the required modules within the applicable 90-day period, score at least 85% on at least three practice exams, and take the FAA exam within the eligibility period. Qualifying students who fail receive payment of the FAA retest fee and additional live prep at no cost. This guarantee does not refund the course purchase price.
Online students must complete all required modules, including Night Operations, to 100% within 90 days before their exam date. In-person students must take the exam within 90 days of their class date or complete each required online module within 90 days before taking the exam. Students who attended before the March 1, 2021 FAA rule change must also complete the Night Operations modules.
FAA exam questions are not published. Practice questions align with exam topics, but wording differs; memorizing the question bank alone is not sufficient preparation. Excessive practice-test attempts with unreasonably short completion times do not qualify. The guarantee may be used once per student. Submit the failing test scorecard to the DARTdrones support team for review. Additional eligibility requirements apply.
Yes. The course includes Monthly Live Part 107 Review Sessions with professional drone and aviation instructors. Bring your questions and review challenging Part 107 topics with an instructor as you prepare for the FAA exam.
Planning to fly a drone for commercial use? You must have your FAA Part 107 Certification. In August of 2016, the FAA launched new rules for commercial drone pilots under the FAA regulations called Part 107. The new rules allow people interested in flying their drones for a profit or commercial use to gain a license from the FAA to fly their drone for commercial purposes after passing a 60 question, 2 hour exam offered at an FAA testing center. (The old rules used to require a 333 exemption and a manned aircraft pilot’s license. This is no longer necessary.) Someone new to aviation could commit 15 – 20 hours of study time and be ready to pass their exam.After taking our Part 107 Test Prep course, you can book at one of the FAA’s 690 testing centers across the country to take your exam for $175. Once you pass the exam, you get your certificate within a few weeks and are able to fly commercially.
The in-person FAA Part 107 Test Prep Course is eight hours, usually from 8:30 a.m to 5:00 p.m with a 30 minute lunch break. By the time you leave our class, you will feel confident with the knowledge you gained from the class. Still need more study time? We’ve got you covered. All students gain access to our online Part 107 Test Prep course so that they can continue to study and complete multiple practice tests. In addition, we are the first in the industry to offer exclusive webinars with our instructors for real-time answers you may have regarding your upcoming Part 107 exam.
