    The first item in the list is “Applicable sections of parts 61 and 91 of this chapter.” IOW knowledge of the FARs that apply to you as a student pilot flying solo in regulated and unregulated airspace.

    So, since the first item on the list of things to be tested is your knowledge of the applicable regulations, get out your book with the FAR in it and go to FAR 61.87. That’s the reg that discusses the requirements for student pilot solo. 61.87(b) list what must be on the knowledge test.
