CertboundWhere do you get the FAA-CT-8080-2H PDF?
The FAA lists it on its testing supplements page with a 2018 publication date and an effective date of June 11, 2018. The PDF itself is 113 pages and about 176 MB, so let it finish downloading before you open it. Printed copies sold by bookstores reproduce the same FAA document.
At the test, you do not bring your own. The PSI UAG bulletin says the test center supplies the required supplement book, scratch paper and a writing instrument.
What is inside?
The preface says this edition supersedes FAA-CT-8080-2G and serves more than twenty knowledge tests, from sport pilot to private pilot. Unmanned Aircraft General–Small (UAG), the Part 107 test, is one of them. Most pages are meant for other tests.
- Appendix 1 holds Legends 1 to 19: the sectional chart legend and the Chart Supplement legends.
- Appendix 2 holds the numbered figures: weather reports, charts and tables, sectional chart excerpts, airport diagrams and aircraft performance graphs.
Airplane weight-and-balance tables, gyroplane and glider graphs, and balloon performance charts serve other tests. For Part 107, the parts to know well are the sectional chart excerpts, the weather products, the airport diagrams and markings, and the legends.
Which figures do Part 107 questions use?
The FAA's 2021 UAG sample questions refer to eight figures. Each link below opens that question in Certbound's free practice set, with the figure beside it.
| Figure | What it shows | Sample question |
|---|---|---|
| Figure 2 | Load factor chart | Question 7 |
| Figure 12 | Aviation routine weather reports (METAR) | Question 25, 26 |
| Figure 20 | Sectional chart excerpt | Question 9, 14 |
| Figure 21 | Sectional chart excerpt | Question 10, 24 |
| Figure 22 | Sectional chart excerpt | Question 5 |
| Figure 23 | Sectional chart excerpt | Question 8 |
| Figure 26 | Sectional chart excerpt | Question 13, 18, 31 |
| Figure 59 | Sectional chart excerpt | Question 30 |
These are published study questions. The real test draws on more of the supplement than this sample does, so do not memorize only these eight figures.
How should you study with the figures?
- Open the legend first. Legend 1 in the supplement explains the sectional symbols, and most chart questions turn on one of them. The sectional chart legend guide walks through the common ones.
- Find the place the question names, such as an airport, area number or landmark, before reading the answer choices.
- Write down the unit. Airspace floors and obstacle heights on a sectional are often in feet MSL, not height above the ground.
- Practice on a chart you have not seen. The sectional chart questions and METAR and TAF decoder give you more to read.
The supplement's charts are historical training excerpts. Do not use them for flight planning; current charts come from the FAA's aeronautical charts page.
Does the October 26, 2026 change replace the supplement?
Not yet. The FAA's September 2026 testing advisory says that starting October 26, 2026, the UAG test will include image-based questions that are not in the testing supplement, using images from current sectional charts. The same advisory says the date for removing supplements from test centers has not been set, and that candidates keep access to their supplement until then.
So keep studying with FAA-CT-8080-2H, and also practice on current charts you have not seen before. The October 26 exam change page covers what the advisory says in more detail.
Where Certbound fits
The free 46-question practice set uses the FAA sample questions and their supplement figures. The FAA publishes no answer key for that sample, so the answers and explanations are Certbound's, and each one shows the source it relies on. Sources checked October 22, 2026.
