this is the FAA part 107 remote pilot study guide for 2025 and in this video I'm going to give you 40 questions that you'll need to answer and you'll also need the Airman knowledge testing supplement just like you would on the real part 107 exam and if you don't have it then I'll present the images on screen so you'll be able to follow along with the video now I must tell you that these questions are extremely challenging so if you have not prepared or studied then you're going to have a difficult time answering the questions but for those of you who are ready to take your exam then this is the perfect test prep for you now you'll need to get into the habit of reading these questions and you'll also need a pen and paper so you can write down your answers and at the end of the video I will tell you what the answers were for all 40 questions so let's get into it here's question number one what is the elevation AGL of the highest wind turbine obstruction figure 69 area 5 and remember you can pause the video at any time if you need to reread the question again or need more time with the diagram that I'm posting on the video and I want you to understand something very important there's a psychology behind how I'm doing this because I need to replicate the conditions of what it's going to be like when you're taking the part 107 exam so here are choices a b and c write down the correct answer so you can grade your score at the end of the video next question what is the AGL of the obstruction that operates high intensity lights and is located approximately 48° 3 minutes north latitude and 101° 24 minutes west latitude this is figure 21 and if you don't have the airman's knowledge testing supplement the actual physical book you can download it and you'll be able to use that either on your mobile device or your computer now find the obstruction at the coordinates given and write down your correct answer now some of you are already catching on that even though I want you to write down the answer I'm visually giving you the answers so that way you know exactly what it is now notice that this video is simulating how it will be when you're actually taking the exam question number three what type of activity is conducted at the Byron airport c83 that would be of importance to a remote pilot in command this is figure 74 area 2 and I'm pausing because I want you to have enough time to look at the sectional charts using your own eyes and study the information so you'll be proficient on the exam now when you're looking at the chart you should be looking for all of the airports in area 2 and in this case there's only one right and remember the question it's asking you what are the activities around that airport well look and then go ahead and answer the question appropriately now you can see the answer choices write them down so we can review them at the end of the video question number four refer to fa a c 88-2 if you see that that only is telling you to go to your testing supplement okay figure 12 based on the mear of Chicago Midway Airport kmdw what are the reported Sky conditions and visibility question number five what is the elevation range of the Class B airspace referred to figure 25 area 5 and before you go to your sectional chart I want you to glance at the answers and ask yourself is there one of them that seems as though it doesn't belong feel like I'm back on Sesame Street right but think is Class B airspace AGL or MSL and that question that I just asked automatically eliminated one of the multiple choice answers and remember the area that you're looking for is area five and this one should have been real easy to find beware the FAA is going to try to trip you up question number six you have been hired to inspect a railroad near kokaia do you need ATC approval figure 22 area one and you know what's so good about these answers is that you already know that one of these classes of airspace does not need ATC approval or authorization so within the questions that you'll find there are Clues and this is one of them now remember the question you're looking for the railroad tracks near caia right so the question is what class of airspace is directly over the railroad tracks near Calia question number seven what is the ceiling of the Class D airspace surrounding Majors gvt airport figure 24 Area 1 and before you go scrambling around looking at your sectional charts ask yourself a question is class D airspace MSL or AGL when you're looking at class D airspace on a sectional chart and you see a number with a box around it does that mean AGL or MSL well to answer there are only two classes of airspace that can be referenced at AGL and that is class G and Class E all of the other airspaces they are referenced on mean sea level class D airspace will always be referenced at MSL question number eight what airport is located approximately 47° 40 minutes north latitude and 101° 26 minutes west latitude this is figure 21 now this video doesn't offer as much details as the book or the downloaded PDF but you'll still be able to figure out exactly what it is the question is asking based on the information you're seeing on the screen and for those of you who are not using the book or the PDF download then I already know you got a 100% score on this question and here is question number nine the wind direction and velocity at kjfk is from question mark this is figure 12 and keep in mind that you're able to pause the video at any time especially when you're looking at the diagram on screen and the video that you should have watched was my mear reports video that video explained everything in detail so you should not have a problem figuring this out also now what's going to trip you up here is if the answer is supposed to be in true or magnetic so you need to watch my video on mear reports okay question number 10 the chart shows a gry line with VR1 1667 VR1 1638 and VR1 1668 could this area present A Hazard for your operation of a small UA this is figure 59 area 2 now I've already covered this in detail on one of my videos and any of you who have watched that video you already know the answer to this question now make sure you're writing down all of the answers to the questions so that way at the end of the video when I give all of the answers to you you'll have a good understanding of how well you passed question number 11 when operating an unmanned airplane the remote pilot should consider that the load factor of the Wings may be increased anytime is it a the center of gravity is shifted rearward to the AFT center of gravity limit B the airplane is subjected to Maneuvers other than straight and level flight or C the gross weight is reduced now for those of you who have been watching my videos I posted the answer to this question in video part 7 of 12 for airplane factors you'll need to go check it out if you do not know the answer to this question question number 12 a stall occurs when the smooth air flow over an unmanned airan plan's Wing is disrupted and the lift degenerates rapidly this is caused when the wing is it a exceeds the maximum speed B exceeds the maximum allowable weight or C exceeds the critical angle of attack now you're starting to get a feel for what I'm doing here I'm trying to get you into the habit of looking for this information question number 13 which category of small unmanned aircraft must have an airworthiness certificate by the FAA now you see the choices at the very bottom but at this point you're just guessing because you don't know the answer to this question and I have not yet covered this on my video series so guess what I'm going to cover it right now for you and then we'll continue on the questioning in just a few minutes the FAA has four categories 1 through four and these categories are to determine whether your drone can operate over people and moving vehicles under part 107 rules now I'm going to break this down to you in simple details so you'll know exactly what's allowed and what's not but more importantly you'll be able to answer the question that I just asked you so let's start with category one which is the simplest and easiest rule to follow if your drone weighs less than 0.55 lb or less than 250 g then you can legally fly over people without any extra FAA approvals can you believe that and let me be clear the requirements for category 1 is that your drone must weigh under 250 g also the propellers or your rotating Parts cannot be exposed you'll need some propeller guards and lastly you must comply with FAA part 107 remote ID rules and regulations now you didn't hear any mention of an airworthiness certificate for category 1 so answer C is out of the question category number two now this is for a midsize drone that weighs more than 250 g and you still intend to fly over people the requirements for category 2 is that the Drone must not cause injury greater than 11 foot-pounds of kinetic energy on impact now what the does that mean and they really expect us to have some interpretation of this right well I'm going to explain it to you since nobody else will kinetic energy is a physics formula measured in foot pounds or jewels and to break this down very simply if your drone weighs 250 g and it's Free Falling at a speed of 20 or 30 ft per second there will be a force that is calculated when the Drone impacts or hits something and without me going into physics or metaphysics the only thing that you need to understand is that the Drone must not cause injury greater than 11 lbs of kinetic energy on impact also same as before no exposed rotor blades but there is something that has been added to Category 2 and that is an FAA approved means of compliance and I know you're asking what is that well basically all that is is just a checklist to see if your drone actually qualifies for category 2 if you have any questions about this just post a comment and I'll send you the link now going back to the question you can see that you don't have to worry about Category 2 because it's not even one of the answer choices so let's move to category number three and you can see immediately that there is an increase to 25 foot- PBS of kinetic energy and all of the other requirements are exactly the same as category number two and going back to the question you can see they didn't mention anything about an airworthiness certificate so by process of elimination the correct answer is going to be number four but let's go over category number four anyway and as you can see the first requirement for category 4 is that you must have an FAA airworthiness certificate and just for a point of reference category 4 is for large industrial drones where an airworthiness certificate is required these drones are large professional drones for inspections deliveries industrial applications this and that and at this section of the video I'm going to take a quick break break and I'm going to allow you to subscribe to this channel okay I'll be right back question number 14 what do the blue lines on the map below represent on a sectional chart figure 80 and if you turn to figure 80 this will be page 277 you'll see a sectional chart with a whole bunch of blue lines running all over it and you've probably seen this on all of the other sectional charts but you just completely disregarded it because there wasn't anyone to bring it to your attention well you know I'm going to do it those lines represent what's called Victor Airways and no they're not military training routes so put that out of your head Victor Airways are like highways in the sky that sounds like an old country song doesn't it well anyway they're basically used for low altitude aircrafts that are flying under 18,000 ft MSL and they're flying with instrument flight rules IFR you'll know that these are Victor Airways because not only are they light blue but they have the designation of V before the number for example v80 or v316 these routes fly under IFR instrument flight rules and their routes are based on V which stands for very high frequency omnidirectional range they use V for navigational Aids on these specific routes so back to the question do you think you know what the answer is now and I promise you you won't get that question wrong on the part 107 exam question 15 what type of flights are being conducted as indicated by IR 678 in figure 26 area three and this is going to seem funny but if you get this one halfway wrong then close that book and start all over again from the first video look closely they giving you half of the answer because there are two things in common military training route and 1500 ft AGL for all three answers there are only two discrepancies here IFR or VFR and whether it's above 1500 ft or below 1500 ft and you already know that this is a military training route so go to figure 26 Area 3 and get the appropriate answer you're looking at IR 678 why is that familiar to you you know I've become aware of how perceptive you all are by the comments that you've been sending me you see you're probably asking why did Mike have us go to this map because there really wasn't any need to go there and the reason I have you going to the map is so that way you can practice but the answer is already in the question IR 678 anyone who's watched my video before would know that IR stands for instrument and the other 678 means that it is above 1500 ft so I did not need to go to the map to figure out the answer to that question and you won't either because I just gave you the answer question number 16 what is the height of the lighted obstacle approximately 6 nautical miles Southwest of Savannah International figure 23 Area 3 now I'm not going to lie to you this one got me the first time I saw this question it threw me for a loop and that's because I didn't know what to look for but I'm going to show you what to look for and at this moment you should already be on figure 23 Area 3 now Orient yourself just for a moment straighten up and ask yourself what are you looking for if you don't know what you're looking for right now go back to the question do you see how I'm training you all like Jedi Knights right now so you get the information first before you start looking for something it mentioned a lighted obstacle Southwest of Savannah Airport now which one of those obstacles is lighted if you don't know that answer then you need to go to the legend and find out based on this symbols and the diagrams which one of those obstacles is considered as a lighted obstacle I'm going to zoom in so you can see it clearly how's that do you see it yet well I'm going to point to it there it is it's the only thing that has the little lightning bolts on the top and all the other obstacles are not lighted so this is the one they're referring to now all you have to try to figure out is which numbers are going to correspond with that lighted obstacle so which one do you think it is do you think it's the one on the bottom or do you think it's the one on the top well all of the other obstacles have numbers next to them to indicate their height and the only numbers that are closest to that lighted Tower are the two that say 1,548 ft MSL and below that since it's AGL is 1,534 Ft AGL so since I don't see a 1,534 in my answer choices the only logical answer will be c548 ft MSL and remember the top number is always in MSL the bottom number in Brackets will be in AGL let's take a quick break question number 17 under part 107 regulations how often must a remote pilot renew the registration of an suas now as simple as this question may seem you'll be surprised at how many people get this question wrong the reason for that is because there's a mental confusion with the word registration and the word certification those are two completely separate definitions and what happens here is when you're taking the exam you'll read the question so quickly and automatically assume that you know what they're talking about but you need to pay attention to what they're asking they're asking for the registration of your drone not your certification as a remote pilot so mark down the correct answer and we'll check it at the end of the video now check out this next question question 18 if an suas weighs 10 lb what approximate weight would the suas structure be required to support during a a 60° Bank turn while maintaining current altitude figure two now I'm going to be very transparent with you right now I love these type of questions and the reason I do is because they're giving me the answer in the question can you feel it can you see it my young Padawan I explained this in detail in my load Factor video and what you're looking for is the degree of angle on a bank turn of an aircraft and with the weight that they're giving me at 10 lb I already know the answer and so do you because I'm going to give you the key so you can remember anytime that you see something that says 60° Bank angle that means that the weight will double it's physics it's law it's gravity so write down the correct answer and when you're taking the part 107 exam Remember the force is with you so let's move to question number 19 at an airport When approaching a hold short yellow lines with two continuous lines closest to the nose of the aircraft the pilot a may continue crossing over B should not cross the lines without ATC clearance or C should continue taxiing until all parts of the aircraft have crossed the lines now if you were reading this and you didn't have a clue about airport markings and signs what would you think your most appropriate answer would be in this situation write down your answer and then review it at the end of the video to see if you were correct question number 20 referring to figure 25 Area 3 if Dallas executive tower is not in operation which frequency should be used as the common traffic advisory frequency seaf to monitor airport traffic now before we do anything else I want to tell you something these three frequencies that you see below are actual frequencies at this particular airport they didn't make this up and what's so sneaky about the FAA is that they used all of the three frequencies that are at at this particular airport and they didn't even tell you which one is a seab frequency because they want to trip you up and you can just simply answer the question right now if you already know what that cab frequency is but if you don't then it's time for somebody to give you some information that you do not already have the first thing that you should be asking yourself because they emphasized this in the question is what exactly is seaf and this was supposed to be a test but I just turned it into a tutorial sea is a frequency that's used by pilots to commun unicate their intentions or their positions when the control tower is closed and trust me I know what you're thinking how are they going to communicate to a control tower and nobody's there well the answer they're not actually communicating to the control tower they're actually communicating to all of the other traffic that's out there and everyone is on the same frequency so the only question that should be in your head right now is hm is the control tower frequency always going to be the same as the cab frequency and that answer is not necessarily you see the control tower frequency that you're looking at right now which has the letter CT next to it on the left is 17.25 mahz and it's going to confuse you because you're going to say this is the control tower frequency but where is the cab frequency at some airports the cab frequency is the same frequency as what the control tower was using before it closed that's the case here with Dallas Executive Airport their cab frequency is the control tower frequency when the control tower is closed and the next logical question is well how do I know if the cab frequency is different than the control tower frequency well that's very easy to answer because the frequency for the CAF if it is different will say CAF next to it and here is the last question do you now know what the correct answer for this question is well let's move to the next one question number 21 now this question is one that is very simple but nothing is simple unless it was EXP explain to you in the correct way you see the disadvantage is that some instructors and some instructional courses have a lot of information it's just that they don't know how to take the information and present it in a way that is universal that is understood by everyone because we all learn in different ways and we all listen and hear things and see things differently so this question that you've been staring at more than likely will be the reason why you may either pass or fail it could be the deciding factor so let me give you an example for something that you've heard from everyone else if I said to you that the correct answer is between 0.55 lb and 55 lb your brain will only understand that I said 55 lb so it needs to be articulated clearly and correctly so you understand exactly what that means and not only that but you need to hear it in the way that the FAA explained it the FAA does not have anything published that says between a certain weight they say that it is anything less than 55 lb that's when you will comply with 14 CFR part 107 in regard to an suas small unmanned aircraft systems weight and now that you know the correct answer that's the answer that they're looking for on the part 107 exam question number 22 if an unmanned aircraft weighs 33 lb what approximate weight would the aircraft structure be required to support during a 30° banked turn while maintaining altitude this is in figure two the choices that you have are 38 lb 34 lb or 47 lb now I know based on a question we just previously had before that you remember that a 60° Bank turn is going to double the weight but that is not the case here when we're talking about a 30° Bank turn because these turns and these angles all correspond exponentially meaning it is not a linear equation you will not get the same results just because you know what 60° is doesn't mean that you're going to know what 30° means this is all trigonometry and you have to rely on the graph that's being presented in figure two to make the appropriate calculations so let me explain this very easily for you do you see the blue column that has all of the bank angle and degrees well the degrees that you're looking for is 30° am I right and right next to that you will see the load Factor the load factor is 1.54 and all you have to do in this situation in regard to this question is multiply 1.54 * 33 lb and you will get your answer so write it down and I'm going to move to the next one question 23 when adapting crew Resource Management CRM Concepts to the operation of a small unmanned aircraft CRM must be integrated into a All Phases of the operation B the flight portion only or C only the communications area now okay so this is what I would call a question that is a no-brainer the reason for that is because the question the way it's asked and the information in the question and the answers that are provided all hinge on what's called testing design psychology you see even if you did not study on this topic you would be able to derive the correct answer because the question itself has keyword and the multiple choice only points to one answer and I think that you're all aware of what the correct answer will be here but let me show you how to be a little bit smarter than the average polar bear and you'll understand why subconsciously whoever wrote this question wanted to give you the correct answer anyway you see the word operation is in the question and that word operation is also in one of the multiple choice answers and when we think of operation we think of something that encompasses all and when we think of all we know that there's something something that has to do with parts or phases so the correct answer is a All Phases of the operation did you see how I came up with that and to have even more of a definitive confirmation the two remaining answers both have the word only in them and the words only will limit an operation instead of enhancing a management system now if I don't get a like And subscribe on that one then I'm done question number 24 refer to figure 25 area 4 what is the base altitude of Cl m b airspace directly over Hicks airport t67 now you all should be turning pages on your testing supplement because this is what you're going to need to do for the exam if you're having difficulty looking at the charts then you need to get a magnifying glass I'm putting it up on screen here so that way you'll be able to see it if you don't have the supplement with you now when you get to figure 25 what's the first thing that you're looking for raise your hand oh I forgot this is a YouTube video but I know some of you raised your hand anyway so you're looking for a little red ball with a number four in the middle that's area four and the question is asking you to look for Hicks airport but actually the correct name for that facilities Hicks Airfield but what do I know so now that you know where the Airfield is located let's go back to the question see exactly what they're looking for and you can see it's very specific here because they're only looking for the floor or the base of Class B airspace that's directly over Hicks and now that you know what they want where are you looking to find the base altitude of Class B airspace that's over Hicks now come on I can't hold your hand now you're going to have to take the test all by yourself and you need to know how to find this information that's the whole purpose of this video so I'm not going to say anything I'm just going to allow you to look and find the information right down your answer now just a little off topic here I'm interested in setting up a live stream so that way I can interact with you all better answer some of the questions that you have and really show you some of these points that you need to know if you think that that suggestion is something that will improve the learning then let me know in the comments and I'll see what I can do okay so I've given you enough time as much as I want to I don't want to give you the answer right now because I want you to understand that you have to take the exam and learn how to find this answer by yourself the answer will be at the end of the video but here are some things that will help you to point you in the right direction the section of the class of airspace or the layer or the shelf that is directly over h Airfield indicates the height or the ceiling of the altitude and then also underneath that same number indicates the floor or the base of that section of airspace and if you've been struggling to find those numbers I'm going to show you by zooming in on screen but here's the thing you still have to figure out the correct answer to the question and you can see that the FAA is trying to make it difficult for you so you need to know what this answer is write it down we will see what it is at the end of the video question 25 according to 14 CFR part 107 the responsibility to inspect the small unmanned aircraft system suas and to ensure it is in safe operational condition rests with the okay let's touch on this just for a second you can already read the answers for yourself I don't need to read them but here's the important thing that you need to know anytime you see the words who's responsible on a part 107 exam there's only one answer to that and that is the remote pilot in command now I want to go into just a few more aspects of this so that way I can enhance your level of understanding the remote pilot in command does not always have to be the person who is physically operating the Drone the rpic might be the person who's directly supervising the flight to ensure all operations comply with FAA regulations and in some cases it may even be the visual Observer who's controlling the Drone and the rpic is supervising ready to take control at any moment but essentially the remote pilot in command is always the one who is responsible for the safety of the flight and must have the ability to take control if needed you see the FAA allows under part 107 for a remote pilot in command to supervise someone who has less experience as a pilot flying a drone but it is not allowed if the remote pilot in command walks away from the person who's flying the Drone and then loses is the ability to have complete oversight over the operation this is how you associate a great operational manager who has been certified as a remote pilot in command and I just wanted to bring those points up because they're not really mentioned often and having this information is how you build your character as a responsible remote pilot question number 26 and it's amazing we would just discussing character and here's the question identify the Hazardous attitude or characteristic a remote pilot in command displays while taking risks in order to impress others now there are some keywords in the question here and if you don't utilize all of the keywords then using only some of the keywords may lead you in the wrong direction in regard to the answer but this specific question is one that you will need to commit to memory after you've studied the five hazardous attitudes and I do have a video on that one also but here's the thing if you do not remember what you tried to commit to memory then there is a way to get around this you see the question here has some key words and those words are hazardous attitude and then taking risks and really if they only gave you those key words and that's all you had then essentially all of the answers would apply but there are two other key words that were conveniently included in the question and those two words are impress others and that is the dead giveaway for the answer answer if you had no idea of what they were talking about in the question and I'm confident now that without me even telling you which one is correct that you know exactly which answer you need to put down on that paper question number 27 wi share can exist now what kind of question is this if you didn't know what winshare was then there's no way that you're going to get this answer correctly because really if you look at the answers and really think about the question all three of these answers can be correct but Houston we have problem because the FAA only wants you to choose one and the FAA also has a website at faasafety.gov where they will explain exactly what winshare is and then you'd be able to answer the question appropriately and here's the thing if you have critical thinking then you already know what the correct answer is because the answer is in the question and as simple as this question is they still couldn't hide the fact that they gave the answer away simply by by using the words can exist you see the phrase can exist suggests that the wind share is not limited to a single altitude and oppositely if they would have chose to use the words only can exist then that means that they're only referring to one specific altitude do you see how I'm improving the way you perceive the question on the part 107 exam my young Padawan can exist points to a condition that can occur anywhere and in the the multiple choice answers there is only one that points to all altitudes and that is a but here's the thing about logical deduction you have to look at the other two answers to confirm that they are not correct and I can do that simply by telling you that if B or C were correct that would mean that wind share never occurs at the other altitude ranges and that would be very unlikely so I've just confirmed that it cannot be B or C the correct answer is a question number 28 on a VFR sectional chart what does the letter r with a circle around it represent a remote pilot checkpoint B refueling facility or C private or restricted airport you'll be able to find this answer in your Legend write it down and then we'll move to the next question now question number 29 a stable air mass is most likely to have which characteristic now what you need to understand is the difference between a stable air mass and unstable air mass I have a video that points that out my weather video and I went into extreme detail about this particular topic and what I want you to understand is that this area is so crucial for Pilots to understand that the FAA will probably have this on a part 107 exam maybe 90% of the time so I'm going to give you a very cool and simple analogy so you understand what stable air actually is imagine yourself taking water putting it into a pan pan and then putting it onto the stove and then turning the heat at a very low temperature the water would not start boiling like crazy it would just be flat getting warm and you would see the steam Rising a little bit from the water just like you would see the fog when you have stable air and then you would have this mist or this moisture that's coming from the top as you put your hand over the pan and that's similar to the precipitation that you experience when you have stable air and then if you look closely and you see because of the moisture and the steam that the visibility is a little bit reduced that's what happens with stable air and do you get how calm and relaxed everything is even though I have the pan with water on the stove but what happens if I took my hand and turned up the heat full blast full flame and then the pan starts boiling with the air around it becoming turbulent with Gusty winds sudden rain thunderstorms cumulous clouds and one key factor that differ differentiates them both is that unstable air has extremely good visibility can you believe that so the correct answer for stable air is the opposite of unstable air and you can mark down poor visibility as the correct answer for stable air conditions question number 30 you have been hired as a remote pilot in command by a local TV news station to film breaking news with a small unmanned aircraft you expressed your safety concern and and the station manager has instructed you to fly first ask questions later what type of hazardous attitude does this attitude represent again look for the key wordss this time they marked the key wordss for you in quotation marks they're trying to make you think that this is a difficult question by adding a whole bunch of unnecessary words that don't need to be there for example this question could have been the station manager instructed you to fly first and ask questions later done so mark down the correct answer that you already know question 31 while operating a small unmanned aircraft system suas you experience a FlyAway and several people suffer injuries which one of the following injuries require reporting to the FAA well I think that Common Sense alone will give you the correct answer but let me give you the details according to 14 CFR part 107.9 you must report an accident to the FAA within 10 days if number one the accident resulted in a serious injury to a person that required hospitalization or two the accident resulted in property damage that exceeded $500 and you've heard this before you've been checking out the other videos but what you may not have heard is how do you report the accident listen if you give a set of car keys to a teenager and you've never showed them how to drive the car what do you think is going to happen the information on how to submit the report is just as important as when you're supposed to report it don't you agree so let me give you the 411 you have 10 days to report the accident where you need to go is at the FAA drone zone website the specific area you're looking for is accident incident reporting section you'll need to be logged into your account fill out the form and the information they'll be requesting is up on screen right now after you've completed everything submit the form and then you will get a confirmation that the report has been filed and now that I've given you the keys to the C drive it on to the correct answer and we'll review at the end of the video question 32 What is the characteristic of unstable air now we've already done this already before so key thing to remember here is that unstable air will always have good visibility and if you notice in the answer choices that there's only one that has good visibility the other two have poor surface visibility when you see this question on the part 107 exam train your brain to remember that unstable air good visibility stable air poor visibility question number 33 regarding Category 3 operations over people the small unman aircraft must not cause injury equivalent or greater than the impact of now you see the three choices here 25 footb of kinetic energy 5 footb of kinetic energy 11 ftlb of kinetic energy are you starting to notice that there is a pattern now that the questions are now becoming easier because they're repetitive and we've gone over this before this is what's going to happen the the more questions that you have then they become easier because you've already had versions of those questions previously before and I've just put the answer up on screen and the reason that I'm not speaking the answer is because some of you might want to just take the exam as you were taking it on the part 107 exam without actually hearing the answer so keep practicing on these exam questions over and over again so that way you become proficient oh and by the way I have another exam question video and that one's going to be over one 100 questions subscribe question number 34 with ATC authorization you are operating your small unmanned aircraft approximately four statute miles Southeast of Elizabeth City Regional Airport ECG this is on figure 20 what hazard is indicated to be at that area now before you do anything look at the question disect it the reason I'm pointing this out to you is because there's a reason why they're putting all of these unnecessary words in there and that is because they're trying to confuse you so disregard anything that is not pertinent information now let's look at the answers there are two similar answers here and The only discrepancy is that one is AGL the other is MSL automatically without even looking at the sectional chart this is a dead giveaway because I know that this indication of 38 ft either MSL or AGL is going to be listed on the chart so now let me pull up the chart and find it look at that there it is exactly South Northeast of Elizabeth City Regional Airport Bingo they should have just put this thing up on a giant billboard read it caution unmarked balloon on cable to 38 ft MSL check nms it's right there in front of your face and do you notice with some of these questions that I don't even need to give you the answer they're giving it to you for free and all you need to do is to make sure that you don't accidentally Mark the one that says AGL question number 35 according to 14 CFR part 107 what is required to operate a small unmanned aircraft within 30 minutes after Sunset now if you've all watched my first video you already know this answer right off the bat and if you have not watched my vide you know let's just say you've never watched anything in your entire life would this question be difficult well it might be you know why it's because you're thinking too much you see the question is only asking you what do you need or what's required After official Sun said so even if you ask a 5-year-old a simple question like what do you need when everything goes dark they're going to say we need lights well of course we do my young Padawan anti-collision lights are always required 30 minutes after Sunset that's why they call it Civil Twilight and you know what's so crazy is that they use the word lighted and lights twice in the same answer are you starting to see the light that the part 107 exam is going to be relatively easy for you well I'm going to make it much easier for you by by going into the details and making it seem as though it's much more difficult so here's a question that's related to the question that you're looking at what happens after 31 minutes and I bet you didn't see that question coming did you you see 30 minutes after sunset or 30 minutes before Sunrise that is what's called Civil Twilight and you're able to fly within those 30 minutes as long as you have anti-collision lights and the anti-collision lights must be visible for three statured miles now 31 minutes after official Sunrise you don't need anti-collision lights anymore because it's already daylight but 31 minutes after official sunset means that it's already dark so what do you do well I'm going to tell you there is something called Beyond Civil Twilight and that has to do with flying at night and if you wanted to fly a night operation the way it used to be done before is that you needed to get a waiver but not anymore a waiver is no longer required you see as of April 21st of 2021 if you complete an FAA night training course then you can fly at night without a waiver but here's the information that no one else will give you that training course is only applicable if you received your license before April 31st of 2021 if you took the exam and passed after April 31st of 20121 then you don't need to take training because the FAA has already approved you that you would be able to fly a night operation if you have anti-collision lights for three statute miles without having to take any additional training courses the part 107 night flying update is already included in the current exam and you won't need to take any additional training to fly your drone at night now for you Old-Timers who got your license before April 21st of 2021 well don't worry you see the faa's 24-month online reoccurring training which replac the old in-person walk-in recurrent test now the online recurrency includes the night operations training as part of its curriculum but here's the thing old-timer if you have not taken the reoccurrence training since before April of 2021 then your part 107 certificate is no longer valid for commercial drone operations I just thought I'd mention that because it's something that's not really discussed whenever you see these training courses now let's move on to the next question number 36 referring to figure 22 area 2 at cordan Boyington which frequency should be used as the common traffic advisory frequency CA to announce position and intentions now I have the sectional chart up on screen and I've also put the frequencies on the top right for your convenience so that way you can look around and once you find the cab frequency go ahead and mark the correct answer down on your paper at the end of the video you will see what that answer was I'm not going to tell you what this is because you're going to have to find this out for yourself remember you're taking the part 107 exam all by yourself but I'm going to give you a motivational clue so that way you can push forward find the answer go to your Legend and look under airport data and there you will find some references in regard to ca now you've all had enough time to pause the video if you needed to and mark down the correct answer let's move to the next question number 37 an increase in load Factor will cause cuse an unmanned aircraft to a stall at a higher speed B have a tendency to spin C be more difficult to control now this is an excellent question because the question is so simple but at the same time requires a complex answer so let me give you a simple analogy with complex elements but before I do that I want you to remember something it's going to be on the part 107 exam what I'm about to say when they're talking about increase of load Factor as you see in the question an increase means that the aircraft is being subjected to something else or some other Force that's taking it away from flying straight and level for example if you're making a banked turn or if you're climbing or if you are descending or even if you have turbulence or wind that is Shifting the plane around all of these things will contribute to the increase of load Factor so now that you know that all you have to do now is to figure out what does load factor mean in very simple terms load factor is the amount of Force that's acting on the aircraft whenever it's making a maneuver so if the plane is making a banked turn then the forces on the structure of the aircraft will make it feel heavier and when the aircraft feels heavier due to the increased load Factor it naturally wants to descend unless the pilot takes action and what a trained pilot will do is to counteract the weight that is being felt by tilting the nose up slightly to increase the angle of attack and in some cases adding throttle to help maintain maintain air speed so that way the aircraft does not stall in mid-flight now the reason I gave you that analogy is because I want you to appreciate what these Pilots actually do but more importantly I wanted you to understand that the increase in load Factor can potentially make a plane stall so here is how I sum this up so you can get the correct answer a single engine airplane will fly at 150 mph on a straight and level flight but if the air speed is reduced to 50 mph then the airplane will stop all in midair and that's because the wings can no longer generate lift now imagine the same plane on a straight and level flight begins to turn and that's when the plane starts feeling heavier because of the load factor and it wants to descend and instead of stalling at 50 m an hour when it was flying straight and level it's now going to stall at 100 mph because it feels heavier and that brings you to your answer because when the load Factor increases the stall speed will be higher so do you you see why this simple question could not be explained simply and now I'm going to take a complicated break okay so question 38 what is the standard temperature and pressure values at C Level okay so this is one of those questions that you would not know the answer to unless someone explained it to you or unless you researched it yourself so here's what I can tell you for many many years scientists and meteorologists began studying the atmosphere to determine pressure and temperature and what they came up with after all these years of data and research is that there is an average temperature and an average pressure at sea level and these average values are now used as a standard reference point for Pilots you see there's a lot more to flying a plane than just wearing some high dollar Aviation sunglasses Pilots use these reference values to calibrate their barometers their altimeters their air speed indicators their temperature sensors their Environmental Control Systems inside the aircraft these reference numbers are very important for airplane pilots and also remote Pilots now there's a little device on an airplane called an altimeter and what this little gauge does is that it takes the outside pressure measures it and then converts it into an altitude and guess what they just so happen to be using to calibrate this little wonderful device you guessed it it is the standard temperature and pressure values at sea level or STP and you need to know what the correct values are or else you'll be calibrating incorrectly so since I can't provide any additional details or explanations this is one of those questions that you have to commit the answer to memory so there you have it 15° C and 29.92 in of mercury lock those two numbers into your brain and when you see that on the part 107 exam you will know exactly what the correct answer will be question number 39 during the life cycle of a thunder storm which stage is characterized predominantly by downdrafts now if you watched my video on weather you already know the answer to this question but if you did not watch the video then I'm going to give you some details that will help you and there are two words here that you need to pay attention to predominantly and downdrafts and what's so convenient is that they're telling you what the three stages of a thunderstorm is so if you have this question again on the part 107 exam all you have to do is to refer back to this question and you can answer the question appropriately now what's important here is mentally you need to put the answers in the correct order and by telling you this I'm also asking you a question what is the first stage of a thunderstorm and I'm putting this diagram up so you can see the correct order but also I'm showing you what the answer is to the question but you'll need additional information in order to fully understand the concept A thunderstorm has three distinct stages and before any of these stages even occur something happens first and that is warm air begins to rise and as it rises because of the pressure difference it begins to cool and once it cools it condenses and the condensation turns into little water Vapors or mist and that mist forms a small little Cloud now there's no harm done there's nothing crazy about that it's nature it's naturally going to happen that way but if the warm air continues up into the cloud and continues Cooling and condensing into the cloud the CL CL is going to start developing upwards and thus we have the first stage of a thunderstorm called the cumulus stage and with these elements in place with the warm air Rising this cumulus cloud will continue to grow vertically sometimes reaching an altitude of over 40,000 ft now what is so apparent here is that this is all warm air moving upwards there's nothing coming down there's no downdrafts everything is moving upwards and you notice that there is no rain it's just a developing Cloud that is building energy and what happens next as the cloud keeps growing taller is that the water droplets and the condensation inside start becoming larger and heavier and eventually all of the warm air Rising that was holding and pushing all of the moisture up can no longer support the heavy water droplets so what happens then huh we enter into the mature stage where everything starts coming down Heavy Rain moisture hail coming down rapidly and as it's falling it's bringing the cool air with it downdrafts but remember the key words in the question they're looking for predominantly having downdrafts such as mainly having downdrafts and that's not the case here with the mature stage because the mature stage still has warm air rising and I'm giving you a two for two on this question because the most dangerous stage in the three stages of a thunderstorm is the mature stage and that is definitely going to be on the part 107 exam but going back to the question they're asking for which stage has predominantly downdrafts and the correct answer for that question is the dissipating stage because there are only downdrafts associated with the dissipating stage and there are no longer any updrafts to consider now here's the question again so you can put everything in order and also Mark the correct answer and now we come to the final question and you know that I've saved The Best For Last this is question number 40 you are flying an suas weighing 57 lb at 40 m hour the operation requires that the Drone fly over people which part 107 category would this drone apply to would it be a category 2 B Category 3 or C category 4 now I'm not going to be providing any clues hints or suggestions in regard to this question this is the one that you're going to have to go and find the answer answer yourself and the answer sheet that I'm going to be posting shortly also does not have the answer on it and if you need to know the answer you know you can always send me a comment and I will answer you in detail and you can always go into the video description and send me an email as well now I've just put the answers up on the screen and for all of you who are getting ready to take the part 107 exam it's very important that you know the details of these questions and not just memorize the answers now this answer sheet is really just material for right now because I've already given you the answers throughout the course of this video but if you have any questions you can leave me a comment I'll answer the best I can hey don't forget to leave a like and hit that subscribe button okay that's about all I have for this week 10 of 12 next week until then I'll see you on the next one
