"Just a high school teacher" Most of us would not have gotten anywhere without those high school teachers! Thank you for being such a great teacher. I'm thankful I stumbled on your videos.
Thank you for all of your hard work! Definitely one of the better instructors out there. I've been bouncing around RUclips looking for as much info as I can gather AND retain in my brain. Glad I found your classroom.
I am going through your Part 107 playlist after watching a couple of others that were about 1.5 hours each and I am very much enjoying your content. I feel like you are covering these topics more thoroughly than the other videos did and instead of giving the answers and maybe an extremely brief explanation other than "that's the answer", you give us a good explanation of why the answer is correct and the process behind it. Great job Mr. Mig!
Passed with an 88% today, and wanted to thank you, Mr. Mig, for making these videos. I started this process knowing nothing, and was directed to your videos by a colleague who also passed his Part 107 Exam. Your videos were very informative and easy for a complete beginner, like myself, to follow. Thank you so much for the help!
Dude.. I’ve watched so many training videos and even a paid PI course and this helped me understand everything so much better! Taking my test tomorrow wish me luck 🙏
Man I’m happy I’m not the only one 😅😂 I did the same thing!! Purchased a PI course just to wind up back on RUclips for this master class course. Mr. Miggs really pulled me out a hole with this. And honestly have learnt so much from this teacher. Thank you Mr. Miggs!! Your knowledge and teaching is worth more than what I could imagine. I feel much more secure and confident because of You. You got your self a great-full student.
Greatly appreciate this review guide. Having a proper teacher explain this stuff and not some random cash grabbing RUclips drone academy shows the difference a real, properly trained instructor does things. Not “just a high school teacher” by any means. Thank you!!
i just crammed most of your vids for 2 days and past the exam this morning! id say mine was about 10 map questions and rest knowledge based. appreciate your societal contribution lol.(these are the best vids for the 2024 test info still holds strong)

You know what they say in Minot? 40 below keeps the riffraff out! That is cold and sparse area, at least before fracking. I knew a lady who's husband used to be on the bomber runs that ran continuously out of there during the Cold War. Said he'd get a call and be gone for a long time. No advanced notice, no questions, no answers. Having said that, look at the length of the AFB runway vs Minot International and 'nuff said! (not to mention you can see 15 B-52's parked on Google Maps :)).
thank you Mr. Mig... you are a bad-ass teacher! I am learning a lot from your videos. I am sucking up your 107 Practice Questions, and your ability to clearly articulate and elucidate the answers, makes you truly stand apart. You are fun to listen too, as well.

Thank you for using your teaching skills to help us prepare. Your explanations and memory shortcuts are priceless. Your time is greatly appreciated and your students are lucky to have you.
Just took it today Passed 83% Lots of questions from charts, like what airspace you in if flying at maximum height above tower located ....... Mr Mig's videos AWESOME
At 13:13 this is a class E4 airspace. Any E airspace added to a class D airspace with a segmented line does not require atc permission . So just depends how high the tower is above the ground. If over 700 feet then you would need permission.
Great video.🎉🎉🎉 I particularly like how you give it to ‘em straight. “This is what it is, deal with it.” type of instruction. The best! “The FAA does NOT want people to die!” I love it!
Wish i would've found your channel early into my studying. Its as concise as this convoluted and confusing information can be. I just passed the part 107 exam (barely) but a pass is a pass. Just wanted to say that I only had maybe 3 weather related questions and a metric ton of aeronautical chart questions, and quite a few about CTAF. Hope this helps someone. Thanks Mr. Mig, I salute you.
question with Figure 23 @ 21:45, there's a shaded magenta circle "underneath" the solid magenta circle (Class C), which is a class E with floor 700' above AGL, so you would need ATC authorization even if you are flying at 701'.
Great question WHY. Yes, if you fly a drone at 701 feet AGL in that area with shaded magenta you would need ATC authorization. so in that specific example the outer ring of the Savanah airspace would be Class C from 1,300 ft MSL to 4,100 feet MSL, Class E airspace from 700 feet AGL to 1,299 feet MSL, and Class G airspace from 0 feet AGL to 699 feet AGL. So if you are under 700 feet AGL in the outer ring you could fly your drone without ATC permission because that is class G. But at 700 feet or higher you would need ATC permission.
@@MrMigsClassroom There are 3 types of Class E airspace: E2 (from SFC; also known as Class E Surface Area), E3 (airport 'transitional' area: 700' AGL), and E4 (airport 'enroute' area: 1200' AGL). According to 107.41, you cannot fly "within the lateral boundaries of the SURFACE AREA of Class E airspace [translation E2 airspace] designated for an airport unless that person has prior authorization from ATC". However, you CAN fly in E3 and/or E4 without authorization. So... if that lighted tower is hypothetically at 1250' AGL, as mentioned in the video, then NO, YOU DO NOT NEED ATC permission to fly, as long as you stay below 1300' AGL.
Not sure if someone else has mentioned this but about 24-25 min, that question, isn’t that a shaded magenta class E air space as well? If so you would need authorization for inspecting that tower even if it was below 1,200’. I’m new to this so I could be wrong.
First of all thank you for your excellent videos. Regarding the question involving the class C airspace around Savannah and photographing the tower, if the tower was 1,100 ft you would be below class e 1,200 but would you still have the option of flying 400ft above the tower without authorisation?
At 24:30 you talk about flying above a tower that takes you above the 1,200' AGL floor of/into Class E, stating ATC authorization is required... Couple of things; am not finding anything that states that upper level of E needs authorization, but if it is indeed required, how to get it? I'm very familiar with getting LAANC approvals, but it seems to only be available near airports and up to 400' AGL. So, how does one go about getting the authorization for flying above structures (in otherwise G space, or anywhere else above 400' AGL) that takes you into Class E space? Does the DroneZone website handle this? Also... is the authorization required above 1,200 AGL when nowhere near an airport? Trying to clarify this in my head, as I'm seeing conflicting info out there. The FAA study guide for this test ends its paragraph on Class E saying "in most cases, a remote pilot will not need ATC authorization to operate in Class E airspace," so I'm confused as to the requirement you mention... And this FAA page, under Rules for Recreational Fliers, #5, lists "Class B, C, D, and surface Class E designated for an airport" as the air spaces needing authorization (this appears to exclude authorization requirements for Class E airspace other than inside the dashed surface level surrounding an airport?). www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_flyers
Hello Mr. Miggs, and thank you for what you've done here. I've been watching numerous videos. On television while I get ready for work and been unable to comment but as I sit here. Having a coffee, I have my phone and I need to thank you for doing this. And in parti'm at the point where echo airspace exists under. Charlie airspace and you're pointing out how they can get you with that and I've heard this mentioned as the videos play in the background as I do my thing but I just got it.And thank you
By the way, this is not my inability to use proper grammar/punctuation.Google did something a couple months ago and they really jacked up the talk to text
I rewatched this video and the charts are much clearer and easier to read now. Appreciate the Savannah airspace question and explanation. I have a question as I live in a mountain and deep canyon area, if I fly my drone 200ft AGL from my take off point over a deep canyon that is more than 600 ft lower than my take off point, am I still in G airspace? Thank you.
Hi Brock. Yes, you would still be in class G unless you were in a shaded magenta area. Shaded magenta is class E starting at 700 ft agl. If there is no other airspace near by class G goes to 1,200 AGL or 14,500 MSL (whichever is lower. In your situation your drone would be at 800 ft AGL so still in class G airspace. However that is over the 400 ft AGL hight limit. But I don’t think that is your actual intended question. I think you are asking if the AGL height is based on where you take off or where your drone is currently at. AGL is measured from your drone to the ground directly below it, not where you originally took off.
Thanks for the video. i am a teacher also and will be teaching a drone flight and liscensing class starting this fall. I am studing for the Part 107 test so I can teach the class. I guess the secional charts are giving me the most trouble. I am looking for anything to help. So thank you again. If you have any teaching tips, please pass them along.
Glenn you rock! I am so glad to here there are more drone classes being added in other schools. The students love the course! What state are you in? If you are in NC let me know your county school district so I can try to find your email. Feel free to use all of my videos with your students. If I find your school email I will send you my power-points. If you have semester classes like me I suggest having your students take the exam starting around week 10. Scheduling the exam is the hardest part! Most of the testing centers are small so it will take multiple days to get all of your students tested. It took over two weeks to test all of my students last semester.
Thank you so much for your videos! Can we did deeper into the Savannah Question? I understand 1200 would be Class E airspace, but let me give 3 possible scenarios. 1. What if you were given the tower at (1150) in the question (below class E), BUT you know that you can fly up to 400ft over the obstacle, which would put you back into Class C. Does the FAA want you to include the 400ft? So the answer would still be Class C, or would it fall to Class G because it is under Class E? 2. What if the question gave you 1295 AGL for the tower height? This would easily put you over 1300 MSL. Class C starts at 1300 MSL correct? What would be the correct answer here? 3. For a variation on a theme, what if you were given at 1195 AGL tower heigh, which would put you over 1200 MSL (Class E) Thanks so much for your help!!
Thank you for giving the most concise explanations. On that Savanna question, your what-if scenario about class E within the classC being above 1200ft _ everywhere else ClassE starts at 700ft _ or, what am I unaware of here?
@@Neal_Schier Thanks for your input. I think you are correct. Normally 400 AGL is the altitude limit but it would be possible to be within a 400 foot diameter of a structure and also be 400 feet above and then you might find yourself in Class E. I don't believe any authorization would be required for this situation.
Thank you for these - it really helps getting into the charts because it's easy to get tripped up. Any other videos you could do that cover the charts as they relate to potential test questions would be really appreciated. On a side note, can you recommend any study guides (in addition to the FAA publications)?
@4:20 when it says 2F7... How do you find that on the map? What do the numbers mean when there's a big number 1 followed by a little number 5, for example.. or like 09, 07.. where the 0 is big but the 9 and 7 are small? Thank you for this!!!
The answer to your 1st question is it tells you “where” to look on the map in the question. The question stated to look at section 6 of the map. The large red circles in black trim with #’s in white font are the section #’s. The answer to your 2nd question is the 2 #’s are the MEF or Maximum Elevation Figure for each map quadrant. The 2 trailing zeros are dropped. So a 28 means the highest obstruction of any type in that map quadrant is 2,800 feet, rounded up. This is explained on page 13 of the FAA’s “Aeronautical Chart User’s Guide”, found here: aeronav.faa.gov/user_guide/20231005/cug-complete.pdf
Hi! Can you explain why you keep saying that you need ATC authorization to fly in Class Echo airspace? The study guide from the FAA (Remote Pilot- Small unmanned Aircraft Systems Study Guide) states under Class E- “ In most cases, a remote pilot will not need authorization to operate in Class E airspace”. Thank you!
In that Savannah question, you said if the tower was at 1200ft AGL and the floor is at 1300ft you won't need authorization, but do you have to be 400 ft above the tower to inspect it or is that just the highest you can go? if you have to be 400ft above that tower then you'll need authorization? What's the purpose of that shaded area if it's still class C airspace.
400ft is the max you can fly over an object if a question says you are flying to the maximum allowable altitude they are saying that you are flying 400ft.
There are 4 types of Class E airspace: E2, E3 and 2 types of E4. Only type E2 requires ATC authorization and the Elizabeth City is an E4 type. You may think, while only type E2 requires ATC authorization, it’s easier “for you” to contact ATC than to request a waiver. However, it’s not easier “for ATC”. It’s easier on the network, overall, if you file the waiver, which can be handled more leisurely by an FAA clerk than by a potentially busy ATC. You can read more about the 4 Class E types here: www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/uas/resources/events_calendar/archive/How_To_Understand_and_Operate_in_Class_E.pdf
I’m really confused by the question you were talking about around 20 mins in the video because you were saying that Class E airspace starts at 1200’ AGL, but it looks to me like there’s a shaded magenta line around it alone with the Class C solid line. So wouldn’t that magenta line indicate that Class E starts at 700’ AGL, not 1200’? I’m confused 🤔
About that Charlie vs Echo question....I thought you need ATC permission to fly in any airspace regardless of any other factor (excluding G airspace) ?
This is complicated. Honestly, it is easier to assume the answer to your question is yes. If you stick with all controlled airspace (b-e) requires ATC permission you will be fine on the exam. However, there are multiple types of class e airspace. E4 for example does not require ATC permission. The only E that actually requires ATC permission is a dashed magenta circle surrounding an airport.

Hey, on the Savanna question, there is a solid magenta line and a shaded magenta line out there by the tower. Is this an echo space above 700', as well as a charlie space above 1300" or am I reading this wrong? Thanks
Thank you for this. Been studying for a couple of weeks but your channel explains it the best that I've seen. How long would you recommend preparing for the test and how far out is their scheduling usually?
my biggest problem with the supplement book is that the information is so small I can't see it very well at all. I wear glasses and I have had eye exams and they say that my lenses are correct but those legends and charts are just not large enough.

Yes, if you fly a drone at 701 feet AGL in that area with shaded magenta you would need ATC authorization. so in that specific example the outer ring of the Savanah airspace would be Class C from 1,300 ft MSL to 4,100 feet MSL, Class E airspace from 700 feet AGL to 1,299 feet MSL, and Class G airspace from 0 feet AGL to 699 feet AGL.

To be fair to the FAA, the qualification is for UAVs, not just what people commonly call drones. Some of these are fixed wing.
Not sure if someone else has mentioned this but about 24-25 min, that question, isn’t that a shaded magenta class E air space as well? If so you would need authorization for inspecting that tower even if it was below 1,200’. I’m new to this so I could be wrong.

3. For a variation on a theme, what if you were given at 1195 AGL tower heigh, which would put you over 1200 MSL (Class E)
Thanks so much for your help!!
Meacham is pronounced me chum. It was named after Ft Worth's mayor Henry Meacham who used his own money to help it get built. ;-)
Thank you for giving the most concise explanations. On that Savanna question, your what-if scenario about class E within the classC being above 1200ft _ everywhere else ClassE starts at 700ft _ or, what am I unaware of here?
For Class E starting at 700 or 1,200 feet AGL, no prior authorization is required for drone operations.
@thewindginproject I thought so too... that you did not need clearance in Class E airspace unless it is E2 airspace from the surface.
@@Neal_Schier Thanks for your input. I think you are correct. Normally 400 AGL is the altitude limit but it would be possible to be within a 400 foot diameter of a structure and also be 400 feet above and then you might find yourself in Class E. I don't believe any authorization would be required for this situation.
Thank you for these - it really helps getting into the charts because it's easy to get tripped up. Any other videos you could do that cover the charts as they relate to potential test questions would be really appreciated. On a side note, can you recommend any study guides (in addition to the FAA publications)?
Kathy I am glad the videos help. I don’t have any study guides beside the FAA study document. I do recommend making flash cards.
@4:20 when it says 2F7... How do you find that on the map? What do the numbers mean when there's a big number 1 followed by a little number 5, for example.. or like 09, 07.. where the 0 is big but the 9 and 7 are small? Thank you for this!!!
The answer to your 1st question is it tells you “where” to look on the map in the question. The question stated to look at section 6 of the map. The large red circles in black trim with #’s in white font are the section #’s.
The answer to your 2nd question is the 2 #’s are the MEF or Maximum Elevation Figure for each map quadrant. The 2 trailing zeros are dropped. So a 28 means the highest obstruction of any type in that map quadrant is 2,800 feet, rounded up. This is explained on page 13 of the FAA’s “Aeronautical Chart User’s Guide”, found here:

Thank you !
Good luck on your exam!
Thank you
You are welcome!
Hi! Can you explain why you keep saying that you need ATC authorization to fly in Class Echo airspace? The study guide from the FAA (Remote Pilot- Small unmanned Aircraft Systems Study Guide) states under Class E- “ In most cases, a remote pilot will not need authorization to operate in Class E airspace”. Thank you!
Question: What are the yellow areas indicative of?
In the savanna question is that also echo airspace starting at 700 as well? So the outside ring is both Charlie and echo?
In that Savannah question, you said if the tower was at 1200ft AGL and the floor is at 1300ft you won't need authorization, but do you have to be 400 ft above the tower to inspect it or is that just the highest you can go? if you have to be 400ft above that tower then you'll need authorization? What's the purpose of that shaded area if it's still class C airspace.
400ft is the max you can fly over an object if a question says you are flying to the maximum allowable altitude they are saying that you are flying 400ft.
Elizabeth City (13:42): why can't I just ask ATC for permission ? (instead of a waiver from the FAA)
There are 4 types of Class E airspace: E2, E3 and 2 types of E4. Only type E2 requires ATC authorization and the Elizabeth City is an E4 type.
You may think, while only type E2 requires ATC authorization, it’s easier “for you” to contact ATC than to request a waiver. However, it’s not easier “for ATC”. It’s easier on the network, overall, if you file the waiver, which can be handled more leisurely by an FAA clerk than by a potentially busy ATC.
You can read more about the 4 Class E types here:

I’m really confused by the question you were talking about around 20 mins in the video because you were saying that Class E airspace starts at 1200’ AGL, but it looks to me like there’s a shaded magenta line around it alone with the Class C solid line. So wouldn’t that magenta line indicate that Class E starts at 700’ AGL, not 1200’? I’m confused 🤔
Hi, want to see more sectional chart quiz questions. Thanks
Awesome classroom!
Thanks John!
Thanks John!
About that Charlie vs Echo question....I thought you need ATC permission to fly in any airspace regardless of any other factor (excluding G airspace) ?
This is complicated. Honestly, it is easier to assume the answer to your question is yes. If you stick with all controlled airspace (b-e) requires ATC permission you will be fine on the exam. However, there are multiple types of class e airspace. E4 for example does not require ATC permission. The only E that actually requires ATC permission is a dashed magenta circle surrounding an airport.
There are 4 types of Class E airspace: E2, E3 and 2 types of E4. Only type E2 requires ATC authorization. You can read more about the 4 Class E types here:

Hey, on the Savanna question, there is a solid magenta line and a shaded magenta line out there by the tower. Is this an echo space above 700', as well as a charlie space above 1300" or am I reading this wrong? Thanks
Thank you for this. Been studying for a couple of weeks but your channel explains it the best that I've seen. How long would you recommend preparing for the test and how far out is their scheduling usually?
Thanks Clay. I recommend 20 - 40 study hours. Make some flash cards for rules and terms. PSI is the testing agency. You can book 2 weeks in advance.
Helpful, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Savannah airport you said it’s in E airspace at 1200? Wouldn’t it be E airspace at 700 agl cause of shaded magenta
my biggest problem with the supplement book is that the information is so small I can't see it very well at all. I wear glasses and I have had eye exams and they say that my lenses are correct but those legends and charts are just not large enough.
I am taking my test very soon, and I bought a magnifying glass to take with me.
On the Savannah question isn't that area class E from 700 ft and above because of the faded magenta border?
Yea I was confused but this is class C airsace since they have the 41/31.
Thanks mig
im very nervous bout this test ...
Thanks
the map at the beginning of the video had my town in it haha. i was wondering why those names looked so familiar
I could not understand the 1250ft question.
Do you have a practice test available?
No, I only have those for my high school students
@@MrMigsClassroom I took my test today got 85!!! Watched your vids and really helped me!! Thank you!
Bro I love you I'm doing work I'm self-employed doing lawn and landscaping I want to get my drone license and you're helping me out I'm going to be commenting and joining your group and I'll be in touch
I failed the test because there was a lot of questions that weren’t in my study material. Missed it by 2 questions.
this is the better videos on youtube, but i'm still not sure if i can pass this text
If you watch through the videos and make the flashcards like I recommend, you should be able to pass. give it your best effort. I believe in you!
@@MrMigsClassroom thnks
Like information
Minot is pronounced "my not."
Thanks kennyw!
MI NOT. Not Minto. It’s a Air Force Base.
Can't see your pointer much of the time
Minot not minto pronunciation
Fort Worth Meacham: Mee Ch(like cheese) Um
I'm hoping to pass and I need friends who would help support
U want to study together I need help also
Informative, but, you can NOT pronounce the airport names worth a flip.
Minot is My Not
Mechum is Me Chum
Mento lmao… MINOT = MY-NOT
Meacham is pronounced "Me-chum". You would sound more professional if you would take the time to learn how to say these places.
…very trivial observation.
Thanks!
Thank you ! I passed yesterday and appreciate you taking the time to make these videos
Thank you!
You're welcome!
