The 5 Hardest Part 107 Exam Questions - Are You Prepared?

[@thomasrudiger3039]

Looked at this video right before my exam scored a 93% first try. I also watch countless videos on KZbin. And used pilot institute and really studied almost everyday for 1 1/2 Months.

Of course! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Great review. Reinforcing the study content. Thanks for your time in producing this video. Well done! 😎👍🏼

I just went and passed my exam! Now, I want to say the one question I never came across while studying the mounds of knowledge I studied, was....What is the altitude of the floor of V15. V15 was one of those blue lines that runs across the chart and I had no idea how to determine it's altitude, let alone know exactly what it is.

Congrats on passing - that's a great accomplishment! And thanks for bringing that question up - it can definitely be a tricky one, especially if you didn't run into it while studying. If you are curious for more clarification on those blue lines, here is some further explanation. The blue lines are Victor Airways. On a Sectional Chart, these show up as thick, faded blue lines that run between either two VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) stations, or a VOR and a VOR intersection. Victor Airways are identified by a number, similar to an interstate highway. Victor Airways are always designated as Class E airspace and extend from a base of 1,200 ft. AGL up to 18,000 ft. MSL. That’s why the minimum altitude / lowest elevation as asked would be 1,200 ft. AGL. Congrats again and let us know if there are any other videos you would like us to make! Blue skies and safe flying!

@uavcoach Hey, thank you greatly for that ! It is very exciting. I also appreciate the detailed explanation of what they are. Surprisingly, I guessed that one correctly! I love looking at the sectional charts because of how much information is there.

Glad you found the video helpful!

For question 4, could anyone explain why this wouldn't be class E airspace since we are within the circle? Is it because the airport is at ground level and class E starts at 700 ft AGL? For many questions I am answering class E and G wrong and am trying to understand how to differentiate this better. Thank you!

I'm curious about question #1--would the Class E airspace starting at 700ft AGL surrounding the area not limit the height?

[@uavcoach]

We are limited to a max altitude of 400 ft AGL in Class B, C, D, and Surface Area E airspace however, Part 107.51 - Operating Limitations (shown below), allows us to fly 400 ft above the top of a structure as long as we remain within a 400 ft radius of the structure if we're in airspace that does not require an airspace authorization. The Class E Transition airspace (thick fuzzy magenta line, shown in the second screenshot) that starts at 700 ft AGL does not require pilots to have an airspace authorization and since the Class C doesn't start until 1,200 ft MSL and we're flying 'below' the Class C, an airspace authorization is not required. So we're not limited to a max altitude of 400 ft AGL when inspecting the group of towers 9SM south of Norfolk.

[@BryantNaro]

@@uavcoach Ah, that makes sense, thank you for clarifying!

Why are you wearing a knit hat indoors? Maybe wash that hair too.
