These are the resources I used to study for the part 107. I watched the video like 4 times, and studied the pdf and the practice test. Probable took like 20hrs to study for it. I passed with an 86.

I’m doing remote pilot 101 very good. But still having a hard time with airspace. Hdr3 website has free practice tests i think that’s the right place they used to make drones.

 

[Jackcutrone]

I have a private pilot certificate and I still had trouble with some of the airspace questions. Even though I passed it made me study up even more on airspace though some of the situations eg military flight routes are not often encountered where I am.

I am also doing the course study for Part 107 and struggling with the "airspace" component. My problem is a 70 year old brain! Not as spongy as it used to be!! But...soon as I pass 107, I'm going for fighter-pilot rating...snicker-snicker!!

I opted for a paid course. I chose Gold Seal UAV Ground School, they had a discount on the Phantom Pilots site a while back. While you can find all the material to study online, this was a course that presented it well and saved me the time of looking elsewhere. I passed on my first try with a 93%.

you do know if you are CURRENT on your Part 61 or other card, you can take the "Readers Digest" version of the Part 107 and do about half the work

My brain such as it is, is also 70. Go for it. I’ll be your wing man.

Past current. Need a flight review

Gold Seal UAV Ground School is what I used to study for Part 107. I was well informed and prepared by the end of their coarse. Past the test with no problems on the first try.

I am a LTA pilot and current. Spent 2hrs on computer reviewing material. Took multiple ans test at end. Needed 100% to pass. Had 2 wrong. The test allowed me to change wrong ans and I passed. Took more time to get a flight instructor to sing me off than to take test.

just passed my test I watched the Tony Northrup Video which was Handy and also took a Udemy course .
I found reading the sectional charts to be the most challenging part of the test but I watched the videos a few times and passed on the first go round

I’d say it’s a lot less work than that, excluding all the time it took to get my instructor to do all the IACRA stuff. Course and test (which allows corrections, so you can’t really fail) took maybe an hour and a half. Of course, that’s also excluding the 2-3 hours of flight time I needed to get current since my BFR had just expired, but I needed to do that anyway.

Fighter pilot rating you only have to be aware of the country border lines all else is open

what's the exact struggle you're having ?
I only ask as I may be able to offer a few pointers or tricks around it .
I found that we get more bogged down than we need to and that a good understanding of reading the sectional charts really helped out
