Pass Your FAA Part 107 Exam by Knowing These Questions

I took my part 107 exam in April 2023.I studied and took a course at the local community college. I passed with 87%. I will say that most of the videos on YouTube are very outdated. A lot of questions were even different from the sample questions in the 2023 study guide. Many questions had multiple possible answers and you really need to pay attention to the way it's worded. It's not an easy test. My advice to anyone taking the test is to take your time, skip questions if you need to, you can go back. Nobody makes 100% on this test so don't sweat your 90%. That's actually pretty darn good!

Thanks for making this video, Cole. I'll update you when I take my test in the immediate future and post whatever questions I remember to pay it forward.

Regarding the question about finding out more about an airport, such as traffic patterns, noise abatement, etc. I found this: "The Chart Supplement is the same thing as the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD). The FAA renamed the A/FD to the Chart Supplement in 2016, but the front section containing individual airport information is still referred to as the A/FD. The Chart Supplement provides comprehensive information on airports, large and small, and other aviation facilities and procedures"

Congrats, Pilot, and thanks for the insight!

Thanks for this video I'm in the process also and have only been watching videos. The weather stuff got me impatient while listening so I tuned that section out.

Thank you!

Regarding the Center of Gravity (CG), I found this while searching for the terminology: "However, a general rule of thumb is that a drone with a rearward CG will be more stable at low speeds, but less stable at high speeds, than a drone with a forward CG. This is because at low speeds, the static stability dominates, while at high speeds, the dynamic stability dominates" Note: I am NOT the expert here - just sharing what I found.

Regarding the foreign owned drone question, it may be the answer is yes, it is legal if you first obtain a foreign permit, then also register it in the US, and fly it under Part 107 rules. I found this: "The requirements for registering a foreign owned civil drone are: The drone must be registered in the country of origin, unless the country does not require registration12 The operator must obtain a foreign aircraft permit from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) at least 15 days in advance of the proposed start date of the operation13 The operator must comply with the FAA Part 107 rules, such as obtaining a remote pilot certificate, having anti-collision lighting, and following the operating requirements"

Strobe light visible 3sm is required to be on for night operations.

Regarding to whom you must show your license when asked, my guess is that among those choices, it is the Representative of Compliance. A TSA officer can report a violation, but has no direct authority over you in this situation - they are not Law Enforcement Officers in this situation. It would not be a community organizer - they could ask a local law enforcement officer to check, but have no right to demand it from you. I found this (but am curious as to how a "designee or contractor" would identify themselves in the field): "A Representative of Compliance is a person who is authorized by the FAA to conduct inspections, tests, and demonstrations of compliance for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) under Part 107. A Representative of Compliance may be an FAA employee, a designee, or a contractor A Representative of Compliance may request to see the remote pilot certificate, the registration, and the operating rules of a sUAS operator, as well as inspect the sUAS and its equipment, and observe the operation. A Representative of Compliance may also issue notices of proposed civil penalties or other enforcement actions for violations of Part 107"

Thank you! I hope to test sometime in Dec. I have watched many videos on weather, mapping, and such — but I am interested with the new updates whats out there. So far I have studied maybe 5 hours but still forget recalling pertinent info (fog air maps). I did buy the red book that’s available during the test. Any thoughts on that?

New subscriber (88)! This was super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to give us this information. I am going to schedule my test Jan2/3 not sure yet. it be nice to hit the 90% range. If I can pass is all I need. LOL. I'm just nervous Cuz I am a poor Test taker. but i will be studying all weekend up and through to the test date. That weather for me is challenging.

I just saw that answer for the lights in my study. The drone definitely has to be visible at night

thanks for the video! i take my test on the 15th

Off-topic but what camera are you shooting with? The quality is really good.

where do we find the chart. Bought my dji last week.

Remote ID questions and foreign pic restrictions

Regarding the Remote ID question, and the use of ADS-B, I found this (I suspect you gave the wrong answer): "ADS-B cannot replace a remote ID module when flying a drone under Part 107 rules. ADS-B is a surveillance technology that allows aircraft to broadcast their position, speed, altitude, and other data to air traffic control and other aircraft. Remote ID is a local broadcast over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth that provides identification and location information of the drone and the remote pilot The FAA has prohibited the use of ADS-B Out equipment in transmit mode for drones, unless otherwise authorized, because it could cause interference with the signals of manned aircraft. However, drones can use ADS-B In equipment to receive data from other aircraft and ground stations To comply with the Remote ID requirement, drones must have either standard Remote ID in the aircraft, a Remote ID broadcast module, or operate within a FAA-recognized identification area"

are you located in Florida?

Taking mine tomorrow at 1:00.
