FAA Part 107 Chart-Reading Question Walkthrough

This was a great video. 🔥🔥

Loved these!

These are some key understandings to know.

Thank you for this

Very clear with the drawings

So the further you go to the west the higher the number gets??? Doesn’t make any sense to me..

How do you know each of those is 30 min???

I'm sitting here laughing at how easy this is... I am studying for my part 107 but I have more challenges then most people. I often work 12 hour days and many are 14 hr days so study time comes at a premium. But everything I've seen so far seems so cut and dry organized that it's just not difficult at all. I plan to watch more of your videos as I build my knowledge base. As it stands right now, my ultimate goal is to pass the 107 then the Night Flight testing that I understand is a separate animal. Ultimately I want to do all the Commercial work that I choose, real estate, S&R, Surveillance, etc. I'll be 65 in a few months and when I retire, I want something fun and meaningful to do and earn money in the process.

How does the 47 degrees 40 minutes N work? At the 47 degree mark you would only be going North 10 minutes to reach that airport? Do you subtract 30 minutes? I thought the 47 degree mark and 48 degree mark were just 30 minutes apart.

This was super helpful! Those map questions kept stumping me

I watched this along with the online quiz and passed today 🎉

Why would you ever need a map like this for flying drones? Isn’t this more for actual pilots? When am i ever going to need to communicate with flight controllers? Why would I need to know about landing at an airport? It seems like this test is designed around future regulations which haven’t been implemented yet, such as mandating that drone pilots use radios like a real airplane every time they fly.

I disagree with the last question/answer. Those towers are in Class D airspace. You need clearance. In Class B, C, D, or E2 airspace you CANNOT fly over structures as you are in CONTROLLED Airspace.

🙌🏽💪🏽🤙🏽

Your explanations and working through the question are the best I have found so far. Thanks for taking the time.

You did an EXCELLENT JOB on this !!!!!

WOW. Great. I watched a few videos prior the test, but most of them (if not all) are too complicated and none of them explained why the wrong answers are wrong. I'll check for more videos and hopefully I will pass the next time. Good advice for when you go to the test the first time - bring good reading or magnifying glasses.
I had exactly those questions and I answered them wrong and now I know why. I learned a lot in those 18 minutes.

For the last question this seems like a trick question. As the regulation is the answer. The wording of the question is " ...what altitude over the towers..." is 400' ..... not " when operating over the towers, what is the max altitude you are authorized to operate at?" Which would be 802'

Im authorized to operate at 400' above the standing structure. Would be the answer.

I am not knocking the answer, more asking that if this kind of wording is present are they looking for the total altitude as opposed to the feet-above-object?

This is very good commentary, clear and concise. Thank you!

I dont fly drones but this helped me learn maps better

Thank you!

Thank you!!

I understand that 802 ft AGL is best answer to last question but, in reality, wouldn't I need ATC authorization to operate inside the Class D shown?

This was verh helpful, thanks! Charts portions have been a pain for me

test booklet? is this to study? or do they actually provide you the sectional chart booklet during the exam?

Thank you for that very clear and concise breakdown.

I finally get more clearer in understanding this topic-Sectional chart reading. Thank you so much.

Thank you so very much. I was having such a rough time with sectional charts questions during the practice test. Clean and simple! Thank you again!

Just took my test this morning, Passed with a 90%. Thanks for the helpful info

Thank you!

Thank you much! Best explanation I have seen so far!

With respect, 46.9 is exactly equal to 46-54-00 (no seconds), so why is one more precise? The precision is not increased when you convert from one unit (decimal) to another (min-deg-sec). Is 1.0 feet more precise than 12 inches? No.

Great video. My brother is taking his test soon this will for sure help him. Your explaination and explaining is so much better then other channels trying to get you to remem,ber the question. Understading how to read the charts is your vidoes benifits for your followers. Great Job

Super helpful tutorial! Thank you!

Cleared a ton up thank you

You know you could have at least added some annotation or markers to the chart to see exactly what you were talking about. I'm having trouble locating the numbers

definitely familiarizing with chart reading helps!

Dude! You’re the best! Seriously helped me understand better than you know!! 🎉❤

Great Video!!

Man, where was this video all this time. the breakdown and illustrations where just what I needed. This made reading the charts a breeze! looking for weather on your channel next.

Thank You

Just exactly what I needed to learn, chart reading. This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

This was so helpful. I have just started studying and have seen many video’s already and those that have gone over the exact same question, but the fact that you draw it out so we can visualize it makes it so much more helpful as this is how I learn best. Thank you for this video!

This was by far the best instructional video regarding reading sectional maps. I loved your explanations. Thank you.

This was great. Thanks for sharing.

I finally got it! What a great lesson! Thanks tons!!!
