Date revised: June 28, 2016 Date effective: August 29, 2016 The fllwing sample exam fr Unmanned Aircraft General (UAG) is suitable study material fr the Remte Pilt Certificate with a small UAS Rating. These questins are a representatin f questins that can be fund n all Unmanned Aircraft General tests. The applicant must realize that these questins are t be used as a study guide, and are nt necessarily actual test questins. The full UAG test cntains 60 questins. The Applicatin Identificatin, Infrmatin Verificatin and Authrizatin Requirements Matrix lists all FAA exams (matrix fr UAS is attached until test activatin). It is available at http://www.faa.gv/training_testing/testing/media/testing_matrix.pdf. The FAA testing system is supprted by a series f supplement publicatins. These publicatins include the graphics, legends, and maps that are needed t successfully respnd t certain test questins. The FAA-CT-8080-2G, Airman Knwledge Testing Supplement fr Sprt Pilt, Recreatinal Pilt, and Private Pilt has the supplemental graphics necessary t assist in answering any questin n a UAG exam referring t a figure. It is available at http://www.faa.gv/training_testing/testing/test_questins/media/sprt_rec_private_akts.pdf. The Learning Statement Reference Guide fr Airman Knwledge Testing cntains listings f learning statements with their assciated cdes. Matching the learning statement cdes with the cdes listed n yur Airman Knwledge Test Reprt assists in the evaluatin f knwledge areas missed n yur exam.
