I've watch every one of your videos associated with the part 107 test. Gleaned a lot of information I did not have before. Very well explained. Thanks for making the videos.
Outstanding job presenting what I found to be very difficult questions. You presented the material succinctly and clearly without any extra babble some trainers spew. Thank you
i unfortunately didn't pass my first time, so i'm looking to retake the test in a couple weeks. a lot of questions that i received were chart questions and weather questions, all of which i admit i didn't know much of because the studying material i used did not go over these aspects in greater detail. thank you for providing these! it makes so much more sense now
Yes, they could be. They were the hardest to understand. But once you know it, there is nothing ambiguous about this material. I got most of the answers wrong on the other material that was hardly difficult, just slipped through the cracks. Also, be sure to sign up for the ASA update email list here: asa2fly.com/faa-knowledge-exams-updates/. If you bought their 2023 study guide, they have already incorporated their most recent update (issued in August 2022) in there.
I'm confused about question 2. Like you said, the legend says the fuzzy red circle means the floor is 700 ft extended up to 17999. Why is the correct answer C? I thought the magenta segmented circle is from the SFC to 699? Oh wait, never mind, I just got it! To me that was kind of a tricky ? but I heard the test is full of ?s like that lol. Thanks!
Could you explain why the answer is not "B"? As you said, Barnes County Airport is within the boundary of the magenta circle that represents a Class E airspace. Am I missing something?
Hi Carlos, please take a look at my blog post on this video. There I explain why choice B is incorrect. blokhinfilms.com/2023/06/12/faa-part-107-exam-sectional-charts-test-questions/
The key to answer this question is the word "overlying". When you see this word in questions about airports, it means an airspace other than the one, where the airport is located. In this instance, it is class G airspace from surface up to 699 feet AGL, making choice C the answer. Choice B is wrong. If you look at the sectional charts legend, you will see that the magenta shaded line means class E airspace from 700 feet AGL up to but not including 18,000 feet MSL. Choice B tells you that the airspace is class E up to 1,200 feet AGL, which is not correct. It should be from 700 feet AGL and up. Either way, the overlying airspace refers to the airspace other than class E, where Barnes airport is located. Think of the word "overlying" as intersecting airspace and other than than the airspace of the airport.
@@BlokhinFilms Actually faded magenta means Class E with a floor of 700ft above surface ( its starts at 700ft ). So what they mean is, the Airspace Directly Overlying which is Class G up to 699ft. The Class E starts at 700ft so its technically NOT the first airspace directly over the airport.

To convert degrees decimal to degrees minutes, multiple the fractional part of the decimal degrees by 60 to get the minutes. For example: 46.9N = 46 deg (0.9 x 60= 54) 54 minutes north. Same for longitude: 98.6W (degrees decimal) is 98 degrees (0.6 x 60 = 36) 36 minutes W.

Glad you found it helpful!
Wow! Great explanation for every aspect! Super useful information!
Thank you so much! I have my exam in 1.5 weeks🤞
Thank you! Best of luck on your exam!
@@BlokhinFilms spasibo! 🙏
how did it go?
@@LawnBunny777 passed it with 91% (as I remember) 👍👍
I have watched all your videos associated with the Part 107. I learned alot. Thanks for making the videos.
Question #3 was a doozie... with 4 airspaces all contained around one airport. Thanks for the clarification on how that works.
You are welcome. Yes, that one was tricky!
Have you scheduled your test yet?
Thank you so much for explaining some of the more complicated airspace ?s (at least in my wee little mind). I love your videos, always accurate!
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!

You are welcome. Hope it will help you pass the test the next time. Which materials did you use to study?
Damn. This was a hard one! I think sectional charts are going to be the hardest part of the test for me.

Haha, yes lots of tricky questions but most are not difficult to figure out
Yeah that one had me puzzled too! lol
Thank you!!!!!!

Where are you from?
Please clarify the answer for Q 2. If the airport is surrounded by a magenta line and that indicates class E airspace, why is the answer not B?
The key to answer this question is the word "overlying". When you see this word in questions about airports, it means an airspace other than the one, where the airport is located. In this instance, it is class G airspace from surface up to 699 feet AGL, making choice C the answer. Choice B is wrong.

What is the dotted magenta line? Isn't that class E to surface?
Which question or timestamp in the video you are referring?
Hey Andriy!
Do I need to know my FTN for the test?
Or everything I need is ID (with address, etc)?
Yes, just id with your address. FTN was not needed.
@@BlokhinFilms thank you! I'm heading for the test right now 😱😹
If you invested some time to study, you should pass! Best of luck!
@@BlokhinFilms we'll see!😹😹 Thank you!
@@BlokhinFilms OMG, I passed the test! 90% score 😱 Thanks you so much Andriy! You've made definitely super useful videos! Helped a lot! 🙏
Are you rounding off 46.9 to 47 degrees?
Yes, the location is more or less approximate and not 100% precise.
To convert degrees decimal to degrees minutes, multiple the fractional part of the decimal degrees by 60 to get the minutes. For example: 46.9N = 46 deg (0.9 x 60= 54) 54 minutes north. Same for longitude: 98.6W (degrees decimal) is 98 degrees (0.6 x 60 = 36) 36 minutes W.
Q2 has to be the most confusing question I’ve seen. I’m gonna fail if they are all like that
Check out Mr MiG’s classroom he does an excellent job of breaking down sectional charts.
Very confusing.
What is confusing?
