Part 107 Practice Test

Part 107 Airspace & Charts Practice Questions

Airspace & Charts makes up 10 of every 50 questions on a Tigertest Part 107 practice test. Here are 10 of the 40 questions on it, each with the answer and the reason.

Updated 2026-11-10 by the Tigertest team. Weighted to the FAA Remote Pilot ACS. The real test adds sectional chart figures, so study a chart legend too.

1. 1. On a sectional chart, which marking shows the lateral boundaries of Class B airspace?

   • A.Dashed blue lines
   • B.Solid blue lines
   • C.Dashed magenta lines
   • D.Solid magenta lines

   Answer: B. Class B is charted with solid blue lines. Solid magenta marks Class C, dashed blue marks Class D, and dashed magenta marks a Class E surface area.

2. 2. A remote pilot sees a towered airport surrounded by solid magenta rings on a sectional chart. Which class of airspace surrounds the airport?

   • A.Class B
   • B.Class D
   • C.Class E surface area
   • D.Class C

   Answer: D. Solid magenta lines depict Class C airspace. Class B is solid blue, Class D is dashed blue, and a Class E surface area is dashed magenta.

3. 3. A remote PIC plans a roof inspection inside a dashed blue boundary around a towered airport. What must be obtained before the flight?

   • A.ATC authorization, for example through LAANC
   • B.Permission from the airport's fixed-base operator
   • C.Nothing, if the aircraft stays below 400 ft AGL
   • D.A Remote ID waiver from the FAA

   Answer: A. A dashed blue line marks Class D airspace, and 14 CFR 107.41 requires prior ATC authorization to operate in Class B, C, or D airspace or a Class E surface area. Staying below 400 ft AGL does not remove that requirement.

4. 4. What does a dashed magenta line drawn around an airport on a sectional chart indicate?

   • A.Class E airspace beginning at 700 ft AGL
   • B.The outer area of Class C airspace around a busy airport
   • C.Class E airspace extending upward from the surface
   • D.Class D airspace around a towered field

   Answer: C. A dashed magenta line marks a Class E surface area, which requires ATC authorization under 14 CFR 107.41. Class E beginning at 700 ft AGL is shown by a shaded magenta vignette, and Class D is dashed blue.

5. 5. A remote pilot plans to fly at 350 ft AGL inside the shaded magenta vignette near a nontowered airport, well clear of any surface area. Which airspace is the aircraft in?

   • A.Class E airspace from the surface
   • B.Class D airspace
   • C.Class G airspace
   • D.Class E airspace beginning at 700 ft AGL

   Answer: C. The magenta vignette shows Class E airspace with a floor of 700 ft AGL, so the airspace below 700 ft AGL is Class G. At 350 ft AGL the aircraft is in Class G and needs no ATC authorization.

6. 6. Away from airports, in areas of a sectional chart with no vignette or other shading, where does Class E airspace typically begin?

   • A.1,200 ft AGL
   • B.14,500 ft AGL
   • C.18,000 ft MSL
   • D.700 ft AGL

   Answer: A. Over most of the United States, Class E begins at 1,200 ft AGL where no other floor is charted, with Class G below it. The 700 ft AGL floor is marked by a magenta vignette, and 18,000 ft MSL is the base of Class A.

7. 7. Which class of airspace begins at 18,000 ft MSL and is not available for small unmanned aircraft operations?

   • A.Class B
   • B.Class E
   • C.Class G
   • D.Class A

   Answer: D. Class A extends from 18,000 ft MSL up to FL600 and is used for IFR traffic; it is far above the 400 ft AGL limit in 14 CFR 107.51. Classes B and E may be entered with authorization or rules, and Class G is uncontrolled.

8. 8. A dashed blue box inside a Class D boundary on a sectional chart contains the number 32. What does this number represent?

   • A.Longest runway length of 3,200 ft
   • B.Class D ceiling of 3,200 ft MSL
   • C.Class D floor of 3,200 ft AGL
   • D.Airport elevation of 3,200 ft MSL

   Answer: B. The number in a Class D segment box is the ceiling of the Class D airspace in hundreds of feet MSL, so 32 means 3,200 ft MSL. Class D starts at the surface, and runway length and elevation appear in the airport data block.

9. 9. A Class D segment box shows [-28] and the airport elevation is 800 ft MSL. What is the upper limit of the Class D airspace?

   • A.Up to and including 2,800 ft AGL
   • B.Up to but not including 2,800 ft MSL
   • C.Up to 2,000 ft MSL
   • D.Up to 3,600 ft MSL, after adding field elevation

   Answer: B. Class D ceilings are in hundreds of feet MSL, and a minus sign means up to but not including that altitude, usually because overlying airspace begins there. The field elevation is not added to the charted value.

10. 10. A Class B segment on a sectional chart is labeled 70 over 40. What do these numbers mean?

    • A.Radius of 7 NM; ceiling of 4,000 ft MSL above the airport
    • B.Ceiling 7,000 ft AGL; floor 4,000 ft AGL
    • C.Floor 7,000 ft MSL; ceiling 4,000 ft MSL
    • D.Ceiling 7,000 ft MSL; floor 4,000 ft MSL

    Answer: D. Class B and Class C segments show the ceiling over the floor in hundreds of feet MSL. The ceiling is the top of that segment and the floor is its base, so 70 over 40 means 7,000 ft MSL down to 4,000 ft MSL.
