Hey all,
I'm currently a hobbyist flier with a single (Mavic Air) SUAV.
I'm actually fairly good at passing certification exams, when there's a decent test-prep, to help me learn the material that's on the exam.
So three questions:
1) As a hobbyist who likes the idea of using LAANC, but of course LAANC isn't yet ready for hobbyist fliers, would it make sense for me to get my Part 107?
2) Does anyone know of any solid on-line test prep that's exam-like, that runs you through all the questions, explaining why questions are right/wrong? I do fairly well studying from books and materials or whatever, but exams, I need to study in an exam-like way.
3) Is there a practical exam portion of the Part 107 or is it all just written multiple-choice?
Also, do I have to go somewhere to take the exam? I'm assuming?
I'm asking these questions because it seems like a lot of laws/rules are changing over the next few months, and I'd like to make a good decision one way or the other.
No one is paying me to fly my drone, but sometimes I like to sell my pictures, so I don't know if that constitutes a "commerical use" of a drone, after the fact.
