About Remote Pilot Study Buddy
Operating a drone for non-recreational purposes requires a Remote Pilot Certificate, and earning one starts with passing the FAA Remote Pilot knowledge test (the Part 107 "written"). Sporty's Remote Pilot Study Buddy prepares you for it with three ways to study (Study Questions, Flashcards and Practice Tests) plus the FAA's own study materials.
• STUDY QUESTIONS BY TOPIC •
Choose whole topic areas or individual topics to build your own study session. As soon as you answer, you'll see the correct answer, an explanation developed by Sporty's team of Master Instructors, and where to read more. Change your answer anytime, bookmark questions as you go, and jump to any question from the question list. Every study session is shuffled.
• REVIEW WITH FLASHCARDS •
Flashcards show just the question, so you answer from memory before revealing the correct answer and its explanation. Mark each card Know It or Still Learning, then start a new session from the cards you're still learning. On iPhone Duo, study a card with the phone open and close it to check the answer.
• TAKE PRACTICE TESTS •
Each Practice Test draws 60 questions at random from the full question bank, gives you 2 hours, and is graded at the FAA's 70% passing score. Afterward, see your score by topic, review every question or only the ones you missed, and turn your misses into a new study session.
• PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF •
Sessions save as you go. The History tab lets you resume any session in progress and review past results, including your scores by topic.
• REMOTE PILOT STUDY RESOURCES •
Study the knowledge areas covered on the test with these FAA publications, included in the app:
- Remote Pilot Small UAS Study Guide
- Remote Pilot Airman Certification Standards
- Remote Pilot Knowledge Test Guide
- FAR Part 107 Advisory Circular
The app also explains what it takes to earn your remote pilot certificate.
• EVERY FIGURE, OFFLINE •
The Figures tab includes the complete FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement, with every figure and legend listed by name and page. Swipe through the pages or open any one full screen. Questions show their figures right alongside, and you can study without a connection.
Designed for iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad, with Dark Mode and support for larger text sizes.
The FAA does not publish its knowledge test questions, so the questions on your test won't necessarily appear in this app. Study Buddy is meant to complement your training, not to replace it.
• STUDY QUESTIONS BY TOPIC •
Choose whole topic areas or individual topics to build your own study session. As soon as you answer, you'll see the correct answer, an explanation developed by Sporty's team of Master Instructors, and where to read more. Change your answer anytime, bookmark questions as you go, and jump to any question from the question list. Every study session is shuffled.
• REVIEW WITH FLASHCARDS •

Mark each card Know It or Still Learning, then start a new session from the cards you're still learning. On iPhone Duo, study a card with the phone open and close it to check the answer.
