Question about upcoming faa test for recreational flyers

[koopyetz]

Any thoughts about what questions might be asked for this test. Would parts of 107 study guides be useful to review for this safety and knowledge test.

Thanks for your input.

Thank you for your reply.

My guess is that it is not at all about real knowledge rather it is more about education. I suspect that the questions will be extremely simplistic (what is the max altitude that you can fly, true or false... unmanned aircraft need to give way to manned aircraft, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow, etc.)

Since the major concern and reason for establishing this test is primarily making sure everyone understands airspace regulations my guess would be that the test is primarily going to consist of questions on airspace regulations and the basics of reading a sectional chart.

Thank you. Unladen swallow. : )

If the Canadian one is any example you better start studying HARD. I just took mine today. Wow.

I'm thinking it's more along the lines of a quiz than a test.

Thank you. Unladen swallow. : )

The swallow, would it be an African or European swallow?

I suspect it's going to be fairly simple and easy. Think of it as a pop-quiz on the current hobby rules with a few questions about how to read a sectional and maybe how to interpret weather.

 

[koopyetz]

Thanks to all for you comments and humor ?

I think it will be more like the DJI quiz that came up when I activated my first DJI mavic, and my wifes Spark.... just a hunch.

Because of all the new rules for Hobbyist I am going after the Part 107 Cert

While it's an option, it's probably not the best option for most people who want to fly for fun since there are more rules to follow.

Where I live the FAA has almost the entire city in a lock down for me to fly as a Hobbyist and as I see it is only going to get worse in the future

how so? please explain.

According to the FAA Map a Recreational Drone Flyer is locked down to requesting the LAANC Approval...see map

Should be a pcs of cake!
