  • Getting a commercial drone pilot's license is hard. Don't attempt it without studying! I prepped for my sUAS exam using an online course offered by Drone Pilot Ground School (DPGS). I studied for a total of 14 hours via DPGS. Then, I passed the FAA examination on my first attempt with a 93% score. Here's quick summary of how I prepped + info about what to expect on test day.

    the study guide the morning of and got a 90%. All Free and in total a day. Only thing that matters is above a 70%.

      @@aerialphotos5855 Test isn't that bad. It focused a lot more of reading charts then I expected and that was my weakest point but won't be that bad. You can mark questions and come back to them. You can get 18 wrong out of 60. Good luck!

    My 17 year old daughter and I used Pilotinstitute. Got a screaming deal on Black Friday. The course is good for life. Greg, the instructor is a seasoned manned aircraft and drone pilot and is a professor at one of the top aeronautical universities in the US. We took the course, completed it a week and scored 95% and 98%. He also will pay you $150 if you fail the exam after taking his course. I’m not being paid to say this...just wanted to tell you what worked fo me and my daughter.

I hear everyone see that the test was easy and it took them a few hours to study and I said to myself how on earth? Am I just stupid? Or are these people online? After watching your video my faith has been renewed real talk. Thank you again you have a new subscriber.

      I am also thinking about taking this course, and then the test to follow, my union training school gives the course for free to all members but it's on there schedule and at our training facility which is roughly 80 miles from my home, and they are after work hours usually 5 days Mon-Fri from 4:30pm to 10:00pm. This schedule is incredibly inconveniant for me personally. It seems that the $249.00 is much worth it for me considering the time and travel spent to go to my training facility.

    I agree, the test is a fairly difficult test, but you don't have to take an expensive course. I did exactly what DJI Senord did and past on my first try with 90%. The UAS107 app and FREE CZcams videos on aviation weather and sections was enough for me. Just give yourself at least two weeks of dedicated study.

I have a project coming up and plan on taking my test within the next couple weeks and need this number to plug into some software to get a flying exemption through LAANC. Just didn't know when they issue a number, even if temporary until the official card arrives. Thanks for any info on this.

  • @cameraz99
    @cameraz99 Před 4 lety +7

    So you paid $300 to take a paid online course, and then paid $150 to take the test -- a total of $450. If you had skipped the course, and just took the $150 test and failed, you would've seen which questions you answered incorrectly, studied those sections, and taken the test again for another $150 -- a total of $300 spent, for a savings of $150.

    I took all 3 amateur radio exams in August of 2018, scoring 98% on the amateur extra class test. This test was 50 questions out of a pool of 720. The test had 4 multiple choice, many questions with circuit and other diagrams. I'm studying for Part 107 certification the same way. Lots of practice tests supplemented by the FAA Study guide and CZcams videos. That being said, not everyone grasps technical information readily, and there are programs out there that can be of help. Just be sure they are reputable and you are getting a corresponding value for your money.

    At 3:42 it shows the areas where you failed the most questions (interpreting sectional charts, airspace regulations, small UAS operations & calculating aircraft performance). These are perhaps the easiest yet most important sections to know. TheDroneCoach.com thoroughly reviews these sections in our online study course for just $107, and we recommend other resources as well such as 3DR's 120 question quiz and the Northrup's video too, although he does state a few things incorrectly in his video (latitudes run lateral, not from north to south).

      That drone is light enough to fly without a license, if you are flying it as a hobby, not making $$ from it. If you are going to get paid using your drone, the FAA wants to get paid by YOU and makes you pay them $150.00 a year to to take and maintain your license. It's all about $$. I will say it IS good to know a lot of the stuff for safety reasons, though. Safety for others, mainly.
