Applicants who do not meet the requirements in 14 CFR part 107, section 107.61(d)(2) must pass the knowledge test before applying for a Remote Pilot Certificate with an sUAS rating. The certification knowledge test consists of objective, multiple-choice questions. There is a single correct response for each test question. Each test question is independent of other questions. A correct response to one question does not depend upon, or influence, the correct response to another. The knowledge test applicant has up to two hours to complete the test.
