Just want to express my relief in passing the part 107 on Monday with a 92%. I was initially scheduled for last Thursday but my careless self got my dates mixed up and ended up being charged for a no show. Anyway...here are my observations on the test material. I basically self studied using the FAA guides, YT videos and practice tests.
1) Sectional Charts - This was around 80% of my test. The last half of it I spent going back and forth through the figures in the test supplement. If you know the airspace rules inside and out you shouldn't have a problem with these.
2) Weather - This was my most difficult topic while taking practice exams so I focused on it the most before the test. Surprisingly there weren't many on my test. Results may vary.
3) Landing patterns - not a difficult topic but its important to know these in relation to how they affect sUAS operations.
4) General Guidelines - things like liability, decision making and the effects of drugs/alcohol are what I call filler questions. If you have some common sense and study these briefly you will most likely get these right.
Not sure how much commercial work I actually plan on doing but I had some spare time between college classes and wanted to get it done before regs for drones in general start cracking down. I'm confident in knowing that I can intelligently discuss rules and regulations with any "authority" figure that challenges my flights.
