Remote Drone Pilot Certification Study Guide: Your Key to Earning Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification Paperback – October 19, 2016

I did alot of digging to figure out where to start studying for the FAA Part 107 exam. I bought TC's guide and started reading it. Now I'm so engulfed in this world, I'm actually pursuing going back to school (at 41) for Unmanned Aerial Systems. TC makes this world fun, interesting and engaging. I've been scouring the internet for Part 107 resources and specifially, how to read VFR Sectional charts (flight charts) which is a major part of the exam. Of all the resources and YouTube videos I've found, they don't match this book. TC makes it easy for anybody to understand things. There is quite a bit of learning involved and it does require some dedication, but this guide is definitely the best out there, in my opinion. He posts alot of helpful website and app links as well, which help tremendously. He's also a great person.I definitely recommend this to anybody who's looking to study for this exam. You won't be dissappointed!

I bought this book about a year ago, but just got around to taking my part 107 test last week. I scored a 97%, but not really due to this book.What I had hoped for was a logically organized study guide that explained things in laymen's terms a bit better than the FAA. What I found was that this book is a direct regurgitation of a lot of the FAA provided study guide and the Aeronautical Handbook, and in many cases stated things incorrectly, or did not fully elaborate on the concepts (particularly in the weather section) enough to understand why an answer is correct or incorrect. It also has many of the materials from the FAA (practice sectional charts, legends,etc) printed so blurry it is impossible to read on the page.This book has about 400+ practice questions in the back, but after studying with other materials, I found quite a few with the wrong answer listed in the test provided in this book. Additionally, the reasoning provided for the answers was wrong in some cases as well, so I know that it wasn't just an issue of a misprint.What this book does well is provide a couple of printed out images and materials so that I didn't have to waste money on printing those materials myself, but ultimately many were so blurry it just isn't worth it. I honestly believe the 4/5 star reviews on here are from friends and family providing ratings because there is honestly no way this material is detailed enough to allow you to pass.I ultimately spent most of my study time watching Tony Northrup's video on YouTube, then diving into specific areas with additional YouTube videos on topics that he didn't spend much time on (weather and center of gravity most specifically). I then took a multitude of online practice tests, and at the end used the practice test questions in this book to verify my knowledge.

Used this along with an audible class. Some of the practice test questions are not right but still good study material. I passed test the first time.

At first this book was hard to follow and the test was a bit misleading it didn’t refer to the text on the answers I had to look them up online.I did pass the test but only after my employer payed for an online course. The I realized how really bad this book was. Especially with the main topic of mapping and weather.The FAA drone study had better information than this book.So know I have this book and don’t want to return it I’ve already spent enough on it.If your really serious about getting your Part 107. Look for an online course that guarantees you’ll pass and do it. They are expensive but well worth and some will give you up to 3 years to study and that’s how I will renew mine just go back and study the same online cours. So your getting 2 for the price of one.Dartdrones.com and I did not get paid to do this.

I passed which means the book worked

Has over 400 hundred practice problems, however I found some incorrect answers. Be cautious if you buy this. I found their website to be hard to use and navigate.

This is an intensive study guide for anyone wanting to get their FAA certificate to use their drone for commercial operations. The guide does not assume you know anything about aviation, which is important if obtaining this certificate is your first venture into becoming a licensed remote pilot.T.C. Freeman's background as a pilot, flight instructor and aviation safety expert makes him uniquely qualified to become your instructor in helping you pass the FAA's Pilot Knowledge Quiz to obtain the rating you need as a commercial drone operator.

There are more than a few mistakes in this book. I found 1 that gives an incorrect answer then explained (contrary to the answer) gives the correct answer.
