    Visibility Question For 107

    Thanks for the replies, but actually, I still don't get it. Personally, so far I am not all that interested in actually piloting a drone. I was more interested in all of this when I thought I might have to use a programming language like Python to program the drone to go from point A to point B...

    Basic Navigation Question

    I don't have a drone yet. I am studying for 107. As I study the sectional charts and all the restrictions, I have to think drones are programmable. I suppose the pilot has to plug in the to-from coordinates, the coordinates of obstructions, the coordinates outlining airspaces B, C, D, E, G...

    I don't see a button or link labeled "Create a new thread," or anything like that. All I see is a "Post Reply" button. What do I click on to create a new thread? Thanks.

    Introduce Yourself!

    I'm studying to pass Part 107. Much is pretty new to me - at least a lot different than what I learned back in the 1970's to get my private pilot's license. Now 50 years later, I am learning by making up my own test questions. To write a test, I need answers. I might be asking you all to get...
