I'm here to support you through the various phases of your drone pilot journey: [1. Part 107 Written Exam Prep] It’s not uncommon for a few subjects to 'not click' while preparing for the Part 107 Written Exam. Airspace​/​Sectional Charts and Weather Products are two common areas where students often struggle, but any topic can be challenging. Let’s identify the subjects that are giving you a hard time and tackle them together! [2. Real-World Guidance After Passing the Exam] Once you've passed the Part 107, you'll likely encounter new questions, such as: - What is "IACRA," and how do I use it to obtain my FAA Remote Pilot Certificate? - I now understand the difference between Controlled and Uncontrolled Airspace, but how do I get approval to operate in Controlled Airspace, and what is "LAANC"? - What if the Controlled Airspace is not LAANC-enabled, or I need to fly higher than the maximum altitudes? How do I apply for approval through "The Drone Zone"? - I understand what a TFR is, but what is the most reliable source for identifying them? - The "Sport NOTAM"—a sneaky "gotcha" that has caught countless pilots. - Drone settings best practices: determining a safe Return-to-Home altitude, reacting to a GPS fly-away, setting minimum and critical battery levels, among other considerations. - And a very common issue: I obtained approval to fly in Controlled Airspace, but my drone won’t take off due to airspace limitations built into its internal database. How do I get my drone to take off in Controlled Airspace? Whether you’re struggling with specific exam topics or seeking clarity on real-world applications, I will provide a comprehensive approach to becoming a confident and competent drone pilot. - **Important Note from Skyfarer Academy** We recommend giving our instructors at least 24 hours to prepare for your session.
