Just passed with an 87% this really helped me out a lot
Can you take the exam again if you fail the first time?
UPDATE Sept 2021: 1990 FAA Aircraft Dispatcher just took a surprise test !!
Most of THIS TEST, I just Barely passed (80%) is ALL ABOUT CLASSes of Airspaces. A ridiculous amount.! WHY? IDK. Some frequencies -ATIS (what is a ‘C’ on the chart).? Terrain clearance and THEN what Class AIRSPACE are you in.?> AIRSPACE ! Learn the details.!!! The real ‘DRONE’ questions→ are easily handled. Good luck!
Thank you for Informative video! I am vonfused about your answer to "high density altitude" @ 1:24:10 Wouldn’t high density air increase propeller efficiency? I presume high density air is at lower (high density) altitude while low density air would be thinner at high altitudes. Your answer suggested otherwise I thought.
Thanks, Tony! I passed the test a few years ago and just passed the renewal thanks to your video.
As an FAA Licensed Aircraft Dispatcher for 30 years, This seems like my test, years ago…! Almost overkill, but thanks for the Part 107 update – Drone Test 9/03 ! Confident as hell. THANKS !!! Keep ya posted-
Latitude and longitude is reversed. Lat runs East West. Long runs North South
I question the maintenance and flight logs, why? Maintenance!? I’ve been flying my Mavic 2P, straight out of the box, for about 2.5 years. Haven’t done or repaired anything to drone, other then pre-flight inspection of drone, props etc. What’s there to log? As for flight logs, they are automatically collected by the UAS. Much more accurate than Icould write in a note book. Just my 2cents.
Random comment but I love your hair hha
Is this still up to date with the current test?
Thank you so much Tony for the tutorial! 🙂
I think there is a math error at 9:12 in the video. Clouds at 600′. Answer spoken says highest flight is 200 feet. It seems like it should be 100′. 600 – 500. The example a few seconds later is 800′ – 500′ = 300′ is the highest you can fly.
Any relation to Nortrup Grumman Aircraft.? Thanks.🔥🎩💯
I originally purchased the drone pilot course and found it to be extremely boring and overly long/drawn out. This video hands down was a life saver because he explains all the important things and does it in a way where it’s straight to the point which is the preferred method how I learn. Thanks to,Tony, I made an 86 today and that’s after watching this entire video only once. I would recommend watching this a couple of times if you’re looking to get your license and really get familiar with the sectional charts. If you get this down, you will pass with no problem!
Yes top speed is 100 mph but on the test it’s also represented as 87 knots which is really important because sometimes there is no 100 mile per hour answer, yes I’m still here:)
THANK YOU Tony and Chelsea!!!!!!! I just passed my FAA Part 107 today!!!
You explain things in a simple and clear manner thank you sir .
What’s the best drone on the market right now for taking aerial photos for big companies say power lines
Took my exam yesterday, passed with a 88%. This video is a bit out of date, but most of what you need to know is in this video. My suggestion is to people who are going for there part 107 exam is to watch some Pilot Institute videos to get up to data with 2021.
Wonderful coverage.
Thanks Tony–good video–I passed!
I passed my UAS FAA exam…..Thanks for your help
At 50 mins 50 secs into video notice where he repeatedly says Longitude goes east and west and Latitude goes north and south.
The LINES of Longitude run north-south and are used to MEASURE east and west.
The inverse for Latitude.
The lines GO one way and are uses to MEASURE perpendicular to themselves the other way.
Good informational video…just a quick correction @ 39:33 Obstruction less than1000 feet AGL near Boston not mountain peaks. Inverted V with dot.
Your videos are very informative and helpful. I am planning taking the test for my test for commercially flying drones. However, I can’t seem to find the sample test that you talk about in your video. Where and how do I access the test?
this test looks a lot easier knowing they give you the answers
I appreciate all the work you put in this but you are giving out wrong information and keep making mistakes. For instance if the cloud cover is at 300 feet you cannot fly! Duh anybody knows that. Now I am forced to not watch your video because I’m afraid of what else you might tell me that’s wrong.
25:30ish Univorm(Uniform) other than that great video.
Where is the link to the practice test? I’m looking through the description, and I only see a link to the study guide.
Very helpful..thanks
great video i watched this about 10 times and read though the free study guide provided by the faa and passed with an 87
Just wanted to say thank you Tony Northrop… using ur study guide and taking practice exams you helped me pass my Part 107!! Thanks for a great video!
I am not good at math but did he make a mistake in the first part talking about the cloud ceiling at 600 feet, so 500 feet below it would mean you fly 200 feet? That doesn’t make sense to me… Wouldn’t it be 100 feet?
Thank you for this course. You’re an excellent instructor who has taught me a lot about my Sony cameras, and how to pass the 107 test.
Great video sir! thank you. This was more informative, and better put together than the damn course I paid for!! You are appreciated my friend.
I just passed mine today. I watched this video twice and took notes once. This is the only thing I did. I got a 75%. I’m pretty happy about it
Just passed with a 83% watched this and took some practice test. It was harder than I anticipated and would tell anyone that’s going to take it to get into the actual FAA study guide. I was sweating the entire test. Thank you so much for taking the time to post this!
Thanks for taking the time to teach us. It was very useful.
Seems like FAA is not charging for the test but the test centers are charging $175, that’s a ripoff.
This video is amazing, thanks!
Passed my part 107 in Aug of 2021 with a 91%. Couldn’t have done it without you!
Just passed today your video a big help thank you
Thanks for putting this video together!
Thank you! I watched the course, took notes, reviewed notes prior to test, and got a 75%!!
The section regarding the weird weather codes and the whole maps thing is more than 50% of the test so get a good hang of it
Thank you man! Just wanted to share how much you helped me
This video is outdated and will not help you with the new version of the test.
Great video
Great stuff, thx!
Thank you. I just passed my exam an hour ago.
Passed with a 93% yesterday. Thank you for the content, helped me greatly!
Incredible course. Thank you.
Thank you Tony!!!!
9/22/2021 – Passed with 87%(2 days of study/10 hours)
For those of you that want to know what I did, here are the video’s I’ve used:
**For reviewing 2021 Updated Questions & Materials**
– Philosophy of Data Science — Part 107 Exam April Update: 3 Days, Free Materials, 97% Pass!
– Tim McKay — FAA Part 107 Update Flying at Night and Over People
**For Learning Majority of Info**
NOTE: Some of the information IS out of date. Reference the 2021 videos!
– Tony & Chelsea Northrup — FREE Drone Certification Study Guide: FAA Part 107 sUAS Test
– Better B Roll — Free FAA Part 107 Drone Test Study Guide – Answers and Explanations
Some of the video’s have practice tests and review materials. Do as many practice tests as possible! I took 3 and scored in the 80’s on all of them.
Good luck everyone!
