I'm scheduled to go take the 107 Knowledge Test for the first time on Friday (1/15/2021). Will any of the new rules regarding remote ID and nighttime flying that were announced recently be added to the test by then? Or does anyone know when to expect them if not?

Also if not, thoughts on if it would it be worth delaying the test until they are? I'm particularly interested in being allowed easier nighttime flying. Maybe we'll be able to just take a smaller version of the test to certify directly for that?

Thanks!

Most likely included in test revision(s) just prior or just after implementation. I’m sure FAA and PSI are already thinking about it. Most likely, the testing for recreational pilot will also finally be implemented at that time as well. But then again, FAA is government. . . Remember, “Hi, we’re from the government and we’re here to help!

And if you took the test prior to March 1st you only need to take the nighttime training available starting March 1st.

The rule itself though doesn't go into effect until March 16th.

You were absolutely correct. None of the new material was on there. I reached out to others who didn't think the topics would be on there for another 6 months. And I passed the test! :) Thanks again for the reassurance.
