LiftReady is a Part 107 test prep app by Examzio that prepares you for the FAA knowledge test for the Remote Pilot certificate, often called the commercial drone license. It has 36 short lessons, 600 original practice questions and a timed 60-question practice exam, all written in-house, and every answer is explained and checked against current FAA rules and handbooks.
Site P in the TFR planning figure is about 1.5 NM from Sample Stadium, which seats 45,000. An NFL game is scheduled to start at 1300. Considering the FAA stadium restriction, may a remote pilot fly at Site P at 1230?

Study for the Part 107 test in its real proportions.
The FAA Part 107 knowledge test, officially Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG), covers five knowledge areas. LiftReady's 60-question practice exam draws from each one in proportion to its published weight.

How we write questions
Original, handcrafted, checked.
01Written in-houseEvery question, lesson and flashcard is original work, written by the Examzio team to follow the format and knowledge areas of the FAA knowledge test. No copied test banks and no real test questions.
02Pointed to the exact rule or pageEach answer points to the rule or handbook page it is based on, down to the section, records the edition it was checked against and the date, and links to the official text so you can read it yourself.
03Checked before it shipsEach item was checked against the rule it points to and reviewed by someone other than its author before it was published. Anything unresolved stays out of the app.
04Kept currentWhen FAA rules or test guidance change, the affected questions are corrected in an app update. Your past results keep the answer you actually gave.
Three practice questions, answered.
The three questions from the live demo, with every answer explained. They are LiftReady's own original practice questions from the free starter, not real test questions.
01 · AirspaceSite P in the TFR planning figure is about 1.5 NM from Sample Stadium, which seats 45,000. An NFL game is scheduled to start at 1300. Considering the FAA stadium restriction, may a remote pilot fly at Site P at 1230?
LiftReady schematic, not for navigation
A. No; drones are prohibited within 3 NM of such a stadium starting one hour before the scheduled event
Correct answer
Correct: Site P is inside 3 NM and 1230 is within one hour before the 1300 start.
B. Yes, because the stadium restriction applies only to recreational flyers
The FAA stadium restriction applies to UAS operations generally, not just recreational flights.
C. Yes, if the drone stays below 400 ft AGL
Altitude does not create an exception here; the FAA pages describe the prohibition without one.
Explanation: The FAA prohibits UAS operations within three nautical miles of stadiums seating 30,000 or more, beginning one hour before the scheduled time of NFL, MLB, NCAA Division One football and listed race events. 1230 is within that window and Site P is inside 3 NM.
02 · OperationsBased on the wind cone at the center of the segmented circle in the figure, from which direction is the wind blowing?
LiftReady schematic, not for navigation
A. From the west
Correct answer
Correct. The large end faces west, into the wind.
B. From the east
East is where the narrow tail points; the wind blows toward the east, not from it.
C. From the north
The cone lies east-west, so a north wind does not fit.
Explanation: The large end of a wind cone points into the wind. In the figure the large end points west and the narrow tail streams east, so the wind is from the west.
03 · WeatherExample report, not current weather: METAR KMSN 160955Z 00000KT 10SM SKC 08/07 A3021. The sky has been clear all night, the wind is calm and the temperature is still falling. Which hazard could develop before a planned sunrise flight?
A. Thunderstorms triggered by strong surface heating
Thunderstorms need instability and lifting; a cool, calm, clear night does not provide strong surface heating.
B. Advection fog carried in by a strong onshore wind
Advection fog needs moist air moving over a colder surface; the report shows calm wind (00000KT), not a strong onshore flow.
C. Radiation fog that can reduce visibility quickly
Correct answer
Correct. Clear sky, calm wind and a 1 °C spread are the classic setup for radiation fog.
Explanation: On clear, calm nights the ground cools by radiation, and a 1 °C temperature–dew point spread shows the air is close to saturation. That combination makes radiation fog likely around sunrise.

Questions
Good to know.
Is LiftReady from the FAA?
No. LiftReady is an independent study app made by Examzio. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by the FAA. The knowledge test itself is taken at a PSI testing center.
Who needs the Part 107 knowledge test?
Anyone who wants a Remote Pilot certificate to fly a drone for work or business under Part 107 and does not already hold a Part 61 pilot certificate. If you hold a Part 61 certificate (other than student pilot) and meet the flight review requirement, the FAA lets you complete online training instead of the initial test. To be eligible for the certificate you must be at least 16 and able to read, speak, write and understand English.
How many questions are on the Part 107 test, and what score do I need to pass?
The initial Part 107 knowledge test, officially Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG), has 60 questions, a two-hour time limit and a passing score of 70%. It may also include unscored validation questions, which do not count toward your score but are answered within the same two hours. LiftReady's practice exam uses the same question count, two-hour timer and 70% mark.
Create a profile in IACRA to get your FAA Tracking Number (FTN), then book the UAG test at an FAA-approved knowledge testing center through PSI and bring a government-issued photo ID. After you pass, apply for your Remote Pilot certificate in IACRA (FAA Form 8710-13). You can print a temporary certificate once the TSA security background check is complete. Steps can change, so follow the FAA's current instructions.
Only if you fail it: you can retest after waiting 14 calendar days. Once you pass, you stay current by completing the FAA's free online recurrent training every 24 calendar months, instead of taking a second test. LiftReady prepares you for the initial test.
No. Every question is original, written in-house by the Examzio team and checked against current FAA rules and guidance. They teach the same knowledge areas as the test, in the same proportions, but they are not copies of real test questions.
How close is the practice exam to the real test?
It uses 60 questions, a two-hour limit and the published weighting of the five knowledge areas, and shows your score against the 70% mark. The real test may also include unscored validation questions. A practice score is a study signal; it does not predict or guarantee a result.
Does it cover chart questions?
Yes. Ninety-two questions use one of 33 original figures, including airspace maps, airport markings and weather reports drawn to the FAA's chart conventions. The figures are schematics for study, not charts for navigation.
Is there a free Part 107 practice test, and what does $4.99 unlock?
Yes. LiftReady's free starter includes one full timed practice exam, plus 100 questions, 6 complete lessons and 30 flashcards. Full Access is a single $4.99 purchase that unlocks all 600 questions, 36 lessons, 180 flashcards and unlimited practice exams. No subscription.
Do I need an account or internet?
No. LiftReady has no account and works offline. Your progress stays on your device; you can export a backup and import it on a new one. You need a connection only to buy or restore Full Access and to open links to official FAA pages.
What happens when the rules change?
Every question records the edition of the FAA rule or handbook it was checked against, and the date. When the FAA changes a rule or the test guidance, we correct the affected questions in an app update.
