Part 107 chart questions on current sectionals
Which frequency is the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) at MILLVILLE MUNI (MIV)?
What the new chart questions look like on the real test
Three test-taker reports so far (October 27, 29 and 30, 2026): 3 to 10 chart questions each. One saw mostly Testing Supplement figures (Minot among them); one had 2 supplement figures and 3 charts never seen before, asking surface airspace under shaded magenta, a lighted tower's height and obstacles near a point; the third (scored 100%) had at least 3 cropped-chart questions, two of them asking which airspace a small magenta airport with no markings sits in; the crops also asked a CTAF frequency and what to do when shooting real-estate photos near an airport, and a wider sectional asked the airspace 400 feet above a tower you had to inspect (Class C, authorization required). The supplement figures are explained one by one here, so practice both. New to sectionals? Read the worked example first.
How these questions were made
Each image is a 640 × 480 crop, at full print resolution, of a current FAA sectional chart (edition of Sep 3, 2026, public domain). We only wrote questions whose answer is fixed by FAA data, and checked every answer against it. Then a second reviewer answered each question looking only at the image. We made 36; all 36 matched and 28 are published: 13 here and 15 inside the Part 107 Pass.
| Question type | Checked against | Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Airport elevation, CTAF and tower frequencies | FAA NASR airport (APT) and frequency (FRQ) files | Cycles of Sep 3 and Oct 1, 2026; only values identical in both |
| Class B, C and D floors and ceilings | FAA Class Airspace data (NASR) | Subscription effective Oct 1, 2026 |
| Class E to the surface | FAA NASR class airspace (CLS_ARSP) file | Cycles of Sep 3 and Oct 1, 2026 |
| Obstacle heights (MSL and AGL) | FAA Digital Obstacle File (DOF), verified obstacles | Daily file of Oct 8, 2026 |
| VOR frequencies | FAA NASR navaid (NAV) file | Cycles of Sep 3 and Oct 1, 2026 |
| Restricted areas | FAA Special Use Airspace data (ADDS) | Queried Oct 9, 2026 |
Practice images only, not for navigation. The FAA's own warning about the real test applies: “Once an image is embedded in a test question, it becomes an integral part of that question. Consequently, the specific images used in active test questions cannot be previewed, as doing so would compromise the exam's integrity.” (FAA advisory, p. 5). Found an answer you think is wrong?

Frequently asked questions
Are these the real FAA Part 107 test questions?
No. They are practice in the style of the FAA's published samples. The FAA says the images used in active test questions cannot be previewed. These use crops of the current FAA sectional charts, and every answer is checked against FAA data.
What changes on the Part 107 test on October 26, 2026?
The FAA says: "Beginning October 26, 2026, the Instrument Rating Airplane (IRA) and Unmanned Aircraft General-Small (UAG) tests will include image-based questions not found in the test supplements (see examples below)." The supplement stays available at the test center until the FAA announces its removal.
How do you know each answer is right?
Each answer comes from an FAA database (airports and frequencies, class airspace, obstacles, navaids or special use airspace) and must match what is printed on the chart crop. A second reviewer then answered every question looking only at the image; questions where the two disagreed were not published.
Which sectional charts are used?
The Washington, Seattle and Las Vegas sectionals, edition of Sep 3, 2026, downloaded from the FAA (public domain). Each image says so in its bottom strip and is marked not for navigation.
Do I still need to read the chart if I use a LAANC app?
For flying, the app tells you the ceiling at your spot. For the test, no. PSI test centers do not let you use a phone or an app at the computer: the only thing on screen is the chart image and the question. The Remote Pilot ACS (area UA.II.A) tests reading the chart itself: which airspace class a point is in, the floor and ceiling printed in the sector label, and what the symbols mean. A test-taker who sat the exam on Oct 30, 2026 reported 8 to 10 chart-image questions out of 60, and one who sat it on Oct 29 was asked twice which airspace a small magenta airport with no markings sits in (Class G up to 700 feet AGL under the shaded vignette), so the chart is worth learning for the one hour the app is not in your hand.
