FAA Part 107 Drone Pilot Study Guide | Flight Patterns Explained

This video is a comprehensive guide on aircraft flight patterns. Questions on this topic frequently appear on the Part 107 Remote Pilot Test, and can be a little tricky without some background knowledge on how airplanes generally land and take off.

We also break down aviation terminology, clarifying phrases like 'downward leg' and 'short final', which are helpful in understanding pilot communications and aircraft maneuvers. We also provide an in-depth analysis of how to accurately determine aircraft headings.

Will they ever rephrase the question to ask about an aircraft that is "upwind"?

[@MeridianMedia]

Great question! I've haven't seen a question about aircrafts heading upwind on any of the practice guides, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for that just in case it comes up.
