A Two-Week Part 107 Study Plan

Most Part 107 study plans are organized by whatever order the course happened to record its videos in. This one is organized by the exam. The FAA's updated test blueprint, effective September 29, 2025, weighs the areas like this: Regulations 48%, Operations 25%, Airspace 20%, Weather 5%, and Loading and Performance 2%. Study time should roughly follow it.

The plan assumes you are starting with no aviation background and can give it an hour or two a day. It is a template, not a promise. Adjust it after day one.

How the two weeks are split

Weather and Loading get a slightly bigger share of days than of the exam because the math and the acronyms are unfamiliar to most people. The exam mistakes post explains why that is still a small slice.

Day 1: find your starting point

Take the free diagnostic before you read anything. It shows which areas you already know and which you do not (and if you are unsure Part 107 applies to your flying at all, read ten real scenarios first), and it is the only honest basis for changing the plan below. A strong result in one area means you can borrow its days for another.

Days 2 to 5: regulations

The biggest block gets the most days, and it is the one most people study as one undifferentiated pile. Break it up:

• Day 2, the certificate and the paperwork. Eligibility and recency, then registration, reporting, and preflight.
• Day 3, the operating limits. Start with UA.I.B.K21, then VLOS and visual observers and night operations.
• Day 4, who has priority. Right-of-way and restricted areas, then waivers.
• Day 5, people and identification. Operations over people, then Remote ID and UA.I.F.K1.

Days 6 to 8: operations

Operations feels like common sense, which is why it quietly costs points. The exam tests scenario reasoning here, not intuition.

• Day 6: aeronautical decision-making.
• Day 7: physiology and alcohol, medical fitness, and emergencies.
• Day 8: airport operations and radio communications, plus maintenance and inspection procedures from the handbook.

Days 9 and 10: airspace

Airspace is a chart-reading skill, so do it with charts rather than definitions. Read how to read airspace on a sectional chart and how LAANC works, then spend the second day in the chart trainer until you can identify the airspace at a point without hunting for the legend.

Day 11: weather and loading

Small share of the exam, one focused day. Work through reading a METAR with UA.III.A.K2 open, then density altitude. The weather tool and the weight planner give you practice with real inputs.

Days 12 to 14: practice, then stop

• Day 12: drill your weakest areas, using your diagnostic and the past two weeks as the guide.
• Day 13: sit a full 60-question timed run in the simulator, then review every miss. The readiness guide explains how to read the result.
• Day 14: light review only. Check your ID and logistics against the test day checklist, and rest.

When to change it

If you already have an aviation background, compress Operations and Airspace and spend the recovered days on regulations. If the diagnostic shows a hole in one area, give that area the extra days from the areas you already know. If you fail the real test, the retest wait is 14 days, and this is how to use them.
