Thank you for the video. I just passed my 107 test. It was hard!!! It had lots of questions that were not there on any question bank and had maybe 15 questions that were not even from the FAA study guide like remote ID of foreigners, remote ID if we travel overseas, Nite flying over people thats allowed now, catergory 2 weight and safety questions and a few I had no clue about. Structures to find on map were very small and having all the knowledge you gave helped to get the other regular questions correct. FAA charges $175 and they dont even give us an updated study guide or even a supplement of new rules!!!

I studied for my drone pilot license using internet -based courses, and like your presentation I made use of the ability to zoom in on a region of interest in sectional charts. Imagine my surprise at my test when i was handed a physical book of sectional charts; so no ability to zoom in. Students should be aware of this and perhaps take with them a magnifying glass to make reading the charts easier. Good presentation.

On 11/29 I took the Part 107, and had about 10 chart reading questions. Do get the booklet and memorize the legends. I’m old geezer and passed it with a 93 %.

I passed on first try and if I found this video prior test then it would've been a breeze and not as hard. Just happy I passed... these question are on the test

[alexhdz]

All I will say is that this is the ONLY video I’ve seen that has the questions AND answers displayed over the sectional charts making it super simple to answer the question on your own. Thank you for this 🙌🏼

[krijskovacic]

Thank you! I finally understand the gray area of E vs G airspace.

[dougcooper]

Excellent Tutorial and Practice Information For The Part 107 Test! Thank You.

Just had Question 5 on my Part 107 today. Scored an 80%. Thank you so much for clarifying this! This wasn't too painful, but having at least 12-15 sectional questions on my exam sure was. I was cruising along for the first 1/3 of the test before they started coming one after another.

[johnwilliams]

Thank you Allen. I will be retesting in August. Fingers crossed.

[charlescp]

After a year you post this video, still very useful....thank you very much

[secretasianman]

Sir, just passed my Part 107 exam 30 minutes ago with an 80%. This video, by far, was the most important study material I looked at. This, and reading the faa study guide chapter on airspace. I certainly should have studied waaay more, but I’m obviously satisfied with the result haha. Thanks!

[genevapittman]

Thank you! I love your explanations.... #5 that detail was awesome and it helped me

[slash]

80% of my test was charts... needless to say I have to retake. I hope I pass the second time.

[ericlongoria]

Guys, i just passed my 107 with a 72%. My entire test felt like charts. I was extremely frustrated by the end of my test because nothing i studied was on it. Charts charts charts is what you need to focus on.

[nealflynn]

Passed my 107! Thank you for all of the tips

[jcinewilliams]

1st of all awesime information. i really appreciated you sharing this. Just started self studying with an audible book. i am quite sure after watching this the audible is not going to be nearly enough. However, i think i need to hear the concepts repeated often so that i can begin to grasp. i did sign up with another group that i will be attending an online seminar to learn the information. if it turns out it won’t give me the confidence i need to understand and pass then i am sure i will dsign on with the Drone pilot Ground school or drone university. I am sure i will get it I just have to dedicate myself to studying.

[HammockHiker]

Extremely helpful with understanding charts. Thank you very much!

[LSmiata]

Nice explanation of chart and airspace! Taking my test tomorrow and this has been my weakest point.

Thank you!

[jeremiahkenny]

At 17:36 you said 400ft when I believe you meant 4000ft. Trying to be helpful to you. Your wonderful vidio has been way more helpful to me than I will ever be to you so I am very thankful for you taking the time to make this video.

[JonnyDeeFilms]

This was so helpful thank you. This was my first time looking at a sectional chart. After watching your video and studying a bit I passed the test this week.

Keep up the great work thank you so much.
