I just took the FAA 107 test on April 18th and got a score of 90. No online classes. I just studied every video I could find on KZbin as well as reading various articles and recommended study guides. Don't bother trying to memorize online sample test questions. You need to learn why and how regulations are the way they are and how they apply to various scenarios. Out of 60 questions on the test only about 20% were covered in those videos and study guides. The test I took was made up of questions you could answer only by studying weather systems, METAR reports, sectional charts, airspace, and various regulations covering drones and some common sense.

[@jamesoberg8809]

@@mxtafsa Weather info. Sectional Charts. Airspace. Regulations covering drones and the operators. Just study anything and everything you can on Drones and License.

[@jamesoberg8809]

@@ProHater1 It's been since April that I took the test. The main thing is to understand why and how things work as I wrote in my post above. Take your time and study everything you can. Good Luck!

Good info for sure. These maps are mind numbing.

Agreed, but necessary!! Good luck 😃

[@Jayhiptour]

This was a great resource to zero in on sectional maps. Most helpful with latitude and longitude. These similar map questions were basically on the test today. Same Figures. Passed 107 Today. Thanks for sharing this and explaining specifically how to count longitude lattitude "counting minutes" how and why. Cheers! Grateful 🙏

Excellent going tomorrow to pass my Part 107 test. I didn't attend any training courses, and this is the only part of the testing criteria that just having common sense doesn't seem to be sufficient. Now, after watching a couple of other videos, this video has completely solidified my confidence. Thank You😃

[@FamousAndStillBroke]

What did you end up getting?

[@RackBaLLZ]

@@FamousAndStillBroke 79% I just downloaded & read the part 107 off of the FAA website. Same with the study guide on the FAA website. Watched a few videos going over the test. Just read every word of every question and make sure you're understanding exactly what it is asking. There were a few questions I hadn't heard anything about, but there wasn't enough to fail me. You can skip questions you don't know and answer all the ones you do know, then come back to those so you don't run out of time. There's plenty of time I think. Just watch the clock while you're testing and you'll be fine.

[@frankc.9853]

I like that the video gave/explained some of the concepts, just wish that the. print was larger or more leading lines were used.

how did you do? remember any questions?

[@Inspirewithdrones3342]

@@ns7353 I ended up passing. However I made it out alive scoring only a 73% my test was heavy on sectional charts and I believe where I messed at the most had to have been regarding the updated changes related to flying at night and remote ID. I might make a video regarding my experience that I had because I really felt like I was taking more of a Aeronautical pilot test than I did a unmanned aircraft test. I’m not gonna lie it was nerve-racking for me, and though I didn’t score the score I desired I’m happy to say that I passed.

[@lymanmedeiros903]

[@chrisfor]

Outstanding information, clearly communicated. Thank you for this. I'd like to suggest editing out all the searching for charts, stumbles and starts, etc... Time is money as they say. Saving a few minutes of the viewer's time takes your incredible content it puts on top of everyone else's. I'll definitely sub your channel.

true but if he can save time by not editing then he could put out more content

[@JEK]

Thank you.

[@JonathanLeggAdventure]

Thanks!

[@abqdor]

Well presented. So it looks like each question has a portion of the sectional chart related to the question, but you still go back to the full page of that particular chart. Is that how the test is structured?

[@altitudeuniversity]

Correct, the proctor will provide what’s called a Testing Supplement which is the booklet referenced in this video. Each test question relating to chart reading will require you to locate the image and answer the corresponding question. Please use the link above to download the full course! It explains all of this in detail 😃

[@cljb1074]

What is the Australian equivalent to this study book?

[@piperpilot26]

@13:50 How did you determine what runway 13 was. I didn't any reference to north around that airport.

[@Izzy-te8rx]

This is probably way late, but runways are determined based on a 360 degree circle. These runways numbers apply across all airports in the nation. Runway 13 is at 130 degrees. Runway 9 (90 degrees) is due east. Runway 18 (180 degrees) is due south. So in between that (130) would be south east.

[@medogandcatadventure]

@@Izzy-te8rx thank you very much for this clear explanation

[@rockyandsarah]

When you complete 107 but the travel to drone how do teach yourself their tules and notifications to ensure you are flying pro no matter where you go?

[@TheBarneyCat]

The testing fee is now $175. This fee goes only to the Computer Assisted Training Service (CATS); a subsidy of PSI Exams Online. The fee compensates the company for the use of their facilities, the testing materials, and their operational expenses. None of the fees go to the FAA.

[@coina-dig-tion6322]

how many non-chart questions would you say are on the exam? 20%? 50%?

[@MrGaborseres]

Cool 😎

[@altitudeuniversity]

Thanks!!

[@charlestrent4453]

This looks pretty much like same test I took to get my private pilots license. Would someone explain to me why I need to know all this when the rule is I can only fly 400 ft AGL and no further than VLS. A $150 ever 2 year. Fixed wing Remote operators don’t have to take a test. Since drones are much easier to fly, so there will be more involved so just another tax our government is posing on us for something we love to do.

[@altitudeuniversity]

It pretty much is the same test with a few additional points related to drones. The fee is $175 now, however, you only pay it once. The renewal every two years is free on the FAA site. So at least it is only a one-time fee. I hope that helps!

[@FDeutschman]

Are the questions for drones same for recreational and sporting pilots?

[@altitudeuniversity]

Hello, our study guide is specific to commercial pilots, but many of the concepts discussed are the same. The rec test (TRUST) is not as in-depth as the Part 107.

[@FDeutschman]

@@altitudeuniversity OK I have my test coming up soon, specifically, I would like to know if the test is all. Objectives and how many questions are there from ur experience

[@altitudeuniversity]

@@FDeutschman@FDeutschman, the tests consist of 60 multiple-choice questions that cover all the sections we discuss in our Part 107 course and study guide video. You need to correctly answer at least 42 to pass. Is that what you are asking?

[@user-ro6rq9qz9y]

I usually don't comment on videos, but told myself if I passed the test I'd come back and say something so here I am! Passed the remote pilot test first try! This video was super helpful to understand the charts. I also watched this one for the rest of regulations: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZbEe4pnZsl7i8k

[@magengulley8056]

What about the 2022 version?

[@altitudeuniversity]

Hello, this video was produced before the 2022 version, but nothing about reading sectional charts has changed since that time. Our course material is always updated with the latest changes to the FAA's exam. You can take a look at www.altitude-university.com/enroll. We have a Black Friday sale on right now!

can you take Part 107 without a drone yet?

[@bigmedge]

Latitude is perpendicular to equator, not parallel like the host said

[@altitudeuniversity]

Thanks for the feedback. Latitude lines are actually parallel to the equator. They are measured from North to South but run from East to West. Here is a good article on it. education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/latitude/ It can get confusing since they are measured from North to South.

[@diddypablo2006]

no dude, please read the definition.

[@dabronjames8140]

Would be way better if you already had the charts prepared with the questions but other than that good job

[@bach730]

He does, but navigates away to other screens for some reason.

[@RackBaLLZ]

The charts are on the same page as the question. He was just illustrating that every question referencing a Figure will have to be searched for in a book that the facility will provide you. Have a little patience and understand the process. He's trying to do his best to replicate the real world testing situation. Not everything can, nor should be explained in a 3 minute video.

[@hawkman22387]

Me: gets a bachelors in 3 years and 6 months without ever studying. Also Me 3 minutes into the video: "huh?"

[@reb363]

When I got my Ham radio license the FCC had three Tiers of licensing, Technician, General and Advanced. Why couldn’t the FAA do the same with Drone licenses? After all, I would venture to say that majority of people that are making money using a Drone are forced to get a commercial license just because they are monetized on KZbin. None of which would require them to learn most of the crap on the FAA’s Part 107 Test. Am I the only one who thinks that there are a bunch of power hungry Bureaucrats at the FAA who hate Drone operators, so they think that if we want to fly in their air space we should know how to land a 747 at LAX? Why not different Tiers of licensing for Drones? Basic, Commercial and Industrial. Why should the majority of people have to study for weeks, just so they can be monetized on KZbin for posting Cinematic Drone Footage of their pets and the trees that they piss on? SMH
