I scheduled my test 3 days ago for it to be today. Ive been watching videos and will be taking it in 7 hours at 2pm. Ive been watching different 107 review videos for the past 3 days to understand everything because everyone has a different wording when explaining something. But this video is definitely good as he covered things more clearly and in depth than others I’ve watched. Thank you Matt, and wish me luck today. Edit/update: I got 80% with only a few days of studying. Don’t pay for training or prep stuff just watch this vid and/or other test prep.
Love this feedback. I got a drone Friday. Just learned about the part 107 and scheduled it for Monday. 3 days to learn it all. Thanks for giving me some confidence!
Thank you so much. I watched this last night, after two weeks of studying with other sources, and I passed today with a 93% on my first try. Your video helped me realize that I knew almost everything you covered and made me feel confident when going to sleep last night that I’d pass today. It also helped clarify a few things. Thank you!
@@byronoliver5470 sorry for the late reply. Just seeing this. So I watched Tony Northrups Part 107 long video first and then his shorter, more condensed, edited one. On any concepts that I wasn’t grasping I watched more detailed videos from Mr Miggs. He teaches this content to a high school class so he is amazing and explaining it. I also printed out the guide from the FAA (can’t think of the exact name of the document at this time but it’s around 88 pages if I remember right). That helped to make sure all the videos I was watching were covering all the material since some of them are a couple of years old and the test questions have been updated a little. So then I searched UA-cam for the most recent videos of what people had on their tests and that’s when I found a few new topics that weren’t in the Northrups videos such as remote ID. That is also how I found this video (just searching for the more recent part 107 videos). Also, FYI, there is conflicting info in some of the older videos about class E airspace- older videos make it sound like you can’t fly in it without clearance and now the FAA has cleared it up to say that unless it extends to the ground you don’t need clearance. While the map legend (I think that’s what it is called) in the sectional chart is super helpful in leading you to a lot of the answers, I studied it enough to know what was included there. If I hadn’t done that ahead of time, I wouldn’t have known all that was included there, so I highly recommend that. I hope this helps! Good luck!
It probably "feels wrong" to you because there are quite a few people out there charging $150 bucks for their course. I am sure it feels "wrong " to them also...but not to us! Thanks.
I watched this video about one and a half times. Took about 6-8 hours of practice tests online as well as familiarized myself with the different FAA policies and what not. Passed on 8/3/2024. Thank you so much for such a great video
Thanks for this video! For anyone curious about a study process: - First, watched the video at 1.5x speed without pausing. - Scheduled my exam a day after the first viewing, giving me a week to prepare. - Then, rewatched it while taking notes and pausing often. - Reviewed notes sporadically in the days leading up to the exam. - Spent the final two nights taking free practice exams online for about three hours each night. - The video was great for base knowledge, but practice exams helped me spot gaps. - Some practice exam questions weren’t covered in the video, so looking at practice exams sooner would have been wiser. - Spent about 12 hours in total prep time -There are likely more efficient study methods, but I didn’t spend anything beyond the $175 exam fee, so this worked for me. - Scored 90% on my first attempt! - Just put in the work, and you'll do great! Definitely be familiar with all the topics in this video.
@@PeachyPixiee I just googled 'Part 107 practice test' and found a bunch of resources. I used free practice tests from Rupprecht Law P.A. (Drone Law and Attorney Assistance), King School, thedroneu, thedronecoach, and the FAA sample questions PDF. Also, I watched a couple of UA-cam videos that went over the most missed questions.
@@PALMMO1 I’d recommend taking the practice exams without any assistance to get a true sense of where you stand.

PROCRASTINATOR ALERT!! My job needed me to get this certification ASAP for some inspections. I booked the test last week for today and was so busy I didn’t get to study much. Saturday I read half a book called “FAA PART 107 Study Guide” by Corey Joel. Sunday I watched this video about half way. Monday I was slammed at work so I was like I’ll study all night long until my test at 9am Tuesday Today and sacrifice sleep if I have to. Yeah right, the boys told me to jump on the game and catch some dubs so now it’s closer to midnight. No reschedule possible within 24hours so time to lock in. Yeah right, I fell asleep .. I wake up at 4am by pure luck. T-minus 5 hours til testing and it’s 1 hour away. I finish watching this video. Then I watch another 10 minute video on “most missed questions on the faa part 107” .Then I try some practice tests… well I really only answered like 10 practice questions and was too tired to keep going so I turn this video on and watch it for a second time on x1.25 speed up until I get to the testing center. I get there a little early and sit reading the rest of the book as fast as I can (The book is basically a written version of everything talked about in the video so it was a good recap). Exactly 9am I’m testing 💩 bricks with maybe 5 hours total of cramming. Pass with a 75%. A combination of this video, that 10 min video, and the book all had information from my test. The legend in the book they gave was my biggest help because it helped me read the maps since I didn’t exactly memorize it but was familiar with it enough to find the answers I was looking for. I’m sure the answers I missed were things I kinda remember but didn’t retain. Not my proudest cram but if you’re wondering if it’s possible. It is. Shout out to this channel for being the most up to date and informative. Feel like I became a drone operator in less than 24 hours. 😎
@ Barley passed after studying less than few hours worth of study material in a weekend 😂 People out there study for weeks and barely pass. I hope you didn’t study more than a day for the test with those comments acting like you would’ve aced it with the same amount of time I put in
Thank you so much Matt! I took the exam this week and passed! I watched this tutorial twice, and did some practice problems. God bless you! You saved me a lot of time !
At 22:26 - Cat 1 OPS - “Drone must weigh, not “way” - just thought you’d want to know. Thanks for taking the time to make this. I’ll be taking the test in a couple weeks.
Super helpful video! I watched this, Tony Northtrups video, dl'd "FAA PART 107 Practice Test" took all the free quizzes and exams on there , and took King Schools "Free FAA Part 107 Drone Pilot Test" multiple times...Passed with an 87% the other day. Thank you Matt!
Just passed with a 92%. Watched your video and another on UA-cam as well. But I also completed the PilotInstitute course as well. These videos gave me confidence I knew most of what was needed. Thank you!
I love your video. I notice you mean to give km rather than miles. Speed of sound is 330 m per second so 5 seconds is over 1.5 km or about 1 mile (at 1:20)
My Part 107 education started here. Listened to your video through once, the second time through i wrote everything down, the third time through watched it with the notes. This was the best start to my Part 107 education as it covered the majority of everything you need to know. In addition to your video i would strongly reccomend YT videos focused on Part 107 Q&As and at least one more type of Part 107 full review instructor video ( I agree with some of the other comments that people explain things differently (especially important for weather patterns)). Thanks Matt, passed w/ 87% first try!
The unselfishness and generous amount of time you spent on this is appreciated. I wonder what percentage of folks flying drones in parks and at beaches and the like are in compliance with even the most basic components of drone flying - such as being TRUST certified for example. Great video, I don't need Part 107 yet, but feel I should take it just in case. You can never be over trained.
Thank you very much for creating this video. I have passed with 82% and I only did two things watching this video multiple times and practicing kings school online practice test questions from last 10 days. Two questions I want to share which I remember from the test. 1. What is the minimum message that drone should broadcast? device serial number, FTN number, remote id 2. What is the weather that we expect when morning there is a 10 degrees Celsius? options fog, ice, rain Thanks again for preparing this video and all the best to whoever attending the exam.
Update: 93% - I encourage people to watch this video several times (I watched maybe 3-5 times at various playback speeds), looked for more material on tricky topics, asked AI for more help on certain subjects, took free online practice tests. When I was taking the exam - I definitely felt like I was on track to get a 65% but was pleasantly surprised with my 93%
Not all heroes wear capes this guy is him. Im gonna try to study this next 3 weeks and watch this video before my test. Love this information! Very helpful☝🏽
Scheduled my Part 107 test for 5 days from now. So far studied half a day (watched this video in detail and read through the FAA part 107 PDF). Took the free online sample test. Appears I've got to get in some more studying related to the sectional charts and also odd one off questions that I expect were answered in the FAA PDF, but didn't recall. Certainly seems very feasible to get a good basis understanding by simply utilizing this video and a few of the FAA docs. UPDATE: Passed my exam with a 70%... cut it close. Expected to do much better, but my test seemed sectional chart heavy. Some questions of those were easy, while others seemed tricky. Had several weather based questions not covered in this particular video (i.e. additional cloud types). Definitely needed to know some of the weather based symbols for the weather reports. Also had several general aviation based questions that I was not familiar with at all and not covered in this video or some of the other study videos I watched. Overall though, Matt's video is a great starting point, but based on my test, I'd certainly recommend studying in more depth using the "Remote Pilot ‒ Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Airman Certification Standards" found on the FAA website as your guide. I believe Matt mentions this in his video too.
I went to like the video a second time... I already liked it halfway through, and then I went to try to like it after the end... this video needs more likes, wish I could help with that... thank you so much for the info! Can't wait to learn more!
I have to be honest, I just clicked on this video and am thrilled with the comments. In January, I studied extremely hard and fell one question short of passing my 107 exam. I hope these comments are true and this video will make a difference! If anyone has any tips and tricks or ways to be less nervous... all is appreciated!!!
I just took the exam and this video helped a lot but I will say there was a few questions that caught me totally off guard. I studied a lot for sectional charts, metar and TAF but they made up maybe half of the questions at most. There is a lot of questions on stuff like what does nimbus mean and what is this one specific category of part 107. Like some of it was just terms that you had to know. As with general standardized testing strategies, it helps to mark questions you are slightly unsure about, I found that a later question might give you the answer. I did pass the exam but I do highly recommend just knowing a lot of definitions and not just sectionals and metar/taf reports.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you Matt for the helpful video. You took alot of your time to assemble this information with slides and explanation. The video is in depth of the certification process and I very much appreciate what you've done... Thank you again for the time you took to put this together to help us Drone operators prepare for the Part 107 certification...Best Regards, Matt
Hey I just wanted to say thanks again for such a great video. I aced my exam this morning thanks to you. I watched your video all the way through probably 4 or 5 times. I also took the practice tests about two dozen times so as to review a wide variety of the different questions.
After about two months studying, I was still nervous on taking the test. I stumbled upon your video the night before the test and watched it. It pretty much filled all of the knowledge gaps I needed filled and covered stuff my training didn’t! I passed my test on my first try! Thank you very much!
Thank You so much. Today I pass 90% on 1st attempt. I watched this video 2 times and took notes separately. This video covers large variety of topics on the exam day. Thank you so much again for putting this course for Free. The only topic missing i how to read “Chart Supplemental U.S.” I also used an app called “Part 107 Test” for practice questions.
Thank you! I watched this video a few times and it was super helpful. I just took the Part 107 and passed like so many others in the comments. I also read through another free study guide available online and took some of their sample questions. All really helpful stuff. So thankful for these kinds of resources online. If you're thinking of doing this certification but unsure of how long it will take you, do it. I put it off for a long time and just flew recreationally. But this will open up some new opportunities. It doesn't take that long to prep, you can use free resources to do it (8-10 hrs for me using freely available resources online, done in one evening and early morning prior to test lol) and it will be worth it.
WOW! Mr. Matt thank you for the easy and free Part 107 Study Guide! You have make this very simple for me to understand the basic of Part 107 Remote Pilot exam. Thanks! AMEN-ASE!
Thank you so much for this video! Im on my journey to taking the test and I’ve watched so many different channels and this is by far the most up to date, and probably best explanatory video out there. You’ve done a great job. Thank you again.
Matt, I stumbled across this searching for a refresher Part 107 course before starting AUVSI TOP training. I really appreciate the excellent sound quality, and also your clear enunciation at perfect speed, explanations of acronyms, and in general teaching style. Super helpful1
Awesome Video!!! One clarification: a drone must be UNDER 55 lbs. not 55 lbs. or less. Thus, 54.99999 lbs. would fall under part 107 but 55.000 lbs. would NOT. You might think that is splitting hairs, but I've seen this as an exam question.
16:00 does this part also apply to land formations like cliffs? Like if I take off over the edge of a cliff that's over 400 ft up is that immediately illegal or can I stay within 400 ft horizontally from the cliff to stay in compliance?
I want to open an IRL channel for myself. I know that I need to get certified if I want to use a drone camera for anything. Thank you for all this wonderful information. I’ve bookmarked this video for future use. excellent job.😊
Title 14, Chapter 1, Subchapter F, Part 107, Definitions … "Small unmanned aircraft means an unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that is on board or otherwise attached to the aircraft."
What’s funny is that here in texas (if I have the money) i can go out and buy an ultralight helicopter and start flying it right away without a license and for a simple drone there’s the need for a license to fly drones commercially
Very impressive video Mark. Clear, concise and detailed with great graphics. Easy to understand with a lot of the mystery taken out of the weather abbreviations which, at first, were overwhelming. Three stars.
Can you please explain why it's Class D airspace for the question at 41:00? On the sectional chart it looks like the airport is surrounded by magenta and by blue. Thanks.
I think it's because "at the surface" it's class D. Those other airspace overlap the airport but at higher altitudes. This is why sectional charts are so confusing to me - you have to think in 3 or 4 dimensions (4 being time if you think about "where in time" the flight into our out of that airport is taking place")
Only studied for one day because I thought it was common sense so this video helped a lot watched it twice and took a free test online by kingschools did that maybe 3 or 4 times was getting around 70-75 % towards my last couple of tries. I was shocked to see they use the exact maps on the test 5 of the questions were exactly the same too which was great, this video covers so much and is a great base got a 83% on my first try for the official test with only one day of studying crazy. Thanks Matt
Remote Id was a bit off in this video. There is a weight requirement. For all practical purposes your point was your drone would need remote id.Actually it depends. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
one thing I'm not clear on - the difference between class C airspace (denoted in magenta) and towered vs. non-towered airports. How are non-towered (magenta) NOT class C air space. Or I guess rather - how can a towered airport (blue) be in class C air space (magenta)? This is confusing me when looking at cluttered sectional charts...
Excellent presentation of a lot of pertinent information for the exam. I haven't taken it yet, but feel smarter from watching this presentation from Matt. Thanks so much for all the information.
Hi Matt, Wanted to say thank you for your Part 107 study guide. It was incredibly helpful and I'm happy to share that I passed the exam on August 8th. Truly appreciate you and others in the community for your help!
Prior to your explanation of airspace, I checked to see if I can find a chart online so I could see what airspace I'm in. I didn't want to buy one, so I forgot it. Then at 37:37, you use the Class B sectional of the one airport in the USA that I was wondering about. What are the odds? I'm just outside of PKT's Delta. Hilarious. But I'm just barely within DTW's Bravo.
I scheduled my test 3 days ago for it to be today. Ive been watching videos and will be taking it in 7 hours at 2pm.

This was the best start to my Part 107 education as it covered the majority of everything you need to know. In addition to your video i would strongly reccomend YT videos focused on Part 107 Q&As and at least one more type of Part 107 full review instructor video ( I agree with some of the other comments that people explain things differently (especially important for weather patterns)).
Thanks Matt, passed w/ 87% first try!
The unselfishness and generous amount of time you spent on this is appreciated. I wonder what percentage of folks flying drones in parks and at beaches and the like are in compliance with even the most basic components of drone flying - such as being TRUST certified for example. Great video, I don't need Part 107 yet, but feel I should take it just in case. You can never be over trained.
Thank you very much for creating this video. I have passed with 82% and I only did two things watching this video multiple times and practicing kings school online practice test questions from last 10 days.
Two questions I want to share which I remember from the test.
1. What is the minimum message that drone should broadcast? device serial number, FTN number, remote id
2. What is the weather that we expect when morning there is a 10 degrees Celsius? options fog, ice, rain
Thanks again for preparing this video and all the best to whoever attending the exam.
Thanks for the video! I watched this video many times and took some free online practice tests and passed my first try with a 73%!
Just watched the whole vid beginning to end. Loved it. The cadence when someone speaks, especially training, is everything. You nailed it. Thank you.
dude i cant thank you enough-i didnt want to pay for a course so im so glad i found this
I'm banking on this video and some practice tests getting me through my P107. Thanks Matt! I'll update next Friday.
Update: 93% - I encourage people to watch this video several times (I watched maybe 3-5 times at various playback speeds), looked for more material on tricky topics, asked AI for more help on certain subjects, took free online practice tests.
When I was taking the exam - I definitely felt like I was on track to get a 65% but was pleasantly surprised with my 93%
Very informative watched it while at work when I could ND I've learned alot thanks
Not all heroes wear capes this guy is him. Im gonna try to study this next 3 weeks and watch this video before my test. Love this information! Very helpful☝🏽
Thank you so much. Going to take the test in a week or so.
Passed 1st try, ur video was a valuable resource, thank you
Scheduled my Part 107 test for 5 days from now. So far studied half a day (watched this video in detail and read through the FAA part 107 PDF). Took the free online sample test. Appears I've got to get in some more studying related to the sectional charts and also odd one off questions that I expect were answered in the FAA PDF, but didn't recall. Certainly seems very feasible to get a good basis understanding by simply utilizing this video and a few of the FAA docs. UPDATE: Passed my exam with a 70%... cut it close. Expected to do much better, but my test seemed sectional chart heavy. Some questions of those were easy, while others seemed tricky. Had several weather based questions not covered in this particular video (i.e. additional cloud types). Definitely needed to know some of the weather based symbols for the weather reports. Also had several general aviation based questions that I was not familiar with at all and not covered in this video or some of the other study videos I watched. Overall though, Matt's video is a great starting point, but based on my test, I'd certainly recommend studying in more depth using the "Remote Pilot ‒ Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Airman Certification Standards" found on the FAA website as your guide. I believe Matt mentions this in his video too.
I went to like the video a second time... I already liked it halfway through, and then I went to try to like it after the end... this video needs more likes, wish I could help with that... thank you so much for the info! Can't wait to learn more!
I have to be honest, I just clicked on this video and am thrilled with the comments. In January, I studied extremely hard and fell one question short of passing my 107 exam. I hope these comments are true and this video will make a difference! If anyone has any tips and tricks or ways to be less nervous... all is appreciated!!!
just happened to me to sucked a lot lol! good luck on your next test!
Well, how did it go the second time around?
Thanks for taking the time to make this video, especially all the time that goes into chapterizing and organizing everything. Nice job!
I've completed the 107 Couse from Pilot Institute,, decided to watch this ad well!!!
This video is incredible! Thank you sir!
Thanks...Just hours away from taking my test...I got this one!
Great video! I especially love the diagrams that show the runways and airplane approaches, haven’t seen that quality before!
I just took the exam and this video helped a lot but I will say there was a few questions that caught me totally off guard. I studied a lot for sectional charts, metar and TAF but they made up maybe half of the questions at most. There is a lot of questions on stuff like what does nimbus mean and what is this one specific category of part 107. Like some of it was just terms that you had to know. As with general standardized testing strategies, it helps to mark questions you are slightly unsure about, I found that a later question might give you the answer. I did pass the exam but I do highly recommend just knowing a lot of definitions and not just sectionals and metar/taf reports.
Thank you for making this video!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you Matt for the helpful video. You took alot of your time to assemble this information with slides and explanation. The video is in depth of the certification process and I very much appreciate what you've done... Thank you again for the time you took to put this together to help us Drone operators prepare for the Part 107 certification...Best Regards, Matt
Great video! I believe best buy accepts electronic and battery recyclables
Listen mane, do you really understand how grateful I am,and we all should be for this information you have provided us with 5000 thumbs up
Thank you! Your video is extremely helpful and well done! Question: Could you let me know if you listed the link to the radio that you mentioned?
Thanks! You can find the radio link on my kit page on the description 😊
Hey I just wanted to say thanks again for such a great video. I aced my exam this morning thanks to you. I watched your video all the way through probably 4 or 5 times. I also took the practice tests about two dozen times so as to review a wide variety of the different questions.
After about two months studying, I was still nervous on taking the test. I stumbled upon your video the night before the test and watched it. It pretty much filled all of the knowledge gaps I needed filled and covered stuff my training didn’t! I passed my test on my first try! Thank you very much!
Thank You so much. Today I pass 90% on 1st attempt.
I watched this video 2 times and took notes separately. This video covers large variety of topics on the exam day. Thank you so much again for putting this course for Free.
The only topic missing i how to read “Chart Supplemental U.S.”
I also used an app called “Part 107 Test” for practice questions.
Thank you! I watched this video a few times and it was super helpful. I just took the Part 107 and passed like so many others in the comments. I also read through another free study guide available online and took some of their sample questions. All really helpful stuff. So thankful for these kinds of resources online. If you're thinking of doing this certification but unsure of how long it will take you, do it. I put it off for a long time and just flew recreationally. But this will open up some new opportunities. It doesn't take that long to prep, you can use free resources to do it (8-10 hrs for me using freely available resources online, done in one evening and early morning prior to test lol) and it will be worth it.
Thank you so much for your videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
WOW! Mr. Matt thank you for the easy and free Part 107 Study Guide! You have make this very simple for me to understand the basic of Part 107 Remote Pilot exam. Thanks! AMEN-ASE!
Thank you so much for this video! Im on my journey to taking the test and I’ve watched so many different channels and this is by far the most up to date, and probably best explanatory video out there. You’ve done a great job. Thank you again.
Excellent breakdown! This video has given me the confidence that I can learn and do this!!
This is absolutely the instructions for Part 107. Thanks again!
Beautiful video instant subscribe!!
Matt, I stumbled across this searching for a refresher Part 107 course before starting AUVSI TOP training. I really appreciate the excellent sound quality, and also your clear enunciation at perfect speed, explanations of acronyms, and in general teaching style. Super helpful1
Thank you very much for the information 😊
Quite a few public libraries and fire stations can take batteries for recycling.
Thank you for making this! I take my exam on Friday; I'm going to do a few practice test but I feel prepared thanks to you. 🔥🔥🔥
I am watching your video and truly appreciate your help. You are awesome. I am preparing for the part 107.
This is awesome, dude! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!
Thank you for your videos! They helped me pass my part 107 UAG test with a 90% and no prep courses.
Awesome Video!!! One clarification: a drone must be UNDER 55 lbs. not 55 lbs. or less. Thus, 54.99999 lbs. would fall under part 107 but 55.000 lbs. would NOT. You might think that is splitting hairs, but I've seen this as an exam question.
Past my test today with your help. 87%, thank you very much.
Appreciate it man!
16:00 does this part also apply to land formations like cliffs? Like if I take off over the edge of a cliff that's over 400 ft up is that immediately illegal or can I stay within 400 ft horizontally from the cliff to stay in compliance?
🏆💯 This video is thorough and has so much awesome information, Thank You!!!
I want to open an IRL channel for myself. I know that I need to get certified if I want to use a drone camera for anything. Thank you for all this wonderful information. I’ve bookmarked this video for future use. excellent job.😊
Passed with a 73% today! I recommend this and other resources
Question on weight: If the aircraft can weigh 0.55lbs to 55lbs, wouldn't the correct answer be "C", 55lbs or less?
I was wondering the same thing
good to know that i'm not the only one
Yeah that's what I was thinking too. The FAA site says "weighs no more than 55 pounds" and on another page it says "weighs less than 55 pounds"
🫨🫨🫨
Title 14, Chapter 1, Subchapter F, Part 107, Definitions … "Small unmanned aircraft means an unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that is on board or otherwise attached to the aircraft."
@brettstill4687 where did you get your book from?
Good stuff!🙌🏽
What’s funny is that here in texas (if I have the money) i can go out and buy an ultralight helicopter and start flying it right away without a license and for a simple drone there’s the need for a license to fly drones commercially
Matt this was so helpful, I'm scheduled for my exam in a week. I'll be rewatching this video several more times. Thanks for the hard work.
Very impressive video Mark. Clear, concise and detailed with great graphics. Easy to understand with a lot of the mystery taken out of the weather abbreviations which, at first, were overwhelming. Three stars.
You are a great teacher! Great job and thank you. 😊
Thanks for the video 😊, Interstate battery also will accept them ( that’s in Aiken South Carolina though !
Can you please explain why it's Class D airspace for the question at 41:00? On the sectional chart it looks like the airport is surrounded by magenta and by blue. Thanks.
I think it's because "at the surface" it's class D. Those other airspace overlap the airport but at higher altitudes. This is why sectional charts are so confusing to me - you have to think in 3 or 4 dimensions (4 being time if you think about "where in time" the flight into our out of that airport is taking place")
Only studied for one day because I thought it was common sense so this video helped a lot watched it twice and took a free test online by kingschools did that maybe 3 or 4 times was getting around 70-75 % towards my last couple of tries. I was shocked to see they use the exact maps on the test 5 of the questions were exactly the same too which was great, this video covers so much and is a great base got a 83% on my first try for the official test with only one day of studying crazy. Thanks Matt
Remote Id was a bit off in this video. There is a weight requirement. For all practical purposes your point was your drone would need remote id.Actually it depends. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
one thing I'm not clear on - the difference between class C airspace (denoted in magenta) and towered vs. non-towered airports.
How are non-towered (magenta) NOT class C air space.
Or I guess rather - how can a towered airport (blue) be in class C air space (magenta)? This is confusing me when looking at cluttered sectional charts...
This video is great! Watched as a refresher the morning of my test and passed.
Best teaching so far , loved it
Excellent presentation of a lot of pertinent information for the exam. I haven't taken it yet, but feel smarter from watching this presentation from Matt. Thanks so much for all the information.
When are you taking yours?
Within the next week or so. Re watched the video multiple times. Pick up something new every time. So helpful. Thank you.
@@tortorellamike lmk how it goes. I’m still studying
Hi Matt, Wanted to say thank you for your Part 107 study guide. It was incredibly helpful and I'm happy to share that I passed the exam on August 8th. Truly appreciate you and others in the community for your help!
Thanks for this video. It fills in a lot of holes in many online courses, a trip through the book.
Very impressed. I have read Part 107 material from FAA and was having problems understanding the material. Your video made everything clear. Thanks.
great video!!! im re-watching it over and over
Prior to your explanation of airspace, I checked to see if I can find a chart online so I could see what airspace I'm in. I didn't want to buy one, so I forgot it. Then at 37:37, you use the Class B sectional of the one airport in the USA that I was wondering about. What are the odds? I'm just outside of PKT's Delta. Hilarious. But I'm just barely within DTW's Bravo.
Is the test open book?
That’s a good question I’d like to know too.
Your explanations hit the spot, great job.
