The FAA publishes the whole chart. It doesn't explain any of it. Type an address and
we will, in plain English. Good for learning it the first time, and for brushing up before you fly.
Free, no signup, permanently. Not a trial and not a promotion.
Type an address, tap the map, or use your location. You will see the airspace
class, its floor, and whether Part 107 needs ATC authorization there.
Not for navigation. Study material, not authority.
Nothing about your location leaves your device except an address you type (geocoded, never stored).
Open the full tool for weather, sharing and the layer controls.
No sales pitch. Just what you get and how to use it.
Why this is different
Most study apps make you memorize. This one teaches you.
Here's the trap. You buy a question bank. You drill the same 300 questions until you recognize them. You walk into the exam having learned the answers instead of the material. It works right up until the FAA rewords a question. Then you're guessing.
We built the opposite. Every question comes with an explanation that teaches the concept underneath it. When the wording changes, you still know the answer. And the app pays attention. Miss two airspace questions and it quietly moves airspace to the front of your queue. You don't plan your studying. It tells you what to do next every time you open it.
A real course that adapts to you, not a pile of flashcards.
It teaches, then tests. Lessons first, in plain language, with the reason behind every rule.
It finds your weak spot. Miss something and it comes back later, on a schedule, until it sticks.
It hands you the tool. When a lesson needs a chart or a weather report, the right tool opens right there.
I built this because I never learned well by memorizing either. I learn by doing, and nothing out there taught it that way. So I made the thing I needed.

Train on the real test charts
Learn on a chart that explains itself. Get tested on one that doesn't.
Every lookup starts on our clear, annotated version, where the ring or symbol you're being asked about is called out. Then the annotations come off and you work the real FAA figure with nothing marked, the way it arrives on test day. The point isn't to recognize a particular chart. It's to be able to read one you've never opened before.
Learn mode: our clean, annotated chart in true FAA colors on cream, with the ring, symbol, or number called out so the lookup clicks.
Normal and Hard modes: the real FAA figure, no annotations, no labels pointing at the answer. Work it the way you'll have to work it.
The skill, not the booklet
On test day you get a chart you have never opened before.
The FAA still hands you the paper supplement, and it still carries the legends and tables you'll want, so the course still teaches it. What's changing is what memorizing it buys you. From October 27, 2026 the FAA draws the exam's chart images from current sectional charts instead of the preview booklet, and says plainly that those images can't be previewed. Knowing figure numbers stops helping. Reading a chart cold starts deciding the question, so that's what we drill: find the airport, read the line's color and texture, then separate the floors from the ceilings, in that order, on whatever chart you're handed. FAA testing advisory, April 2026.
The steps below are the exact cycle that gets you exam-ready, tracked right in the app. It isn't a hoop to jump through for a refund. It's the thing that works. Here are the three steps:
Complete all lessons in the course, and
Score 85% or higher on three full practice exams, each on a separate day (at least one a full Exam-Day simulation), and
Take your FAA exam while it's fresh.
And if you don't pass anyway, tell us. Send your knowledge test report. The ACS codes printed on it name the exact topics you missed, which means they name the exact topics we taught badly. That's the most useful thing anyone can send us, and it's the only thing we're asking for.
There's no refund, because you didn't pay anything. You're risking your time, not your money. The FAA's testing fee goes to the testing center, not to us. More on how this works →
The price
Free
It's free. Everything we've built: the full Part 107 course, every practice question, and the tools. No card, no trial, no upsell.
There's no guarantee, because there's nothing to guarantee. You're not paying us, so there's no purchase, no refund, and no money-back window. You're risking your time, not your money, and we think that's the more expensive thing anyway. If you fail the FAA exam, we want your knowledge test report: the codes on it tell us exactly which topics we taught badly. That's the only thing we're asking for.More on that →

FAQ
Is this affiliated with the FAA?
No. It's independent study material. Always verify against faa.gov, 14 CFR Part 107, and the FAA ACS. Rules change; we tell you where to confirm.
How is this different from Pilot Institute or Drone Pilot Ground School?
Those are excellent video courses. This is a different approach. Instead of hours of video, you get an adaptive question engine that finds and fixes your specific weak spots, plus interactive tools and a readiness score. Open it and see which style fits you: there is no demo tier to try first, because the whole course is already open.
Do I need to already be a certificated pilot?
No. DroneWorthy is exam prep; it gets you ready to pass the FAA Part 107 knowledge test, from scratch.
Is the content current?
Yes: it's written to the current FAA Part 107 rules and ACS, including Remote ID and night operations. We tell you where to verify anything against faa.gov.
Is the live chart really free?
Yes: the interactive live chart and the one-page Sectional Chart Cheat Sheet are free, no login. They're the same teaching you get in the full course.
What if I'm bad at reading charts?
That's exactly what we rebuilt around. The airspace track teaches the chart the way it actually works, texture first, then color, with an interactive trainer, so it finally clicks.
Is it a subscription?
No. No subscription, and nothing to pay.
Do I need internet to study?
No. Install it once and it works fully offline on your phone or computer.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes, on as many as you like. There is no account and no device limit, so there is nothing to unlock and no slot to free up. One thing worth knowing before you start: your progress is saved on the device you studied on, so it does not follow you from your phone to your laptop. On iPhone or iPad, add it to your Home Screen and it keeps working offline.
What does the exam itself cost?
The FAA charges $175, paid to the testing center. That's separate from DroneWorthy and it's the only thing about this that costs you money.
What if I fail?
Tell us. Send your knowledge test report. The ACS codes on it name the topics you missed, which are the topics we taught badly. There's nothing to refund, because you didn't pay us anything. More on how this works →
Not ready for the whole course? Take the one page that teaches you to read any sectional.
A printable cheat sheet for reading a sectional chart cold: the four-step read, the six looks that tell you the airspace class, the solid-versus-faded magenta trap, and MSL against AGL. Keep it beside you while you study. Enter your email and download it instantly. No spam.

Want to hear when one of the other courses opens?
The Part 107 course is built and open right now, and it is free. The others are not built yet and there is no date for them. Pick the one you came for, leave your email, and you will hear from us when it opens.
