How many weather questions are on the Part 107 test?

The FAA publishes a band rather than a fixed count: Appendix 1 of the Airman Certification Standards gives Weather 11–16% of the test. On a 60-question test that is roughly 7 to 10 questions; the full-length mock on this site deals 8.

Not on this page. These sets are for learning the area — each answer comes with an explanation, the ACS code and the document the fact came from. The full-length mock runs the real clock: 60 questions in 120 minutes.

Are these real questions from the FAA test?

No. The FAA’s item bank is confidential and nobody outside the agency has it. Every question here is original, written to the published format — three options, one correct response — and every one carries the ACS element it tests and the document its facts came from.

In the METAR report “METAR KDPA 121853Z AUTO 21016G28KT 2SM +TSRA BKN007 OVC015CB 19/18 A2981”, what is the wind?

What this area asks

Half of this area is decoding: a METAR and a TAF are dense, abbreviated and entirely learnable, and questions on them are free marks once the format is familiar. The other half is density altitude and stability — why a hot, humid, high afternoon gives a small aircraft less to work with, and which clouds are telling you the air is about to become violent.

This is the specification the real test is written to. Every question above carries the code of the element it tests, and a real Airman Knowledge Test Report gives you those codes back for the ones you get wrong.
