Just know this for the exam - "CIVIL" is for private citizen part 107 operations. "PUBLIC" for the purposes of this exam means government operations. "OFF CENTER VIEWING" for night covers the fact that your peripheral vision is sharper at night and its a strategy for scanning the sky for objects in small increments for efficiency. Know "RODS" for night vision, "CONES" for day. Eyes exposed to bright light at night requires up to 30 minutes to build up more "rhodopsin". Cover one eye if exposed to light to preserve night vision. Frost and ice will appear when air temp reaches DEWPOINT or lower and decreases rotor efficiency. For STABLE vs UNSTABLE air - just know climate, clouds, visibilty, precipation and turbulence for each and you can answer the question easy. I just made a side by side chart. I just finished the Peltier course with his RU-vid discount and I have been passing all the practice exams available. Ill schedule this week. GOOD LUCK!

Thank you for your videos! They helped me pass my part 107 UAG test with a 90% and no prep courses.

Awesome score! Congrats and best of luck on your drone journeys!

@stevey8103 15 дней назад

One thing that helps me unravel the Stable vs Unstable issue is that it's not talking about lateral stability (wind). It describes the upward movement of an air mass. Generally, this means the air mass in/around a cloud. Unstable air masses indicate the up and down air currents, typically within cumulus. and cumulonimbus clouds. Stratus and cirrus clouds are visible in stable air masses. It really has nothing to do with ground level air mass... just the visibility. It's pretty useless info for an aircraft that is limited to 400 ft AGL, and another indication of bloated US Government bureaucracy. Hope this helps.

First, congrats. On the VFR waypoints question, there are VFR checkpoints and VFR waypoints. The checkpoints are used for communication with ATC. Waypoints are used for navigation.

Half of the questions you had i actually studied for as those were old 107 questions and i just had taken my test right after unfortunately right after the new 107 test exams came out after February 6th. for 2024. On the new test it was airming more so with a combination of the new laws, and of course the charts. I only really seen fout to five questions on the new 107 exams that were not on previous exams which bothered me. On all the older exams i was scoring between a 95 to 100% passing scores and was discouraged on my scores this time around but the good news is i still passed. Keep in mind the exams rotate so not everyone gets the same test but my 2024 test was infeed difficult however they are getting harder and harder it seems. I already went through my background check and recieved my temporary piliots certification. Just waiting for my license to come in the mail as i already have work lined up. I could legally start now with the certtification however I want to gain a bit more experience in the specific job ot is first.

I took my 107 yesterday, and had all or these questions on my test. I dont remember seeing any of these things in the stuff I was reviewing. Passed anyways, but of course I saw this video after my test haha, would have helped prior to my test!

Congrats on passing your 107! Glad to hear you found the video helpful, even if it was after the fact. If you ever need a refresher or more tips, feel free to stop by again. Safe flying!

@MichaelMcGill_emtwo 8 месяцев назад

Vision utilizes your your Cornea, Pupil and Lens to direct images onto the photoreceptors in your eyes, called Rods and Cones. Off-Center viewing is recommended for night viewing; by engaging your target with peripheral vision, you utilize the rods, instead of cones, in the eye. Rods are good for low-light situations. Cones, which are at the center of the eye, are more suited to daylight vision.

@stevey8103 12 дней назад

@@MichaelMcGill_emtwo - Exactly. The changing diameter of the cones is to pick up the different wavelengths of color. Rods are designed for light levels.

That so funny off center viewing is something that I do regularly to see in the dark but I never knew it was an actual thing. I thought my eyes were just weird

@MeridianMedia Месяц назад

That's awesome! It's funny how we sometimes naturally do things without realizing there's a science behind it.

@EMicheleAdams 6 месяцев назад

Congrats on passing and congrats on following up. This is exactly why results should include missed items, e.g. the nighttime central blind spot piece. You looked it up and now know. I learned about it many years ago training for manned, but it's not really a problem inside an airplane as the eyes move a lot, at least single pilot they do, and frankly I forgot until your video (and I've not flown unmanned at night yet--so thank you since this may come up).

@@itsmeyourluck7302 Congrats on passing! That’s awesome to hear. If you're not sure what to do next, you could consider exploring some freelance work or internships related to drones-plenty of opportunities in aerial photography, surveying, and inspections. Since you're on the NJROTC drone team, maybe see if you can take on more advanced roles or help guide newer members. Keep building your skills, and you’ll find more ways to put that Part 107 to good use!

It doesn't apply to "public" operations because "public" in this sense applies to Government entities. Official local and national government "public" operations are exempt from 107.

@bobciolino1557 7 месяцев назад

Many people cover the flag question and this should have been a easy one.

@MeridianMedia 7 месяцев назад

You're absolutely right that the flag question may seem straightforward on the surface. However, I found that the flag symbol wasn't clearly explained in the legend, which led to some uncertainty. I wanted to ensure that others who might encounter a similar situation are well-prepared, especially if they rely heavily on chart legends for guidance.

@RickyL305 6 месяцев назад

Yes agreed the flag question has been on the 107 for years however not everyone recalls it . The 2024 107 exams, many are new since February 6th And actually most of the study guides out there do not cover the new material either, frankly neither do any of the drone paid courses . I am sure new training courses will be out any time now though.

@OpenCarryUSMC 4 месяца назад

Took my test yesterday, 95%. Some of the questions were totally bogus and were nothing but a subjective opinion of someone at the FAA. Others were grammatically horrible though the answer they wanted was clear. That so many questions were totally not relevant to sub 55 pound Aircraft is rather alarming since they’re nothing more than a waste of tax dollars and pilots time. We don’t need to know isotonic lines (one of my test questions), not do we need to know how to read METARS or TAFs since we must maintain LOS and we can see the damn weather.

@MichaelMcGill_emtwo 8 месяцев назад

From Advisory Circular 00-01-1.1A, Public Aircraft Operations: In short, Public Aircraft Operations (PAO) are basically government operations within U.S. airspace (with some exceptions). PAO do not have a commercial purpose. i.e. photography and videography for profit. Civil Aircraft Operations (CAO) are any operation that does not meet the statutory criteria for a PAO.

Hello.I am from India.I have a DGCA valid RPC. I am planning to move Canada for a drone pilot job.can I continue with this licence?is this possible to get a job canada?

@MeridianMedia 4 месяца назад

Hi there! That's a great question about transitioning your drone pilot license from India to Canada. I'm not an expert on Canadian drone laws, so I'll let someone else chime in who is more knowledgeable on this topic. Best of luck with your move and job search in Canada!

@LarzBolor 6 месяцев назад

Hi sir! I'm planning to go to the US from the Philippines and get a Remote Pilot Certificate. Will it be a problem if I only have a visitor visa?

@MeridianMedia 5 месяцев назад

Yes, you can get a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC) in the US with a visitor visa. The FAA doesn't recognize foreign RPCs, but you can visit the FAA DroneZone portal to complete the process for flying under "The Exception for Recreational Flyers". Hope this helps!

That first ones bullshit- why i hate these exams and tests- tbey csnt even keep up with their own nonsense

@musicalgear1024 Месяц назад

Good job and thanks. Personally, after flying drones for the past 15 years with no "license", I find the entire "testing" idea to be obtuse. Sure, piloting a drone can create dangers, chewing gum can create dangers, riding a scooter can create dangers, etcetcetc. But the level and complexity of information required to learn for the drone test is completely ridiculous. Most anyone would have the most logical and common sense needed to operate a tiny drone. Of course there are always the dumbasses who want to show a video of flying above a commercial airliner, etc. so I get the need of some type of line drawn in the sand. But learning half of what a pilot training for license to fly a plane is overkill to the power of 10. AGL, MSL, all the codes, acronyms, etc. you have to learn is just stupid, and I never use the word "stupid." So I'd like to take a moment to thank the nitwits responsible for the videos which they posted publicly for the FAA to see which only added fuel to this completely ridiculous fire. Thanks for creating once again, trouble for the normal people in the world who simply wanted to enjoy flying a drone like a normal person.

@MeridianMedia Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally get where you're coming from. The amount of information required for the FAA Part 107 test can definitely feel excessive, especially when a lot of it doesn't seem relevant to actual flying. But, if you want to fly commercially, there's no getting around it-you need that license. I've had several jobs where I had to show my license to get a permit to fly, and having it does give you an edge over those who don't. So while the test can be frustrating, it's a worthwhile step if you're looking to make money with your drone.
