Ways to buy
The Part 107 Library
Each volume does a single job. The full guide teaches every topic in depth, the supplement holds the charts and figures the test refers to, and the Fast Track condenses it all for the final week. Every practice question points you back to the exact page to restudy.
Why Aneroid Press
The FAA doesn't tell you which pages matter for your test. We did that work for you.
Beyond a study guide last revised in 2016, the FAA gives applicants a reading list: regulations, advisory circulars, handbooks, the Aeronautical Information Manual and safety alerts, written for different audiences and revised on different schedules. Most of those pages have nothing to do with flying a drone.
We read every document on the list against the test, pulled what the test draws on into one sequence, explained it in plain language and cited each point to its source so you can check it. Your study time goes into learning the material, not hunting for it.

FAA Part 107, Remote Pilot
Study guides for the Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG) knowledge test. The 18 FAA references on the official study list, more than 2,000 pages, organized into one course. Printed to order and shipped direct, with digital editions that update throughout the year. Why it matters
The FAA Prep Library
Part 107 is the first series. Each one that follows uses the same method, shaped to its test: a complete study guide, the figures the test uses, a guide for the final stretch or the practical test and an exam engine that routes every miss back to the page. Each certificate has its own cover color, so the shelf reads at a glance.
FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician series, in preparation
One book for each knowledge test, one supplement for the figures all three tests share and one guide for the oral and practical tests with your examiner.
New to aviation maintenance? Start here
The FAA issues one Mechanic Certificate. It carries an Airframe rating, a Powerplant rating, or both. Holding both is what people mean by an A&P. You can earn one rating now and add the other later.
Every applicant passes the General knowledge test first, whichever rating they want. Then comes the knowledge test for each rating sought, and finally oral and practical tests with an FAA Designated Mechanic Examiner.
One certificate. Either rating alone, or both for the full A&P.
Diagram, not an actual certificateAble to read, write, speak and understand English. §65.71
A Part 147 school, or 18 months of practical experience for one rating, or 30 months for both. §65.77
General first, then Airframe and/or Powerplant, then the oral and practical tests. §§65.75 and 65.79
All required tests must be passed within a 24-month period. §65.71
Volume Four, the Chart and Figure Supplement, is used alongside all three written tests.

After you pass
What you need on day one, what belongs in the case and what to look for in each. Written for Part 107 work, not for hobby flying.
Required for Part 107 flights. The rules are in the regulations cited on each item.
FAA requiredPart 89
Drones flown under Part 107 must broadcast Remote ID, built in or through a broadcast module, unless flown inside an FAA-recognized identification area (Part 89).
Tip: Check the FAA's list of declared Remote ID drones and modules before you buy.
FAA required§§48.200 and 48.205
Label the aircraft with its FAA registration number before it flies (§§48.200 and 48.205).
Look for: A durable, weatherproof label or engraving on an exterior surface you can read without tools.
Recommended for the flight case
Keep the aircraft flying and the batteries safe.
Many jobs take more than one battery, and a spare is your reserve.
Tip: Buy the maker's own batteries; add a charger that fills several in sequence.
Lithium-polymer batteries can catch fire when damaged or overcharged.
Look for: A fire-resistant storage bag or case for charging and transport.
Set up a clear launch point and keep the aircraft airworthy.
Keeps dust and grass out of the motors and gives a clear launch point.
Look for: Weighted or staked, high-visibility, at least twice the drone's width.
A nicked propeller fails preflight (§107.15).
Look for: A full set per aircraft, plus the tool to change them.
Tells bystanders and site crews who is in charge of the flight.
Look for: ANSI-rated, in orange or yellow.
Check the wind and keep your screen readable.
Wind at the launch point is often stronger than the forecast says.
Look for: Reads gusts and average speed in knots or mph.
Bright sun washes out the controller screen and hides warnings.
Look for: Fits your phone, tablet or smart controller.
Polarized lenses can black out some screens at certain angles.
Tip: Test them against your controller screen before a flight.

Why practice questions work. Practice testing and spreading study over time are the two techniques rated most effective in a major review of learning research (Dunlosky et al., 2013). In one classic study, students who tested themselves remembered 56% of the material a week later, against 42% for students who reread it (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006). Our questions are original, written to the FAA's published knowledge areas. The FAA keeps its active test questions confidential, so no practice question from any publisher is a real test question.

Aneroid Press Monthly
What is on the test, a worked practice question with the reason every option is right or wrong, and anything the FAA has changed. Every issue stays here to read, with no sign-up needed.
About these first issues. Aneroid Press Monthly launches with the October 2026 issue. The May through September issues below were written as a back catalog while the 2027-2028 Edition was being produced, and they carry the same study material we were working from at the time. Nothing here was mailed before October 2026.
Military & Veterans
The remote pilot certificate is a civilian credential many service members and veterans can fund through programs they already have.
Three steps to fund it
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard credentialing programs can help active-duty, Guard and Reserve members pay for approved civilian credentials, including the FAA remote pilot certificate. Coverage and approved vendors vary by service. Start with your service's COOL site and your education office.
Eligible veterans can use GI Bill benefits to be reimbursed for approved licensing and certification test fees. Search the VA's WEAMS licensing and certification listings to confirm the FAA test is covered for you. Reimbursement covers the test fee, not study materials. VA also approves some test-preparation courses; Aneroid Press is not on that list yet. VA fact sheet, DoD COOL
Education centers, units and transition programs can order sets in quantity with a purchase order or government purchase card.
Colleges, training companies and clubs
A complete ground-school text with a matching chart supplement and question bank, organized to the FAA's knowledge areas and ready to drop into a syllabus.
Review the full set before you adopt it.
Chapter-by-chapter mapping to the FAA knowledge areas, with suggested reading for each class session.
Seat licenses with a roster view, so instructors can see which knowledge areas the class is missing.
Order direct with a purchase order, or, once the books are listed, through your campus bookstore via Ingram's catalog.
In preparation: the five-volume Maintenance series follows the Aviation Mechanic ACS, with one volume per knowledge test plus a shared figure supplement and an oral and practical guide. See the series.
Instructor Resource Kit, free with adoption
Adopt an Aneroid Press series for your students and your instructors receive the complete teaching kit at no additional cost. Teach it in the classroom, use it alongside your own lectures or run the whole course online.
A deck for each chapter, with speaker notes written as a full script: what to say, timing, questions to ask and common student mistakes. PowerPoint, Google Slides and PDF handouts.
Objectives, minute-by-minute timing, ACS alignment and guidance for 50-minute, 90-minute and self-paced formats.
Guided exercises on the Chart and Figure Supplement plates, worked calculations, scenarios and discussion questions, with answer keys.
Quizzes, chapter tests and a final exam, with answer keys and rationales. Kept separate from the student Exam Engine, so students haven't seen the items.
Ready-to-edit syllabi for an 8-week course, a 16-week semester and a weekend intensive.
Every lesson mapped to the FAA knowledge areas and Airman Certification Standards codes, for your course records and FAA-approved curricula.
The full course packaged to import into Canvas, Blackboard or Moodle, with quizzes ready to auto-grade.
Student licenses plus an instructor view showing which knowledge areas the class is missing, so you know what to reteach.
Part 107 kit first. Private Pilot and Maintenance kits follow each series.
About the press
An aneroid is the sealed, corrugated capsule inside an altimeter. It flexes as the air pressure changes and drives the needle. Airplanes and helicopters carry one, and the barometric sensor in a drone does the same job. We chose the name because, like that capsule, the books should simply be accurate.
Every Aneroid Press book is built the same way: go to the FAA's own sources, cite each point to them and explain the reasoning rather than asking the reader to memorize answers. That holds for every series we publish, from Part 107 to Private Pilot and beyond.
The Part 107 series is written by an FAA-certificated remote pilot who passed the FAA's Part 107 knowledge test and holds a law degree. He reads each regulation the way law school teaches a statute to be read. The goal now is to help aviators at every stage, from their first remote pilot certificate through the Private Pilot, Instrument, Commercial and ATP tests, and on to aviation maintenance and helicopter certificates.
After Part 107, the library expands to the Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Flight Instructor, Commercial, ATP and Aviation Maintenance Technician knowledge tests, with helicopter titles to follow.

In short: we publish honest reviews, good and bad, under one set of rules.
About a month after an order, we ask every customer for an honest review, whatever their test result. We do not pay for reviews, reward them or ask for a particular rating, and we do not write or edit them.
We publish every review that is about our books or tools. We remove only reviews that are fake, abusive, about something else or that share someone's personal information, and that rule applies the same way to positive and negative reviews. When a review raises a problem, we reply publicly and fix what we can.
In short: books are printed to order, and we replace any damaged, misprinted or lost book at no charge.
Printed books are printed to order and then shipped direct. In-transit times after printing:
| Shipping | In transit after printing | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 5–8 business days | $7.95 |
| Priority | 3–4 business days | $14.95 |
| Express | 2 business days | $29.95 |
A tracking number is emailed when your books ship. Digital editions and the Exam Engine are available as soon as you order.
If a book arrives damaged, misprinted or incomplete, report it within 14 days of delivery. If a package never arrives, report it within 14 days of its expected delivery date. Either way, we will replace it at no charge.
In short: the site works with a keyboard and follows your device settings, and we will help if anything is hard to use.
We design and evaluate the site and the Exam Engine against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. That evaluation is our own and is not an independent audit: we check every view in both light and dark schemes for text contrast, a visible focus indicator on each control, a working skip link, correct landmarks, one main heading per view, and text alternatives on graphics. Every page works with a keyboard, images carry text descriptions, motion is reduced when your device asks for it, and the site follows your device's light or dark setting. The Exam Engine includes an untimed mode.
If anything is hard to use, or you need a book in another format, email info@aneroidpress.com and we will help.
