Passed today (April 2024) with a 92%. I used this as my primary study source. I did some additional research about remote ID, flying over people, as well as reading articles about sectional charts. The one by pilot institute is really good.

[@SirYohan]

Just like all of the other comments, I just finished taking my Part 107 test this morning and came out with a 97% after using pretty much only this video as my study guide. I looked up like two practice tests, but this video and it's companion study guide were pretty much my sole resources. It still holds up FIVE years after publishing! I watched it through three times total over the course of a week and the test felt just fine. The trickiest part for me were two questions about remote ID, which makes sense because those rules have only just come out. Also, I agree with a few of the other comments, I'd say about 1/3 to 1/2 of my test was sectional chart based, so for all you aspirants, be sure you study that well. Like Tony says, everything can be found in the Legend. TLDR; There's really no need to waste your money on a paid course when the high majority of everything you'll need is right here in this video. :) Thank you guys for creating this awesome resource for all of us new drone pilots!!

[@danielsahnn]

love this, congrats man! looking forward to passing this text soon.

[@topnotchnv5028]

So do they provide a legend too use on the test?

[@SirYohan]

@NV Pharaoh in my test, I was given an airman handbook that consisted of ~80 pages of charts and various visual aids referenced during the test. In the front cover, it had a legend just like is shown in this video. I recommend looking over that book prior to clicking start so that you can familiarize yourself with it without burning any test time.

[@danielblanc_studios8770]

Hey, please read this if you plan on taking your Part 107 exam soon!: I passed my part 107 exam last week with a 95 and I was somewhat surprised by this score because most of the questions covered by these review videos were not on my test. I got a lot of questions pertaining to flying at night, flying over people, hazardous behaviors, and sectional charts. Some other questions were on Density altitude, fog and weather formations, and differentiating air apressure based on altitude. I even had a question on a section of Part 48, which I had no idea how to answer. With all that said, I did not pay for any courses, but watch this video and a number of other videos on KZbin, but take this seriously! It is actually tricky. Study sectional charts, weather reports, remote Id, regulations for flying at night! Understand air pressure at sea level, calculating cloud ceilings. Take practice tests. Kings School has free practice tests ! Hope this helps. Let me know if you have specific questions

@@frankromero4859 Did you pass?

[@frankromero4859]

@@silasapple1530 I passed with a 92%. I missed 4 questions and unfortunately FAA and PSI doesn't tell you the questions you missed but they do tell you the category. I found out that mostly all the questions in the exam were not exactly worded the same as the practice questions, so I wouldn't advice anyone to memorize questions and answers. The key is to study study study all the categories and concentrate on the categories that you struggle the most. For example, I struggled with weather so I studied and watched lots of KZbin videos pertaining to that. Anyone that says that they only watched this video of Tony Northrup (which I think is a great video) and passed with flying colors, I can't perceive to understand how they did it, because the questions were hard IMO. I would advice you to look up lots of KZbin videos and read the study guide of the FAA. Once you see many videos it will start to sink in. Lastly, I recommend that you bookmark the questions that you are unsure of and review them 2 or 3x more before finishing the test. I used up 1.5hrs but when I doubled checked the bookmarked questions, which I had 9, I made some changes and then felt more comfortable. DO NOT take the test lightly and think it is easy. Some questions are confusing. Let me know how it goes for you or if you have a questions about certain topics. I did find this entire process interesting and I feel I have gained knowledge and respect for our air men. Tip: CT frequency and CTAF will be same frequency. I googled it and learned that when CT is not in opertion, that same CT frequency simply becomes CTAF frequency. If there isn't any CT or CTAF frequency, then you will communicate through MULTICOM 122.9 or 122.95 See I told you I learned :)

[@HamZuiMedia]

Just passed my part 107 with a 90% today! As an FYI, I watched this video, and Altitude University's " FAA Part 107 Study Guide: Drone Certification - Pass First Try!" and took a practice exam I found online. By far the easiest exam I've ever taken. Total studying including practice exam, watching the videos in 2 times speed ~ roughly 4 hrs the night before the exam. The only thing I would have done differently would be to look up recent changes with remote ID as that wasn't really covered in either 2 videos. Don't stress on this exam, like 75% of the questions were extremely straightforward. I spent a total of 35 minutes on the exam, trust your gut and watch how they give you the answer (it's often very easy to eliminate the wrong choice and there were times when just by the answer you already know the correct one). The sectional chart was probably the hardest part of the exam but luckily they do give you the book/legends so use that to your advantage and you can always come back to them if they're taking too much time :D. Best of luck everyone!

These videos give you a great understanding of the basics, however you will probably still need to do some studying on your own when it comes to newer material like night operations, flying over people, and something that I saw today which was remote ID!! The video by Pilot Institute explaining remote ID is a great supplement. And finally the best practice test I can recommend is the one by King Schools, there's also the official faa practice test(which is slightly outdated), and the one mentioned in the study guide in the description of this video. Good luck to those studying, and don't memorize the practice test questions because they were all re-worded for the test

I used this study guide mid June of 2020 and I passed with an 83%!!! Thank you so much Tony!!

[@wespezmedia]

I watched this video twice, looked over the study guide the morning of my test, and passed with an 80%. That's the only studying I did. I'm glad that I didn't waste money on the online classes that cost hundreds of dollars. Thank you Tony for taking the time to make this video! Subscribed!

Hi! It's the end of 2023 and just took my 107 test. I passed with a 90% Thank you for making learning fun, easy, and informative!

[@1laimmiss]

Hi. Did info change for 23/24

[@matthewmalure8730]

Took my test today and passed with a 82. I studied really hard the past 2 days but the whole process of really focusing on learning the material started about a week ago. I am normally a really bad test taker but I was able to pass, if I can do it so can you trust me! Watch this entire video and use any practice tests you can find including the one in the description. Really pay attention to the questions that you fail and take note of the areas that are harder and focus on those. I was extremely anxious the past 2 days leading up to the test but its all worth it once you pass, don't let the charts freak you out as well. They are a lot easier than they seem at the beginning for me that was the easiest part of the test. Good Luck!

[@lkhage]

what practice test did you use and is this video still current enough for the test.

[@matthewmalure8730]

@@lkhage just goggle part 107 practice test and do as many as you can. It’s really not a bad test. I took the test 5 months ago but I’d imagine it’s still up to date. The remote ID stuff was on my test back then too.

[@matthewdale8967]

I just passed my part 107 with an 83 on my first attempt. I used this video as a study guide, took notes, watched it several times and listened to it on the 2 hour drive to my testing center. You saved me several hundred bucks on a class, and now I can start getting my drone business up and running. I cannot thank you enough for putting this together!

[@MrBradleysharp1]

Just passed the 107 largely due to watching your video like 4x. I feel that about 40 of my 60 questions were from the sectional charts and your information was critical. Thank you Tony!

[@QuiCk5c0p3sMW3]

What about the math equations and stuff do you remember anything specific

[@livefreeindustriesllc]

Dude, just want to say thank you! I took my test and passed with 90% after weeks worth of studying, cramming and your video!

[@saskia.h]

Just passed this with a 78% and I started studying the night before. I watched your video once and took one practice exam. I took the full 2 hours of exam time, probably because I didn't study that much. But I still passed first try and with just a few hours of studying in large part thanks to this video! My advice to anyone taking it now: interpreting the charts is a large part of the exam, so make sure you spend time on those questions. Also, as others have said there is some new material you need to learn: night flying, Remote ID, and flying over passengers.

[@riley7brown]

I just passed with a 92% this week. I watched your video twice, read through the FAA's study guide and made some note cards, and took many practice tests include those from the app mentioned below (Prepware). I spent a lot of time studying and answering questions about sectional charts (about 2/3 of exam). Thank you for all your help! As a thank you, I picked up your photography book.

[@ezcaps8094]

Thanks for this video. By watching this and The Drone Coach, and Altitude University, and taking LOTS of practice tests, I got a 93% on the first try. I think watching videos made by multiple people is the best way to go because the overlap covers more content, and hearing things explained a little differently each time helped me to remember. Thanks again!

[@Lane-Digital]

I originally purchased the drone pilot course and found it to be extremely boring and overly long/drawn out. This video hands down was a life saver because he explains all the important things and does it in a way where it’s straight to the point which is the preferred method how I learn. Thanks to,Tony, I made an 86 today and that’s after watching this entire video only once. I would recommend watching this a couple of times if you’re looking to get your license and really get familiar with the sectional charts. If you get this down, you will pass with no problem!

[@allineedmedia5726]

Took the test today and this worked like a charm! We really appreciate this extensive review/lesson you have put together. 🙌🏾👍🏾

TONY! This video is the best. I watched it a few times and took countless practice exams but I finally passed the one that counts!!! Great resource if you can't afford or don't have the time to take a paid class. This won't get you all the way there and you'll need additional studying but it covers, in depth, 80-90% of what you need to know for the exam.

[@epicjfpv]

I am just here to say thank you. This video was the first piece of study material that made me think “ok, maybe I can do this without spending 6 weeks and $200 on a training course…” Happy to report I just passed with an 85% after about 4 days total studying.

Signed up last week on a whim, watched this twice and got an 82% this morning. It works! Remember the initial numbers, weather reports, and chart info and you’ll pass! The legend in the book they give at the testing site had many of the answers in it just like Tony said. Many thanks! Now if only I could find uncontrolled airspace to fly my drone...

[@hobbsthehobbyist]

For those interested. I took my Part 107 and passed today with a score of 79%. First try. I studied for about month, not to intensively, just here and there about 30 mins or so each time. The test wasn’t hard or easy. Moderate. I used this video (rewatched it a few times) and used the ASA’s Remote Pilot Test Prep 2002 booklet from Amazon.This Tony’s video helped me as laying a foundation and also conceptually. Maybe about 10-15% of it was on my test. And maybe this could be due to region (I’m in Nevada) and time (this video is a few years old now) this was published. But by any means, this does not take away from the help this video provided me. This video is perfect for someone like me. I fly drones, understand drones, but never once looked at the part 107 test. A total lack of aviation knowledge. But what I do know you don’t need a paid course to pass this test. I would say. Watch this video multiple times (and download his study guide), as much as needed. Get the ASA Remote Pilots Test Prep 2022 book (the 2023 Airman Knowledge Supplement book comes free with it). I’m not affiliated with book or Amazon :) Study focuses in my opinion. Understand what Remote Identification (Remote ID). Operations at Night and Understand the Aviation Charts, Airspace., Charts etc. Definitions - ATC, SIDA, Mutilcom etc and some weather. These are the things that came up in my test the most. Repeat questions. Also, there are a lot of common sense and play on word questions. That you’ll have to reread and take time to digest. But that’s it. Take your time you have 2 hours. I hope this helps and thank you to Tony & Chelsea Northrup for taking the time out to provide this material.

[@jollytime0811]

Thank you Sir for this study guide! I watched this video twice, used a couple other free resources, and brushed up on the new rules implemented in 2021 and passed with a 73%. I crammed for only about 3 days, which was my intention because I wanted to put in the least effort for Part 107. This video was the most engaging and everything Tony says regarding what to study is spot on. By far the best free Part 107 study guide I've come across. Thank you.

Passed this test today with an 83. This info is a bit outdated, but a lot of it still there. There is also a lot that is not on this video, or the Better B Roll video. Tons of sectional chart stuff. Like everything you could imagine on a sectional. Towers, flyways, frequencies, everything. Plus a lot of basic info that you would remember if you heard it once, but probably wouldn't know until you heard it. I'd recommend on watching a lot of videos just on reading sectional charts.

Excellent video. I will add that the exam I took today was heavy (60%) on charts and reports. While this video was extremely helpful and well-produced, my advice is to study the charts and reports over everything else. I've been flying drones for over 10 years, 2,000 hours and 98% of the content doesn't pertain to flying a drone and I've owned everything from a Mavic Mini to an Inspire 2. I'm glad the exam is over and I passed. BTW cost in 2022 is $175 not $150.

THANK YOU! Just got back from taking my test and passed with an 88%. This video is a fantastic study tool! I probably watched it 3 times all the way through and then re-watched segments that I needed a little extra help on. Between this and the practice exams from King Schools, the test was pretty straight forward. NOTE: Before you rack your brain trying to remember the colors for the different air spaces, I did get a big packet with all the sectional maps AND the legend that identifies the air space colors and some other items. Good luck on your tests to everyone using this video!
