My definition of well clear (for me, when I fly) is 'on the ground'. 50 feet sounds like some idiot trying to see how close they can get to the helicopter. Even the small helis that have motors that sound like lawnmowers - you can here those from quite a distance. There is plenty of time to...

Sorry. It's skyward.io Here's a direct link: LAANC Resources for Drone Operators

Skyward.com released a PDF of specific airports in the LAANC rollout timetable. You may want to check it. Looks like Wilmington, NC is included in the Eastern North section as part of the Washington Air Traffic Control Center. I was getting concerned because, logically, I was looking in the...

Well I have an FCC license for broadcast from my years in the radio business. So I have that going for me. But I don't want to be the shock jock of the air band! I really just want to listen to any chatter and stay off the mic.

AH-1G - Is Pilots Ridge the name of an airfield near you? That's the name of the strip I was referring to at the top of this post. Coincidence?

I do a lot of flying here at the beach. There is a private airstrip a few miles away. A couple of the pilots flying out of there are crazy - doing a lot of low beach flybys over the ocean with some acrobatic maneuvers thrown in for good measure. It's fun to watch. I want to invest in a decent...

Good Job!

None. It's nothing but humor not translating online. There is no new section. FL600 is the ceiling of class A airspace at 60000 feet. FL60000 would be in space somewhere. In reference to astronomy.

Lol. FL60000 is in the new section. Study up!

Great suggestion. I sat through it after trying the sample test for the first time. I listened to it again on my drive to the test. I found the Northrup video through a mention on this video: It's 2 hours long and gets in depth on answering 160 questions. I found this to be the most...

Thanks. I'll check out Gold Seal and remember not to get discouraged.

'Terrestrial Object'....sounds like something out of UFO Files.

Thank you! It was on a sectional. I was paraphrasing 'highest terrestrial object' because I couldn't come up with the word 'terrain' at the moment. Highest point of terrain.

Just rolled in and fired up the laptop - it was a 4 hour drive, round trip for a 3:30 test. Got a 95! Missed 3 questions. One was really stupid of me - the way it was worded got me. It was about the 55 pound limit of UAV. Dumb. Another question vaguely asked about the height of tallest...

I've been studying for 2 months now. I was just asking for additional material to take a look at - a new perspective. I found quite a bit of good stuff to help out.
