FAA Part 107 Air Traffic Patterns

Airplanes circling runway questions drone exam. Mr. Mig goes over air traffic patterns for the FAA Part 107 Drone Exam. If you are studying to pass the unmanned aircraft licensure exam, watch this video to learn how to answer the questions that deal with air traffic. Specifically these are the questions that ask you the heading of an aircraft and where an aircraft is relative to the runway.
For more FAA Part 107 study information subscribe to Mr. Mig's Classroom and watch the other drone exam videos.

I had been so confused on several aspects of the part 107 exam until I found your videos. Thank you so much, these have been so tremendously helpful! I am way less anxious heading into the exam!

[@DoubleTFishing]

I have no idea why this channel doesn’t have 50k subscribers based on the part 107 content. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Double T thanks for the comment! That means a lot coming from a channel with over 4k subscribers. I am just going to keep adding videos and try to grind it up. I hope to get to where you are at one day!

OMG. LOL. I have studied this over and over and I kept getting it wrong. Just explaining what the left meant made the whole thing make sense. Thanks. left turn. uGGGGGGG.

[@SkyMaus]

Same, this has been tricky for me also. I don’t see others explaining simply as such as he

[@DonEdward]

After checking out many KZbin teachers for my part 107, I have to say Mr. Mig takes the cake as the best teacher! Each video is focused on the 1 thing I'm working on, and explains it concisely and perfectly! Thanks, Mr. Mig, you're the best!

[@enjoyjonboy]

Passed my exam in 3 days grinding Mr Mig videos. I studied for 8 hours a day and I received a 87%. Thank you Mr Mig!!!!

[@openmind06]

Best channel out there for 107 training! Thanks Mr Migs! Great work and much appreciated !

[@MrMigsClassroom]

I appreciate that!

[@kennyw871]

Slight clarification: RH turn patterns occur at airports when LH turn patterns are unsafe for any reason. It could be a shopping mall, race track, elevated terrain, towers, military instillations, etc., are located in the LH turn pattern. Great video, thanks.

[@barbarrosa503]

by far one of the most helpful study guides out there! just passed today mostly cause of these videos. if you are trying to learn for the test watch all of these videos!!! can't stress enough of how much these helped!

Thank you for breaking it down for us. I actually get it now.

[@davidfoust1987]

Taking my test tomorrow and I’ve watched quite a few videos. AS SOON as I saw your first video I haven’t been anywhere other than your channel! You probably already know this but you’re a phenomenal teacher. It shows you take pride in what you do and I really admire that. Oh and THANK YOU for taking the time to do this for all of us. Idk why I would have done lol

Good job explaining. I'm getting it.

[@JustinTime606]

Hey Mr. Mig's. Thanks for the content. Got my part 107 today and found your videos helpful. One thing I would maybe mention is I had 3 to 5 questions about airplanes that I had no idea how to answer. Haven't seen anyone on youtube talk about the things I was asked about. Thanks again for the great content! I paid for a course that was less useful than your videos.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

What were the airplane questions? Did they ask about a particular frequency or device for identification?

[@JustinTime606]

@@MrMigsClassroom I had one about the rudder and the yaw which I knew. But then there was one about moving the CG to the aft of the plane and there was another one right after that also about the aft of a plane but I can’t remember what the question was. Then there was one about planes turning. They felt like odd questions to me. I can look up the answer key if you want to know exactly what they were

[@rbsr7178]

I watched all vides and read all official study info on this topic and only after this video of yours I actually understood how it actually operates and now questions are so easy. Thank you very much.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Glad I could help!

[@SolarGuy605]

Hands down, Mr. Mig, you have the best content. I have been studying for a month and a half. I paid for Kings and everything. I still find you have the best explanations!

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Thank you!

[@Ryan.burger]

I kept getting the traffic pattern practice questions wrong so I went looking for a good explanation that would make it “stick” for me, and THIS did it. It was the combo of drawing out the aircraft turn direction and making it clear that these questions are talking about aircraft calling in prior to landing. I think that’s assumed, but for newbies, that isn’t clear

[@malcomjw]

I was struggling with the down wind, lane direction and such, but this video just really helped break it down. Thank you for making this detailed video!

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Last week I was going over this with my high school students. It is tough for them. But honestly once you get it these are easy questions.

[@jasongill9082]

Think of downwind as being like downstream in a river, going with the flow. The runway # tells you what direction the wind is coming from basically.

[@JonSinnen]

Thank you for the excellent breakdown of this information. I was really struggling with this until I watched your video. Great content that helped me easily pass the part 107 knowledge test.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Thanks Doug!

[@shadduck]

EXCELLENT! I'm going through your videos one at a time and each time I start one I actually LEARN something new! I've watched several others go through this (or similar) test question, and they always leave me "assuming" the direction of travel must have been determined by just "assuming" the predominant wind direction... Never have I heard it explained that runway 27 vs runway 9 tells the whole story that I was missing. Thank you!

[@MrMigsClassroom]

You are welcome!

[@SurLife]

Thank you... I tend to get confused with left turn, you made this very clear...

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Those questions tend to be tricky for my students. I am glad the video helped.

[@paulwv33]

I have been studying for my exam for a while and watched a lot of videos. Your explanation of runway numbers and headings finally made it click for me. Thank you.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Clay, I am glad my video helped! The runway questions seem to be among the hardest questions for my students at first. But once you understand that the runway numbers are simply compass directions, left means a left turn, and downwind is the opposite of the runway then these questions become easy. If you have any questions please ask. And if there are any specific videos you want to see let me know and I’ll make them.

[@matthewgreen-dy1yw]

Thanks a lot for this video! Your explanation definitely helped me understand this better

[@LIVINGINFARGO]

4:33 If we change “Left” to “Right”, the answer is still the same. Just that the airplane was roughly to the west of airport, instead of east. I’m taking the 107 test in 2 days. So excited!😊

[@manouchekaguillaume2133]

Great video Mr. Mig. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this. I would just like to confirm 1 thing. Question 1 of the video: let's hypnotically say the aircraft was right, downwind, runway 16 instead of left. The answer would remain exactly the same, correct (340 degrees)? Is it safe to say that the direction the aircraft is turning into (left or right) is technically irrelevant to deriving the answer to the question?

[@stacylondo]

Thank you!!!

[@paulrawski4028]

Thank you

[@ComputerFace7]

Thanks Mig

[@scottjgillishere]

What if it’s a variable wind ?? Changing directions. How would they describe that ?? Or would that have any effect ?

[@Advanceauto999]

Awesome

[@stevebenz758]

In your question--shouldn't pilots avoid using the word "for" in self announcements? I see that the FAA AIM suggests not use "for" or "to" to avoid confusion with "4 and 2"... "left downwind Runway 16" instead?

[@stevebenz758]

Fantastic content! Thanks for offering your expertise.

[@woobaru]

@Mr. Mig can make a video for Remote ID?

[@neek5again]

Thanks!

[@galacticom]

Are the Traffic Patterns of the runways based on Magnetic North?

[@ComputerFace7]

Thanks

[@joepelletier4192]

Old class was told - Lat lines Lay Down, horizontal, easy simple never forgot!

[@scottjgillishere]

Is the runway direction in a true north or magnetic ??

[@ShadyBlade19]

So downwind is always where there airplane would turn left?

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Not exactly. Airplanes do usually turn left when circling the runway but that is not always the case. Think of “downwind” as a section of the landing pattern. The plane will enter the downwind leg at a 45 degree angle. Then when the plane is at the end of the downwind section it will turn left. At that point the plane will be on the base leg. Then it will take another left turn and be over the runway and ready to land.

[@lydomedia5449]

helpful here in 2024!

[@dcamnc1]

How would you determine what runway it is if they literally mean a runway at 36 deg, instead of 360 deg?

[@harrymultimedia]

i m trying to do some camera work ..looks like i might as well become a real pilot...

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Yup... that's how a lot of UA pilots feel. But I will say, the FAA 107 is a pilot's license issue by the FAA.

[@harrymultimedia]

i do appreciate your channel a whole lot...

[@MichaelPatterson23]

Well didn’t do very well on my first try. I got a lot of questions I never seen before. Example if you’re flying at night and your sUAS seems like it’s moving slow coming towards you, what should you do? What…… and I thought you couldn’t fly your sUAS if you’re in any water based vehicle. Someone please help and thanks.

[@PondGuardianRacing]

would runway 36 be at 0?

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Yes

[@NicholasLavender]

poggers dude!

[@klrowley427]

I would prefer your arrow at the landing point playing North not at the end of the runway. That would make it a lot more clear for people

[@klrowley427]

Pointing north

[@bonusking1224]

I wonder if they could have standardized a more ridiculous lingo set for aviation.... Good explanations though. 👍

[@davidrspencer8108]

at 11 minutes, the 340 heading is more easily understood if you showed a basic airport traffic pattern

[@Channelmike435]

This is confusing me the most on the practice test: An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a pilot flying on a heading of 090 degrees: "UNMANNED AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS 3'O CLOCK, 2 MILES..." Where should the remote PIC (also visual observer) look for this traffic in reference to the UA? Answer North An ATC radar facility issues the following advisory to a manned pilot flying north in a calm wind: "UNMANNED AIRCRAFT OPERATIONS 9'O CLOCK, 2 MILES..." Where should the remote PIC (also visual observer) look for this traffic in reference to the UA? Answer: East

[@tonygram5414]

That makes sense.

[@NEW_N18155]

Serious?? Tower coms will be 090 - 180 and 270 -360... Yes runway are numbered accordingly. 36/18. 31/13 , 35/17. Accordingly😊
