Reading a sectional chart is the single highest-weighted skill on the FAA Part 107 exam — and the one a PDF can't teach. These free modules let you zoom, tap, and decode real chart features until it's second nature.

The single most-missed FAA Part 107 code. Seven questions on the four over-people categories and the Declaration of Compliance — including who is responsible when you build or modify the drone yourself.
Plan a drone route across live airspace. Walk guided scenarios or draw your own, and decide where you need authorization, where your LAANC clearance stops, and what to do about restricted areas and TFRs.
Eight questions on the highest-tested airspace concepts — entry and authorization for Classes B through G, LAANC, the wedding-cake structure, and sectional-chart symbology.
Free flashcard sample for the two highest-weight exam topics — Airspace & Weather (30 terms). Flip, mark what you know, and drill what you miss. Full 95-term deck in the Vocabulary Cards.
Decode three real-format METARs field by field — station ID, wind (with gusts), visibility, sky condition codes (SKC/FEW/SCT/BKN/OVC), temp/dewpoint, and altimeter. Each field links to its Part 107 weather minimum.
The decoder's scored sequel: read a real-format METAR and make the Part 107 go / no-go call. Eight questions on visibility and ceiling minimums, the 500-ft cloud-clearance math, wind, and fog risk — each tied to §107.51.
Five questions on the highest-leverage chart skills: identify airspace classes, read obstruction heights, and decode airport data blocks.
A guided lesson on a real FAA sectional excerpt (Figure 23). Learn the magenta rings, read the ceiling/floor fractions, and work up to labeling the chart on your own.
Read the coordinate grid on a real sectional (Figure 21): parallels, meridians, minute ticks, and locating airports by position.
Decode a non-towered airport's data block on a real sectional (Figure 22): CTAF, field elevation, runway length, and weather frequencies.
Master every boundary style on the sectional: solid vs. dashed, blue vs. magenta, faded Class E floors, and special-use hatching.
Airspace and chart reading is the largest single block on the Part 107 exam — roughly a quarter of the questions — and nearly every one references a sectional excerpt. You can't learn to read a chart by reading about a chart.
Each module uses a gradual-release model: it teaches the symbol, guides your first few answers, then fades the scaffolding until you're labeling the chart alone — the exact skill test day demands.
These drills are even better in a class. The free DroneReady LMS adds student logins, auto-graded quizzes, flashcard mastery, and a teacher gradebook — built on this same content.
