How we check our questions
October 2026 · 4-minute read
Three things make a Part 107 practice question checkable: a cited FAA source, a review against that source's text, and a source the student can open.
Read it →Field notes on knowing you are ready
Short, grounded pieces on preparing for the FAA Part 107 exam — what the test actually weights, what a training tool should do, and how to tell when you are ready to book. No pass rates, no vendor rankings. Every claim cites its source, and every number is one you can check.

Completion tracking tells you who finished, not who is ready to book or which topic the class is weakest on. That needs a different instrument.
Read it →How we write.
Every regulatory statement cites the section it comes from. We publish no pass rates or outcome figures — ours or anyone’s — and we name no vendor. Where we describe what a tool should do, we say how we measure against it ourselves, including where we fall short. The canonical copy of every piece lives here; copies elsewhere link back.
