How do you schedule the Part 107 test?
- Create a profile in IACRA. The FAA asks every applicant without an FTN to do this before an airman knowledge test, and the FTN is printed on your test report.
- Check that your name in IACRA matches the photo ID you’ll bring.
- Go to PSI’s FAA site, the link on the FAA’s Become a Drone Pilot page, and create an account with your FTN.
- Choose the UAG test, then a test center and a date.
- Pay PSI when you book.
You can also register by phone: the ACS says PSI’s customer service number is on the same site. Either way you choose the center and arrange payment, and you may cancel in line with the testing center’s cancellation policy.
What you need before you book
No instructor endorsement or other written permission: the FAA’s testing matrix says the UAG needs none, for a first try or a retest. You must be at least 14 on test day, and you need an ID with your photo, signature and date of birth.
Booking with a disability or other need
You can ask to take the test with special accommodations. The ACS says reasonable accommodations for applicants with disabilities may be provided under applicable law, including the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Your request should include medical documentation with the diagnosing physician’s name and contact details, and the way you’d like the test given.
Pilots who don’t need to book a test
Part 61 pilots who meet the conditions on the getting certified page can take the FAA’s free ALC-451 course online instead of booking a test.
