Top Tips on How to Pass the FAA Part 107 Drone Pilots Test
I recently passed the FAA Part 107 Drone Pilots Test, and I'm incredibly appreciative of all the videos on UA-cam and Websites that created content to help me pass the test. The test is challenging, and knowing the information is critical. I documented the whole process and created a video that I think will help make sure anyone interested in becoming a drone pilot can pass the test because what I noticed on the actual test was a lot of questions not commonly covered on the resources I used. This is free content and will assure you the best chance to pass the test.

Nice! looking forward to checking it out in January. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching. You'll love it.
We have simply become a country of beta male wimps.. what do we want to bubble wrap next? How has this once great nation become this?
I use my heater in my 9x7 dome tent all the time. Common sense kids, it has a rain fly, sits 2 inches above the tent. Ventilation handled. Please stop being worried about everything.
Its education and to be fair, you didn't know what you do know....until you learned it. Everyone is at different levels of that and if we are tired of dealing with uneducated people, we need to teach them. Some people are just really stupid, I get it.
Mike. that's best video. have a good day,
Thank You so much. I appreciate the feedback.
nice! Did you guys stay on the pa or ny side?
We stayed at the KOA Campground on the NY side. Great place.
When do you take that video, we are planning to visit Lake Placid in December, and we hope to see it snowy.
It was early December. It had just started snowing in the area for the season, like literally while we were there.
I'm literally homeless and winter is coming so I just want to say thank you for such a useful review.
Sorry to hear about your circumstances. Glad to be able to help out a little bit. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback.
Went there as a kid. Man that entire trip sucked
lol, young kids may not appreciate the island like older kids and adults. I can definitely see that. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I’d so take aluminum jet boat down there
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice!! Thanks for sharing 👍
You're welcome, thanks for watching and commenting.
Did u make em? Still p cool if so 🤙🏻🐊
No but I love the idea and using them. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the information 👍🏼
You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Super helpful thanks mate 👍
Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate you watching.
My feeling is that the ground tarp is one thing but ultimately the floor of the tent will get tiny holes and lose water proofness. The best way to keep inside of tent dry is to put a water proof layer INSIDE the tent.
A sprayed waterproofing (seam sealer) would work well. Thanks for watching
The marina is nice but all the people trying to sell you weed and coke is on the verge of infuriating.
Thats pretty much any place in Mexico but I agree, its a bit aggressive at times.
Nice gift!
100% agree, fantastic gift. Thanks for watching.
I cut my gound tarp to match the footprint of my tent. There is no need to fold it.
Tarps can have major problems coming apart if you cut them and the fold is security to keep water from rising over the edge. Thanks for commenting

David, Bill, Shawn, Mary - Thanks for commenting.
We use a water bed liner inside the tent to keep the moisture out. Sized to fit the tent or camper. We have one inside our tent camper then put the bedding in it. Water bed liners have sides that you can tuck everything into to keep it away from the sides of the tent/camper.
I didn't realize there still were water bed parts. lol. Creative idea, I like it.
This is a rare like from me. 👌
I love the honesty and the support. Thank You.
Nice video!
Thanks for the visit
Sounds like you are in an echo chamber.
Thanks for the feedback
GREAT INFO MANY BLESSINGS ❤❤❤❤
Thank You and to you as well.
I used a buddy heater and I just leave the tent door open to prov sufficient ventilation
I recommend just getting an alarm. Their fairly cheap and this heater is made for that environment.
Ugh, the f’ing snapping! Why must it be in every g’damn video?!? Just when I start enjoying it… snapping!
Not sure what you're talking about with "snapping"? . Thanks for watching.
99% of the igniter failures is the wire moving out of alignment. Just gentle push it back. If the orange support is used correctly when storing, it can prevent this.
Good info. I'll look into it. Thanks for watching and contributing.
I usually fly my small plane. Beats waiting in line for ferry.
That would be a dream come true. Their airport is perfect for it. Thanks for watching.
I went in 1978, was one stoplight on the whole island.
Still the same. Thanks for watching.
Was there as a tiny kid, it’s gangstar. The power went out for the whole island. First time I really saw the Milky Way.
Things can get real very fast on a small island like that. Thanks for sharing.
❤Thank you for sharing beautiful place love you God bless you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Been there! Had lunch at Howard’s Pub.
Love Howards Pub. Good staff and food. Thanks for watching.
Are all the restaurants included for the all inclusive?
I believe there was one that served American food that wasn't included. lol. Other than that, I believe so.
any local shopping strips/mall outside the resort within walking distance? or short drive?
Not really. Its a quick Uber.
I woke up at 3am during a downpour. I was floating until my cheap air mattress popped. Most horrible night camping. I realized way too late how I did the under tarp wrong.
Thats about as bad as it gets. Sorry you had to go through that. Most of us don't realize how out of hand it can get very fast with a heavy rain. You don't know until you know, but at least now you know. Thanks so much for sharing and watching.
Just got one of these. Great stove.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video, lots of good info!
Thank You for watching and commenting.
Nice open. Good comparison. Thanks.
Thanks for the great feedback. Its very helpful.
Leave the hammock.
Cowboy camp? I wouldn't be against it but I'm damn glad I didn't that trip. Massive thunderstorm that night. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Avoid the Ride The Wind surf shop, the owner is a bitter old man and rude if you’re not a local
Theres always some of those in every tourism location. I get it but being nasty will never help anyone live a better life. Thanks for sharing.
Effective!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I prefer not to go to campgrounds. I set up my tent in the field I rent for my horses. 😂
Sounds like a plan...
Love Ocracoke!
Beautiful place. Thanks for watching.
What trail(s) were you on before the top of the knob?
Check out my blog post for more detail: mikewilley.com/blog-posts/unforgettable-overlanding-adventure-on-the-reddish-knob-trail
@@MikeWilley awesome! thanks bud!
This was a great video and narration except for obviously mispronouncing the name of the destination the entire video. It’s a bummer because this is one of the best videos I’ve watched on UA-cam on Ocracoke but the mispronunciation is distracting. Well done otherwise though.
Didn't realize people got so triggered over pronunciation. I'm from Delaware, give me break.
Since when is Camping a Race? It's a Marathon and you have to pace yourself. 🤣 Who cares how long it takes? There must be 3 million videos like this. What's the rush? You're at camp for the night and odds are, it aint raining & you're early before going to sleep. My 6 man $350 Base Camp tent from REI take 15 minutes that includes setting up a cot, mattress pad and sleeping bag. I also don't lose another 1 mpg with my GTT (ground TopTent) Have fun climbing your ladder in bare feet and getting out in the middle of the night to pee! While I can stand up, walk around, and entertain in my Tent Ma Hall!
Camping is a race when its about to rain. Its good to know exactly what is involved prior to executing. Ladder is pretty sturdy and easy to climb. I carry my Box up and down all the time. Thanks for watching and commenting.
While I can't disagree with this, I will say, I get more equity from having the tarp set up to keep dirt & debris out of the tent. Because any amount of rain is gonna get under the tent, no matter how hard you try to stop it. If I may suggest, a test video with two tents set up, wrong vs right, & put yard sprinklers on it for 2 hours and see how little, how much this makes a difference.
I like the idea alot. I'll look into doing a test. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you! Off to music festival tomorrow and first time using tarp underneath - your advice greatly appreciated.
How did you make out?
Great video👍 my wife and I we are in love with the island🙃 you should visit the neighbor Portsmouth Island!
Thank You so much. I'll look into Portsmouth for sure.
I’m heading back next week. We went in 2015 and I am soooooo going down to the marina thanks to your video. This is gonna be amazing!!!!!
How was it?
@@MikeWilley it was great. Lovely place
