How can I find testing centers in my area?▼
You can use our interactive map above or use the search bar to enter your city, state, or zip code. We map out all 700+ FAA-approved PSI testing centers across the country.
I found a Test Center nearby on the "Find a Test Center" webpage, but when I go to register, the Testing Center does not appear.▼
If a testing center appears on the map but is missing from the PSI registration portal, it means that specific center does not currently have any open appointment slots available, or they temporarily paused FAA testing. Check back later or select the next closest location.
Why can't I edit my name on the registration page?▼
Your name in the PSI testing system is directly tied to your FAA IACRA profile. If your name is incorrect, you must log into your IACRA account, update your profile there, and allow up to 24 hours for the systems to sync.
What is an FTN?▼
An FTN (FAA Tracking Number) is a unique identifier assigned to you when you register in the IACRA system. You must generate an FTN before you are allowed to schedule your Part 107 exam with PSI.
What is IACRA?▼
IACRA (Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application) is the web-based certification application that guides you through the FAA's airman application process. It ensures you meet regulatory requirements before issuing a certificate.
What is the price for an Airman Knowledge Test (AKT)?▼
The standard cost for the FAA Part 107 Airman Knowledge Test is $175. This fee is payable directly to PSI when you schedule your exam online.
What do I need to bring with me to my FAA AKT appointment?▼
You must bring a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID (like a driver's license or passport) that includes your signature and physical residential address. If your ID does not show your current physical address, you must bring a secondary document (like a utility bill) to prove residency.
What identification and test authorization is required to take or retake an FAA Airman Knowledge Test?▼
For the initial Part 107 exam, you only need your valid government-issued photo ID showing physical address and your FTN. If you are retaking the test after failing, you must bring your expired/failed Airman Knowledge Test Report (AKTR). You do not need a CFI endorsement for the initial Part 107 exam.
Do all knowledge tests require an "endorsement" before someone can take the test?▼
No. The initial Unmanned Aircraft General - Small (UAG) test for Part 107 does not require an instructor endorsement. You can self-study and take the test at any time.
What test aids and materials am I allowed to bring?▼
You may bring a basic calculator (non-programmable, without memory), a transparent plotter, and a magnifying glass (which is highly recommended, as the maps in the testing supplement book are notoriously small). The testing center will provide scratch paper, pencils, and the printed Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement book. No phones or smartwatches are allowed.
Can I reschedule my FAA AKT?▼
Yes. You can reschedule your exam through the PSI True Talent website without penalty as long as you do so at least 24 hours before your scheduled appointment time.
Can I cancel my FAA AKT registration?▼
Yes, you can cancel and receive a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours prior to your appointment time. If you no-show or cancel late, you will forfeit your $175 testing fee.
What is ACS?▼
ACS stands for Airman Certification Standards. It is the comprehensive document published by the FAA that outlines exactly what aeronautical knowledge is required to pass the test. Every question on the Part 107 exam is tied to a specific ACS code.
I am a member of the U.S. Military. Am I eligible to take an FAA exam for free?▼
Yes, eligible military personnel may take the exam for free, but only at designated military testing centers. If you test at a standard public PSI testing center, you must pay the standard $175 fee.
I lost my score report. How do I obtain a replacement?▼
You can print a replacement Airman Knowledge Test Report (AKTR) directly from your PSI account online. The report will have an embossed-like seal digitally printed on it, which is accepted by the FAA.
