FAA Part 107 Drone Exam Longitude and Latitude

Longitude and Latitude FAA Sectional Charts. Mr. Mig explains how to read sectional charts for the FAA part 107 test. Specifically in this video, Mr. Mig goes into detail on what longitude and latitude are and explains how to use longitude and latitude to find locations on a sectional chart map.

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!

[@MattJMT]

I finally feel like I understand latitude and longitude!

[@focus_driv3n440]

You explained it perfectly i couldn’t grasp the concept until i watched your videos. Took my test yesterday and passed 👍🏼

[@DeltaXMusic]

you got me chuckling about climb like a ladder. I literally had it confused because I thought it meant the other way lmao

[@jonathanorlando3597]

This whole time I thought each line was a degree. Thank you for teaching that

[@gnarrdog]

Not sure what some of these dimwits in the comments are complaining about. You have made some great videos here. Very clear and in depth.

[@chandlerketelsen8702]

Very valuable content. We all appreciate your diligence and dedication. Thank you

[@urartcray]

So helpful! This is awesome

[@IrishGigs]

Great stuff. Just trying to clarify something’s before taking my test. I’ve watched everything you have on part 107. You have broken it down and made so much simple to understand. I like the extra talking to fully comprehend the subject. I think I’m ready. 🥶

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Good luck! Please subscribe if you haven’t already.

[@cycleconnects]

Glad you mentioned the part about the ladder. It tripped me up at first. I'm going to test tomorrow and will come back with the good news once I finish.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Good luck!

[@cycleconnects]

@@MrMigsClassroom I passed with an 88% my man. Your KZbin series is spot on‼️ One question I had that I don’t remember seeing during studying was something like, “You just sold your drone, how many days do you have to report this?” Some guidance on this would be helpful for others.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

@@cycleconnects Awesome! Thanks for that!

[@shadduck]

@@MrMigsClassroom do you know the answer to this? My test is in four days... I've never heard of a reporting requirement after selling a drone. Have I missed something?

[@shadduck]

@@cycleconnects how did you answer this? Was "no report necessary" an option? Or is is for changing the registration of a drone??

[@BenBenkc]

Very informative. I think adding a conversion from decimal representation to degrees would help a lot of people

[@sundaysareforreading]

Thank you! This was great

[@ICE0124]

Whenever i think of latitude to remind up it goes north to south is i like to call it "Ladder-tude" and when you climb a ladder you go upwards.

[@MrJoJoJoJo]

These videos have been very helpful thank yiu

[@MrMigsClassroom]

You are welcome!

[@dienekes4364]

The one thing I was missing was that the 30' marks are full lines without the numbers. That cleared up a lot for me. Thanks!!!

[@DRONefuntoo]

Changes in latitude changes in attitude

[@5050TM]

Thank you!!!!

[@2005mlh]

Starting my part 107 learning. Hello from Lincoln, NE!

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Best of luck! Let me know if you have any questions.

[@beewilly4]

Thanks!

[@dougsturgess2651]

Latitude = lateral. Left to right. That’s how I remember it.

[@Thisisntreal867]

The only thing I wish it was written out what it looks like, how to write it. Thank you for explaining it as if I was a 2 year old -grateful 3 year old

[@kennyw871]

One area of longitude and latitude type question you did not cover is converting decimal to degrees and visa versa. Great video, thanks.

[@danielleburks4436]

Can you explain it for us?

[@shadduck]

@@danielleburks4436 sometimes instead of degrees + minutes it will say something like 41.3 degrees. Each 10th is six minutes (1/10 of 60 = 6), so the equivalent of 41.3 degrees is 41 degrees 18 minutes.

[@IndelibleHD]

Thank you

[@MrMigsClassroom]

You are welcome!

[@lindseyjohn4789]

So, the Latitude runs East and West but they measure North and South. The longitued runs North and Sought but they measure East and West. LOL that's how i figured it out.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Perfect!

[@pooptyschmoopty]

I about threw up when I was writing down notes and heard this because my brain got so confused lmao

[@aquaclean]

when you re looking for Voltaire longitud you said 100 de gres and 51 minutes west and that's where I get confused because I think is East. ?

[@AgentWonderbread45]

i don't get why it's is west either when its going to the right which would be east lol

[@TheBrianMonte]

I understand the "minutes" idea, but what does it mean when it is broken down into a decimal. For example 46.9N and 98.6W?

[@juggz1943]

i was wondering same thing. confused me

[@cblambert8736]

convert the decimal to minutes by multiplying 60 times the decimal in question. example 46.9 = 46 and (60x.9) or 46 degrees and 54 minutes.

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Multiple the decimal by 60. Because there are 60 minutes in a degree.

[@minjin0259]

That is a longitude line because there are no latitude lines greater that 90 degrees. Also, the map is not turned because the symbols, letters, and words are readable.

[@game6]

I was thinking the same about the ladder example lol

[@DjehutimasAsarRa]

Latitude lines lay down

[@claudioborquez3394]

Good video but sometimes it is confusing when you start rambling so I need to watch it a couple of times to get the point

[@MrMigsClassroom]

Claudio, I am glad you enjoyed the video. I am sure some of my former students would agree with you on my ability to be a long winded lol.

[@shadduck]

@@MrMigsClassroom don't change a thing! I'm 4 days from my exam, have watched dozens of others' 107 training vids and yours, by far, helps me to unravel the things that I wasn't quite fully grasping before. Thank you!

[@patrickgilmour1221]

I don't understand how it can be 59 minutes.

[@haileyboland8345]

while the information is good, I think that some of it is a bit confusing.

[@jeffsites2428]

You sure confuse this.

[@DarylVanderWeerd-ee3ir]

Thanks!

[@DarylVanderWeerd-ee3ir]

Used repeated viewings of your entire collection of Part 107 prep videos and a few sample tests as preparation for my exam. Scored an 87. Great input from this series!
