I go in Tuesday to take the test. Been studying alot. Your visual aids really helped. Even after all my studying I learned even more to help me pass the test, Thanks for making the video.
UA-cam University has it all. Can explain where the plane is on the runway and the taxiway you're on. Like you, I am not a manual pilot, and don't really care, but for the test it's always good to know.
Thank you both so very much, I passed at 92% and I doubt I could have done it without you. The ASA book and your videos put me way over the top. Again thanks so much!!
Question 3 is still east, but Midway would place the plane to the east but heading North East. You place the plane parallel to the Airport which is the Downwind making the plane heading Northwest. Answer is still right, till plane passes most of the way downwind then it is North then soon to be Northwest by the time it hits turn for base to head Southwest. position of plane is a little off.
The question states that the plane is midfield left downwind to RWY 13. This will place the plane right in the middle of the runway to the right, if looking at the picture. This makes the plane to be approximately East to the runway. Technically, if the plane passes midfield, at some point it will be to the North of RWY 13. However, this is not what the question is giving you in terms of multiple choices. There won't be an ambiguity on your exam. Meaning, you will not see both North and East in multiple choices, if question #3 shows up on your test. It will be either or.
As a drone pilot I find that knowing airport traffic patterns is SO relevent since we can't fly around airports. This is absolute BS they are shoving down our throats. Might as well have questions on how snails screw. Any more stupid questions you have for us FAA?
Imagine if your in the middle of your shoot and suddenly a plane comes in your direction and then you have to stop what your doing and bring down your drone as the plane passes, can screw up your shoot. That could be annoying fast.
@@BlueDroneBlues I would do anything to avoid the airplane including destroying my drone. I can replace the drone, but if I did something to hurt somebody, I could not live with that. I would wonder why that situation would come up in the first place though.
Runway is based the degree of the opposite side of the runway number. example: You basically take 360˚ North, but runway number 18 would be on the Northside. At 180˚ south would be runway 36. Westside 270˚ would be runway 9. East 90˚ would be runway 27. We're looking at the direction the plane is facing. The plane heading magnetic north for landing will see runway 36 and will approach from the South 180˚ of the airport to land on runway 36. Hope this helps.
Runways are designated with numbers that show magnetic heading rounded to the nearest 10°. It is magnetic North, not True North. For instance, a runway facing an azimuth of 93° would result in a runway number 9. If the airplane lands on runway 9, this means that it will heading from west to east and landing in the direction of approximately 90°. Likewise, runway facing an azimuth 297° is designated as 30. This means that the airplane landing on runway 30 will be heading from South East to North West and landing at approximately 300°.
I'm confused on question 6. It says to steer clear of runway 6 "final approach". Which based on your previous question and examples is at the beginning of the runway in the Southwest in this example. West and North would be downwind midfield area no? Shouldnt answer be C?
Hey there, question #6 states that the pilot is operating to the south of the airport. ATC wants the pilot to stay clear of the final approach of runway 6, which goes from southwest to northeast at 60 degrees to the Magnetic North. If you are a pilot and looking at the final approach of runway 6, it will be to the north and west from you. This is so, because you are located to the south of the airport. This makes choice A the answer. Downwind or midfield have nothing to do with this question. This question just tests your knowledge of approximate location of final approach in relation to pilot's location. I think you are overthinking this question.
Thank you. I was wondering the same thing. So because the airplane is on final approach it’s already near the runway. So south west would not have any airplanes at that time. But north west would because that is the direct path of the landing plane. Thank you for clearing that up.
@@BlokhinFilms Not overthinking at all, literally just trying to understand how this all works. Isn't it healthy to ask questions? And now that I reread the question, it says final approach "COURSE", that's the key here. A normal person is gonna say, "do we steer clear of final approach?", which is in the SouthWest, but this tells you to steer clear of the planes "course", which is in the NorthEast. Its good to work these types of questions so not to misread or misunderstand during the test. As you see I wasnt the only one who this question confused.
@@BlokhinFilms I disagree with the setup and answer for Question 6. Runway 6 (60 degrees) runs from the North East to the South West. The way you diagram the setup shows Runway 24 (240 degrees), not Runway 6 (60 degrees). Therefore, if you are South of the airport and there is an aircraft on final approach to Runway 6, he would be North and East from a point south of the airport. That makes answer B the correct answer.

I'm very glad it was helpful! Good luck on the test!
So much stuff we shouldn't have to know.
Well, at least if we decided to get our PPL we'll be way ahead of the game!
The government at its finest.
I got 90%!
I got 90%!
Thank you. 1st video I’ve come across explaining runway markings. Better to have knowledge and not need it than to be surprised at exam time.
You are welcome. Totally agree.
Show me a study guide for part 107 that covers taxiway
UA-cam University has it all. Can explain where the plane is on the runway and the taxiway you're on. Like you, I am not a manual pilot, and don't really care, but for the test it's always good to know.
Thank you! Very clear info with the visuals!
Thanks, glad it helps!

Congratulations! Thank you for the kind words.
I'm a visual learner and this has been so helpful thank you!
Really glad it helped you!

Actually with ATC waivers we can fly around airports so good to know the markings and traffic patterns.

How do you know the runway names? Im not sure where you are getting the numbers from
Can you be more specific which question/part of this video you are referring to?
Runway is based the degree of the opposite side of the runway number. example: You basically take 360˚ North, but runway number 18 would be on the Northside. At 180˚ south would be runway 36. Westside 270˚ would be runway 9. East 90˚ would be runway 27.
We're looking at the direction the plane is facing. The plane heading magnetic north for landing will see runway 36 and will approach from the South 180˚ of the airport to land on runway 36.
Hope this helps.

For instance, a runway facing an azimuth of 93° would result in a runway number 9. If the airplane lands on runway 9, this means that it will heading from west to east and landing in the direction of approximately 90°. Likewise, runway facing an azimuth 297° is designated as 30. This means that the airplane landing on runway 30 will be heading from South East to North West and landing at approximately 300°.
Thank you.
