- Walking you through my testing experience for the FAA Part 107 Remote Drone Pilot Certificate. Covering the trickiest questions on the exam and how I approached them. This test covered topics like remote ID, sectional charts, and regulations. This video covers questions on the 2024 exam.
Below are the resources I used to study for the exam:

I took my part 107 exam in April 2023.I studied and took a course at the local community college. I passed with 87%. I will say that most of the videos on TH-cam are very outdated. A lot of questions were even different from the sample questions in the 2023 study guide. Many questions had multiple possible answers and you really need to pay attention to the way it's worded. It's not an easy test. My advice to anyone taking the test is to take your time, skip questions if you need to, you can go back. Nobody makes 100% on this test so don't sweat your 90%. That's actually pretty darn good!
Completely agree. Would love to see some more practice material in TH-cam on remote ID, night time flying and flying over people.
Regarding the foreign owned drone question, it may be the answer is yes, it is legal if you first obtain a foreign permit, then also register it in the US, and fly it under Part 107 rules. I found this:
"The requirements for registering a foreign owned civil drone are:
The drone must be registered in the country of origin, unless the country does not require registration12
The operator must obtain a foreign aircraft permit from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) at least 15 days in advance of the proposed start date of the operation13
The operator must comply with the FAA Part 107 rules, such as obtaining a remote pilot certificate, having anti-collision lighting, and following the operating requirements"
Regarding the Center of Gravity (CG), I found this while searching for the terminology:
"However, a general rule of thumb is that a drone with a rearward CG will be more stable at low speeds, but less stable at high speeds, than a drone with a forward CG.
This is because at low speeds, the static stability dominates, while at high speeds, the dynamic stability dominates"
Note: I am NOT the expert here - just sharing what I found.
Strobe light visible 3sm is required to be on for night operations.
Do you happen to remember ever seeing anything about intense lighting while nighttime flying? Something like stadium lights or powerful floodlights. I think that’s what the question was asking about whether they should be on or off during flight
@@Eloc626 Probably one of those trick-ish questions. Sometimes they seem counterintuitive but in this case, a strobe light, visible for 3 statute miles must be on and in a strobing blink pattern, either red or white, for night operations. It also must be on during civil twilight. This is so other aircraft can see your drone.
The correct answer is turn off bright lights. They also state that you should wait 30 minutes for your eyes to adjust so that’s the give away.
@@cameronhershberger. Ahh yes. I remember that question now. I misunderstood and thought it was asking about the light on your drone. But yes, They want you to turn off any bright lights around your take off and landing area. But you are still required to have the strobe light on the drone for night time operations.

Thanks for making this video, Cole. I'll update you when I take my test in the immediate future and post whatever questions I remember to pay it forward.
Great! Good luck on your exam. Looking forward to hearing about it.
Regarding the question about finding out more about an airport, such as traffic patterns, noise abatement, etc. I found this:
"The Chart Supplement is the same thing as the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD). The FAA renamed the A/FD to the Chart Supplement in 2016, but the front section containing individual airport information is still referred to as the A/FD. The Chart Supplement provides comprehensive information on airports, large and small, and other aviation facilities and procedures"
Congrats, Pilot, and thanks for the insight!
Thanks for this video I'm in the process also and have only been watching videos. The weather stuff got me impatient while listening so I tuned that section out.
Regarding the Remote ID question, and the use of ADS-B, I found this (I suspect you gave the wrong answer):
"ADS-B cannot replace a remote ID module when flying a drone under Part 107 rules. ADS-B is a surveillance technology that allows aircraft to broadcast their position, speed, altitude, and other data to air traffic control and other aircraft. Remote ID is a local broadcast over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth that provides identification and location information of the drone and the remote pilot
The FAA has prohibited the use of ADS-B Out equipment in transmit mode for drones, unless otherwise authorized, because it could cause interference with the signals of manned aircraft. However, drones can use ADS-B In equipment to receive data from other aircraft and ground stations
To comply with the Remote ID requirement, drones must have either standard Remote ID in the aircraft, a Remote ID broadcast module, or operate within a FAA-recognized identification area"
Thank you!
Regarding to whom you must show your license when asked, my guess is that among those choices, it is the Representative of Compliance.
A TSA officer can report a violation, but has no direct authority over you in this situation - they are not Law Enforcement Officers in this situation. It would not be a community organizer - they could ask a local law enforcement officer to check, but have no right to demand it from you. I found this (but am curious as to how a "designee or contractor" would identify themselves in the field):
"A Representative of Compliance is a person who is authorized by the FAA to conduct inspections, tests, and demonstrations of compliance for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) under Part 107. A Representative of Compliance may be an FAA employee, a designee, or a contractor
A Representative of Compliance may request to see the remote pilot certificate, the registration, and the operating rules of a sUAS operator, as well as inspect the sUAS and its equipment, and observe the operation. A Representative of Compliance may also issue notices of proposed civil penalties or other enforcement actions for violations of Part 107"
I just saw that answer for the lights in my study. The drone definitely has to be visible at night
Thank you! I hope to test sometime in Dec. I have watched many videos on weather, mapping, and such - but I am interested with the new updates whats out there. So far I have studied maybe 5 hours but still forget recalling pertinent info (fog air maps). I did buy the red book that’s available during the test. Any thoughts on that?
It definitely can’t hurt but the books is pretty self explanatory. Dont overthink all the material in the book - they give you wayyy more than you’ll ever be tested on in that book
Off-topic but what camera are you shooting with? The quality is really good.
Just an iPhone 15 surprisingly! These cameras just keep getting better and better.
thanks for the video! i take my test on the 15th
Best of luck!! Hopefully this helped.
Did ya pass?
@@Andrew1Brooks no unfortunately not. I go again next month.
New subscriber (88)! This was super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to give us this information. I am going to schedule my test Jan2/3 not sure yet. it be nice to hit the 90% range. If I can pass is all I need. LOL. I'm just nervous Cuz I am a poor Test taker. but i will be studying all weekend up and through to the test date. That weather for me is challenging.
Thank you! I’m glad this was helpful. I felt like I had to make it because so many videos I watched during my study were out of date and missing so many key concepts that are on the new tests. Good luck on your test!! Biggest piece of advice is to take your time and read the questions slowwwwly. I got a couple wrong in practice tests just because I’d miss a crucial word that changes the whole meaning of the question
Never underestimate the power of a leather belt or a wooden spoon.
Taking mine tomorrow at 1:00.
How did it go??
@@Eloc626got an 85! I was stoked and after watching this and the videos you linked, going over sectional charts and reviewing weather that morning, I wasn’t nervous anymore. 🫡
where do we find the chart. Bought my dji last week.
