40 questions from the FAA Part 107 knowledge test, answered
The FAA Part 107 knowledge test is 60 questions and takes 42 correct — 70% — to pass.
These 40 come out of Part 107 Drone Test Prep 2026's own 325-question bank. Each answer keeps the app's explanation and the public source it was written from — nothing here was written for the web.
