      @@altitudeuniversity I will be advertising locally that I am available for Aerial Drone Inspections. Of course I will still be flying for FUN, this is the reason I started flying after I saw my brothers DJI P4. As the saying goes, "I loved it so much, that I bought it." And he did sell me his drone. Then I bought a P4 for my wife to fly and a Mavic Pro to travel with. I love the small compactness of it.
      The questions I missed were:
      1. Operation over people 2. Center of Gravity 3.Catagory 4 4. Min message for Remote ID 5. Metars 6.Weather 7.UNICOM 8. Applicability of 107 to sUA Operations 9. Chart Supplements 10. Night vision.
      I hope this helps someone else.

    I’ll be honest, I crammed the whole course in 2 days just before my test lol, but I passed! I wish this video would have been released before I took it though, definitely some of these questions appeared on my test that I missed.

      The new 2024 107 test was just released this week and not that many of the older test materials are the same so those that do not know. One thing that will never change is the charts. I encourage all to really study more than ever before the next renewal giving you ample time to cover it. Regardless the new test is very interesting however.
      Last week, I may have misunderstood however was informed that as of this Thursday (yesterday) the 2014 FAA 107 test was going to be out therefore, the earliest that I could have taken it was Tuesday hoping to get the exam over with fast and swift with having anywhere from a 95% to 100% accuracy on all the old test, I was wrong and the new test started on this past Monday so it thrown out sort of speak most of what the old exams covered. Anyways I was not overall happy with the results of the new 2024 exam however I did pass in which I am grateful for
      . Again I just encourage all looking to get their 107 and or a renewal, please double check what material in advance what you will be utilizing for sure!

    Where can I learn how to do those landing questions? I have no idea where you got those number from. Runway 2 6. Where did you get 180 from?

    • @altitudeuniversity
      @altitudeuniversity  Год назад +5

      Hello, the question actually has 80 as the answer, not 180. Runway 26 means the direction of the runway is 260 degrees. To go in the opposite direction, you subtract 180 (or 1/2 a 360-degree circle), so 260 - 180 = 80 degrees. You can learn all about this in our course using the link in the description :) Please let me know if there is anything else you need!

    Im confused on the “drone” regulation and hoping Pilot Institute can shed some light on questions.
    1. When did the drone License Take Effect?
    2. The FAA cannot make law, is this why they call it a regulation.
    3. Is it reto active, meaning if I have video on youtube from 5 or more years ago when the license didn’t exist yet am I supposed to remove those videos even though they were done legally at the time?
    4. If aircraft is less than 250 grams nothing is needed unless you’re trying to make money from it? Then you need part 107 license and registration?
    5. What if im taking video of other people’s planes at an event or flying club. Im not the pilot and the planes aren’t mine? I would assume I don’t need a license.
    6. What if I Velcro a camera on someone’s plane to record video, again not mine plane and im not the pilot?
    7. You have to be at least 16 years old I believe to get the license. If so does this mean a kid that gets an rc plane or helicopter etc that weights over the 250 grams (which is almost all of them) cant legally fly it?
    8. If a craft of less than 250 gram needs no license or registration unless your making money, doesn’t this mean the FAA is just trying get money out of people rather than a safety concern?
    I feel like this is a nightmare!
    Has the FAA become another US Government money hungry oppressive bureaucracy that creates a mine field of red tape as a means to create profit for themselves while suppressing the spirt and freedom of the people?

    Just how often are people really flying drones near airports as it seems the entire test is focused on that aspect. There is no part of the study guides with any real drone flying knowledge other than some air density and wind aspects. The entire part 107 test should be more about actually flying drones not 90% unrelated airport charts and rules, it's like the people in charge of it were so lazy they just cut and paste air traffic testing into a test for something totally unrelated. Also there is such a large focus on visual line of site that studying sectional airspace charts is absurd for someone flying below 400 feet or within 400 feet of an obstacle. The NOTAM stuff also irrelevant for drone flying anywhere but at or nearby to an airport. Something tells me they just made this certification difficult so there would be less certified drone commercial pilots. Why not just make it an IQ test.

    • @altitudeuniversity
      @altitudeuniversity  7 месяцев назад +1

      I can understand your frustration. Depending on where you live, you may fly by airports all the time, but for some people, that might not be the case. It can seem like there is a lot of extra unnecessary information on the test but it at least builds a good common ground that all pilots can understand. You may find some of it less useful for your particular situation, but at least you only need to take the in-person test once.

    I found this information on a "cram sheet" from Drone Pilot Ground School that seems to conflict with one of your test questions. "You have 30 days to notify the FAA of your change of address" versus your test answer of 14 days. Am I missing something or is one of these incorrect? Is one for the registration and the other for the pilot?.

    • @altitudeuniversity
      @altitudeuniversity  8 месяцев назад

      Hello, thanks for the comment. Runway numbers can be a little tricky at first. Runways in the US are numbered from 01 to 36, with 360 representing north, 90 representing east, 180 representing south, and 270 representing west. The numbers are based on the compass, and are rounded off to the nearest 10 degrees. For example, a runway with magnetic headings of 044° and 224° would normally be Runway 04 and 22. I hope that helps!

    • @taylortisaac
      @taylortisaac 8 месяцев назад

      To actually answer your question, runway 0 is always southbound when landing (and taking off). And all the way around the “compass” to runway 36 (or heading 360°) is heading north on landing (and takeoff).

      @@destinationelopements ..... The charts/maps are a big thing on any of the exams. I assumed you have studied the materials that you have seen online or in a drone school hopefully for two weeks or so just to be familiar with the question layout. Once I realized that the FAA has changed much of the exam, what I did to save as much time as I could knowing that the maximum time per question was two minutes, is I scrolled carefully through the test answering the questions I had known for a fact and skipping those that were questionable or i was unsure of. This of course gave me more time to answer the remaining questions I missed. I repeated this above process twice and after that then I reviewed each question carefully searching for key wording
      . Besides what you will see on the test (depending on the materials you studied from and how long) you should see about 4 questions or so that stand totally out to you and after you do the process I mentioned above only if you wish twice before carefully reviewing the rest.
      You should easily get a passing score and have time left over as back up. Word for word, I can't recall all the questions with being stressed out seeing new questions and materials. However I will take a look at my old test and see if I can spot them for you. Please be familiar with the charts on how to read them accurately and quickly and that will be easy half your battle on passing if not slightly more than half (that's normal for any test though.) The question we all reviewed was alcohol with no drinking 8 hours before, another old question was about the TFR's . Runway directions , reporting of accidents, 10 days including birds to the FAA within 10 days, waiver approval for permissions can take 90 days and impairment There were a few other older questions also however I would need to take a more detailed look but there are a ton of new questions. I suggest my idea on checking the correct answers going down the list as mentioned, skipping the others , do that again, to build extra time per question then start carefully reviewing the questions you missed making sure all questions are checked off and completed by the end of the test.
      I wish you the very best with your test tomorrow, get a good night sleep tonight with a meal tonight and tomorrow morning with juice or coffee or both. Don't bog your brain to much in the morning but you can briefly go over questionable areas if you have enough time that is.

      Hello, thank you for the question. This has to do with the way sectional charts are made. The bold blue numbers in each quadrant represent the highest point in that square. They are always in MSL not AGL. It seems a bit counter intuitive but this is because the charts have been created for crewed aircraft. MSL is a constant that pilots can use easier than if they were always making adjustments for AGL.

    how is downwind heading 26 80 degrees... the inverse, that made sense... but then the very next question has the same premise... you state a 130 heading down wind, but you are still oriented facing 130. I thought down wind meant the opposite direction. So it seems to me the answer would be South. This one is confuuuuuusing...?!?!?!?!

    • @altitudeuniversity
      @altitudeuniversity  10 месяцев назад

      We can see how it is confusing. It helps if you look at Taylor's cursor moving around the airfield. Since the runway is pointed to the SE (130 degrees), you would imagine yourself walking in that direction on the runway. So, an aircraft (your drone) to the left of the runway would be east of the actual runway. You need to think of walking in the direction of 130 degrees and looking to your left, not what the left would be if you were just looking at the map. If that doesn't help, please feel free to email me at david@sdaltitude.com. Thanks!

      Hello and thanks for checking out our content. You are correct that you have 30 days to tell the FAA your mailing address changed. But, the reason this question is often missed is because it is not asking how many days you have. It is asking how many days you have to update the address on your "registration" which is only 14 days. I hope that helps clarify the difference between the 14 days and 30 days. Thanks!

      This one is often hard to get, and one of the reasons it is on our list of the most missed questions. It has to do with the orientation of the drone pilot. Please feel free to email us at david@sdaltitude.com, and we can help give a more in-depth answer.

      I get it!!! Haha, Eureka!
      We’re to assume that the remote PIC is in the same location of the UA being reported (stupid assumption to make, the PIC could be anywhere). If that UA is to the manned aircraft’s west, and the question is asking where should the UA PIC look for the “traffic” (the question uses the word “traffic” to mean the manned aircraft), then the PIC should look to his EAST for the manned aircraft.
      A very poorly worded question that has three assumptions that the test taker doesn’t know are assumed. Hope it’s been removed.

      400 ft AGL is the limit. If you are referring to the last question, the sectional charts are the same for drones and crewed aircraft. So, the max height someone can fly at would be 3,500 feet but drones would still be limited to 400. Does that help?

      this is how I think it works because I had the same question. Runways are in opposite pairs that add up to 360deg. . The defined runway in use is what defines the wind direction since takeoff/landings are always INTO THE WIND. So if runway 90 is active then the wind is coming from the opposite direction, or 180+90=270. The wind is blowing at you if you are standing on the runway at 270 degrees. - please correct if I am wrong.. I am working on a martini.. and when can I fly? Bottle to Throttle - 8 hrs ;)

      Why am I worried about all this air traffic ABOVE 400 AGL when I'm restricted TO UNDER 400 AGL? Does the 107 allow me to fly above that, as high as I please if I get clearance for the airspace?

      Truthfully the FAA should have a specified license for people that want to fly drones like me, there's literally thousands of people like me either: angry they have to learn and pay all this unnecessary stuff, or completely discouraged by the requirements that they don't even try.
      Personally I'm stuck in the middle, I've never been into aviation, I've never been into RC anything; every single bit of this material is completely foreign to me. Not sure of all this time, effort, and money is really worth it; if the information/test was regarding DRONES then it would be knowledge I was happy to have and use later. Instead, like every test I've ever taken in my life, the information I'm being tested on is 100% useless to me and I'll never use it again in my life except for this one instance when I have to pass this test.
      There should be a test for drone pilots; it shouldn't just be an altered version of the same aviation test given to small airplane pilots what a joke; but like every government joke it's a shitty one that doesn't make anyone laugh and effects peoples lives as they force us through loops and hurdles to scrape every little bit of money they can of our effort and time.
