FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Test Prep
Take the stress out of getting your Remote Pilot certificate. This series of short videos, quizzes, and practice tests will send you to the Remote Pilot test with confidence you'll pass.
The Internet has become saturated with outdated, irrelevant, and incorrect Remote Pilot Test Prep material throughout the years.
This Part 107 Remote Pilot Test Prep course is the only resource you need to pass the Part 107 test.
Current information - last revised in April 2022 - is presented in a clear, concise manner by a real FAA instructor pilot with nearly 15 years of flight instructor experience in both military and civilian flying.

Read MoreTo prepare for my remote pilot knowledge test I used several resources: this Peltier course, Drone Launch Academy's FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Exam Prep Course, an ASA study guide book, practice exams at PrepWare.com, and practice exams at faa.psiexams.com. Of these resources, I feel the Peltier course presented the material in a way that was most conducive to my learning and retaining the information. I also appreciate that John had done a great job of integrating the regulation changes going into effect this month (April 2021). Drone Launch Academy was particularly lacking in how well they integrated the new regulations thus far. The practice exams in the Peltier course grade your answer and give you feedback after each question. This is nice when you first learn the material, but the practice exams through Prepware.com and faa.psiexams.com better prepared me for the real test because they let you answer all the questions before grading. I find this helpful because it helps me continue on with the test even when I am unsure if I answered a particular question correctly. If I had only used one online course to prepare for my knowledge test, it would be the Peltier Photo Test Prep - FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot course.

Read MoreI just took my 107 today and scored a 93% thanks to John and his course! The practice tests help gauge where I was, but the course definitely helped me understand the information I was being tested over. I definitely recommend this course and if you put the time into studying and follow Johns advice you should be able to pass first time.

Read MoreI just passed my Part 107 exam this week, and I will say that if I had not taken John's course, I doubt I would have been able to accomplish this just from watching random videos online. The course material is thorough and is presented in a manner that is easy to follow and to understand. I was somewhat at ease when I went in for my exam because I was able to take the practice tests 8 or 9 times just to see most, if not all the questions he has in the prep test part of his course. The actual exam questions were not exactly the same, but the general ideas and principles were. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you're serious about passing.

Read MoreWithout a doubt, it is only due to this prep course that I passed my Part 107 exam. I had zero knowledge or experience with the course materials and realized quickly I’d need help. The PeltierPhoto course for the Part 107 was excellent. How the course studies were laid out including practice test and videos made it very easy to understand and learn. Passed my exam on the first try and after only 2 weeks of pretty moderate studying. I would highly recommend this course to help you in acquiring your part 107 certification.

Read MoreI thought this course what a wonderful course. John provides a great approach instructing this course, was available anytime I asked questions, created a great atmosphere in a self paced course and provided so much information that was helpful, useful and easy to understand. Amazingly, I have very little knowledge in drones or FAA regulations. I took my Part 107 Test today and passed - first time! Thank you to John for helping me achieve my goals!

Read MoreJohn's course layout was great. He uses short videos throughout the lessons to break down the information and explain it thoroughly. In addition to the videos, he has the notes below the videos for reference as well as test taking advice, references for other books, phone/tablet apps, etc. After passing the course, I spent the next few days going back through the videos and re-taking the practice test over and over. I studied in short intervals daily for about a week and scheduled my Part 107 exam and passed on my first attempt with a 90%. You have 2 hours to take the test. I finished early and had time to scan back through each question to ensure all were completed. Highly recommend this course!

Read MoreThis course got straight to the point and covered the required material both clearly and precise. Within 30 days I was up to speed and sailing thru the practice exams. When I took the Small Unmanned System test I really felt confident and was able to easily decipher what was being asked and answer correctly. The course is well laid out and is simple to go over the sections repeatedly until the lesson is clear. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed. Happy tailwinds Kelvin

Your instructor
FAA-Certified Flight Instructor
I have a unique background in education that started in the U.S. Air Force, where I flew F-15Es for nearly ten years. I've logged 114 Close Air Support combat missions during two deployments to Afghanistan, flew security for three different presidents and one space shuttle launch, and was an instructor in a training squadron during my final three years. My last job as an instructor was overseeing academic material for all F-15E training squadrons throughout the USAF.
I continued life as a flight instructor after the Air Force, this time in helicopters at home in beautiful Lake Tahoe, where I also flew tours. I eventually took my professional photography full-time but continued flying as a UAS pilot for Search and Rescue, also teaching sheriff's deputies and SAR volunteers in getting FAA Part 107 certification. I've brought that curriculum - and my military & civilian flight instructor experience - to these online courses.
If by some misfortune you don't pass, I will issue a refund for this test prep course. I will also reimburse you what you paid for the FAA test via PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App (your preference).
You will have had to complete 100% of this course to be eligible for the refund, and provide a copy of your testing center receipt and score sheet showing you didn't pass. Only the first failure can be reimbursed.
With both pricing options, you will have unlimited, lifetime access to the material. You'll receive updates to the regulations via email as they happen, and be able to come back here to review the changes.
As current as it can be! The original curriculum is from late 2019 and I make updates as necessary to stay up with current regulations. The latest modifications were made in April 2022.
Everything you see in the sections above is included in the course. This includes all videos, the study guide, the quizzes, unlimited practice tests, and 24/7 access as long as you have an Internet connection.
Extras are available, like airspace training customized to your home area, and a one-on-one video consult.
There are currently just over ten hours of training videos included in this course. Most of the videos are less than ten minutes each and get straight to the point, not overwhelming you with longer videos full of "chit-chat".
Each video is also followed by a text outline so you can read the highlights.
This is just a test prep course. You'll need to take an in-person test at an FAA-approved testing center near you after this course. Once you pass the test and submit a little bit of paperwork, you'll have your Part 107 certificate. Don't worry, I walk you through how to do all of that!

Read MoreThis Part 107 Training course was succinct and to the point, but at the same time comprehensive and thought provoking. It is obvious that the instructor has taken an understanding-based approach rather than simple rote memorization. I studied regularly for a week and went from knowing almost nothing about drones to passing the Part 107 with only one question wrong. You could use this course to study for 2 days and pass the test. That said, if you are also looking to really understand drone flying, principals of aeronautics and regulations, there is a lot of information here, and it is explained in a way that sinks in. In fact, this course sparked such an interest in aeronautics for me that I left the test center (at a small airport) with their pilot ground school materials. I am currently half way through reading the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge and I am having a much easier time understanding all the concepts because so much of it was already covered in Peltier's course. The resources that he provides at the beginning are worth at least half the cost of the course alone. Anyway, I was obviously impressed. John's flying background makes him more than qualified to teach this course and in addition, he is readily available to answer questions daily and makes an effort to get back to you asap. Highly recommend!

His advice to take it slow and go back and review my answers was a big help. I found 3 incorrect answers that I actually fixed before submitting it. You can’t go wrong with this training!

Read MoreI began studying last Thursday and passed my 107 with 97% on Monday. I do have a non-current PPL but haven't flown since 2013 so I had a bit of a head start.

Excellent course design and highly recommended!

Read MoreThere are so many other courses to choose from that it was very hard for me to choose one, and in the end i decided to choose this one because of John's background and price. I have a difficult time learning and was really worried about not being able to retain the info. But in the end the videos were easy to understand and when i needed too they were nicely outlined so i could go straight to the part i needed to relearn without watching the whole video. But where this course really shined was on the Practice test, i took it about 10-15 times and not only was it teaching me what i needed to work on but it gave me the confidence i needed and helped reduce my testing anxiety to the point where i hardly had any. In the end even with my learning disability's i was able to learn what i needed to learn and pass the Part 107 exam at 88% within a week.

Read MoreI won't lie, I was nervous. I haven't studied for and taken a test in a long long time. And prior to this course, I knew literally NOTHING about flying. It took me a good while just to find the course I wanted to take - I went to the usual suspects, but something about them felt either a bit too gimmicky, like something I'd see on a 3am infomercial, or the other end of the spectrum, waaaaaay too serious, like something I'd expect in boot camp. This one felt, well, comfortable. He was approachable, he had a way of making some of the complicated stuff a little less intimidating, and his pace was perfect. I went through the course once, took a few practice exams, did well enough to pass, but wanted to make SURE, so I went through the course a second time, and took a few more practice exams. I walked into the exam room confident and walked out with an 88%. Thanks for doing this John. I appreciate you.

Read MoreThis program presented by John is an amazing tool for gaining the knowledge needed to understand all concepts in the sUAS knowledge test. It really makes you understand how to find the answers with short, very well put together videos you can learn a lot in no time at all. In 2 weeks I went from knowing absolutely nothing to passing my test with a 90% only learning after work before bed. This course is the best value out there. You won't be disappointed it's just as good if not better than any other training school out there!
