sUAS 107 - Study Materials

Oblitius · Jan 28, 2017

Hello,

Unsure if there is a thread about this already, if so could someone please direct me there.

I've done a lot of googling about study materials for the part 107,
I've seen a lot of materials and sites that you can pay for, which I'm sure they are well worth it.

Currently I've just been reading through the study guide on the FAA website.

However I would like to ask everyone here who does have it, could you tell me where and what materials you used to get it. Or what your study habits and tips are.

Also this is my first post here, glad to meet you all.
Thank you,
Oblitius

I just passed the test Friday. It was not easy. Study the maps!

This was an amazing resource: FAA Drone Pilot Test Study Guides | 3D Robotics - Drone & UAV Technology

I used this to study plus ready the official study material provided by the FAA.

Congratulations NOLA-J! No small feat from what I've seen.

Study THIS! Well, not all, since it's also for all other types of pilots. Completely and thoroughly understand everything about the charts.

I just passed my test Friday. The above is the supplement that was used in the test.

This is the FAA study guide - also a must study. Concentrate on air space.

I've been taking and retaking all their sUAS question banks. I'm pretty sure I'm passing my test later this month.

Good luck everyone! Feel free to ask questions if needed.

Know how to use the two legends. Pages 1-19. This supplement will be provided to you when you take the test. If they do not, ask for it.

GreatScott · Feb 8, 2017

Great information above! Even though you have seen it everywhere, remember to use the legend on the sectionals. It will help you not make mistakes on simple questions with a twist. I.e.

obstacles in MSL/AGL etc.

Good Luck!

Know what the following means:

4977 UC
(1432)

You will probably to better than you think. I was worrying about passing and got a 92. When I got up from the computer, I certainly didn't think I had that. Use our time and go over it again. You'll do great!
