Newbie going for 107 Certification

Johneeo · Feb 28, 2022

I have a DJI Mini 2. My First and only drone, have had it up 3 times. Just learning the basic controls in open fields. Incredible drone.

I have done hours and hours of research, everything from what is a drone, to drone reviews, then drone Youtube videos, to how to fly the DJI Mini 2.

I am now in the process of going for the 107 Certification. Spending more hours learning everything possible from basics to reading the FAA online 107 pages, etc.

I have found what look like some very good online instruction courses, so I will probably sign up and take one.

Any guidance or suggestions appreciated.

Welcome to the forum from the outback of Australia. Online training is good but nothing beats having tuition in a face to face scenario if available. Once you start, the learning never stops.
Look forward to hearing your progress on the road to a commercial pilot.
Regards

Welcome to CDP! Not sure what is on the tests anymore. I took/passed my 107 back in 2017. Seems there was a lot of questions on weather codes at airports and longitude and latitudes on the aeronautical charts/maps. So study those for sure. Someone else might be able to help you with the newer testing they have now.

Once you get your 107 all you have to do every 2 years is got to the FAA website and take the recurrent test and pass it. It's free now. Also once you pass your 107 it is good for life. You just have to keep doing the recurrent testing.
