Do You Want to Get Your FAA Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot License?
This is the best step-by-step guide for everything you need to do.
This easy to follow guide also includes my test study notes and direct clickable links to everything you will need. Save yourself hours of searching. It’s all here.
I call this step-by-step guide, “The Path.” It’s the ultimate guide to navigating your way through the massive labyrinth of websites and jargon. I have links to FREE training, all the FAA websites, registration forms, the testing site and more. Why waste time finding all that stuff yourself? I wrote it all down for you.
What is the hardest part?
You have a good bit of reading to do but nothing worth something is not without a little work, right?
Getting your Part 107 UAS Drone License is actually pretty easy. (Except for all the reading) The even HARDER PART is navigating the confusing labyrinth of websites and lingo. It’s a royal pain! It’s this crazy patchwork of acronyms, terms and websites which will make you want to give up before you even start!
Where do I start? Do I go to the FAA website? Ok, which FAA Website? Do I pay for training? Is there free training? What are all these terms? How to I register at all these places? I see a test online… is that the one I need to take?
Don’t drive yourself nuts. Don’t waste time trying to figure it all out by yourself.
“The Path” shows you everything you need to do and gives you clickable links to do it. Get that Part 107 Drone License in the next two weeks!
I just went through all of this and it’s a confusing mess (and I’m already a Private Pilot!) For a newcomer I can’t image trying to figure all this stuff out flying solo!
The good news is… there is absolutely no need for you to re-invent the wheel and go through the pain I had to go through. You don’t need to find all the links, websites, tutorials, test preps and more, while sorting through a bunch of unfamiliar jargon. It’s all right here, step-by-step.
I blazed the trail. Follow my lead.
Reduce the time it takes to get up and running. I’ve done the leg work, you just need to follow “The Path.” I don’t just tell you where to find practice tests; I reduce everything to a mouse click!
How and where do you schedule your test? Click! Where can you get an official authorized FAA study guide? Click! Is there anything new, not covered in the current study guide? Yep… click!
Basically, I have set this up so you don’t need to figure out all the details and visit every corner of the internet just to find one important document from some obscure website. Everything is just a click away.
The Part 107 Drone License Test is not a difficult test.
The FAA Part 107 Exam is not a hard exam to pass…. IF YOU STUDY!
But, even before studying for the exam, there is an entire universe of new grammar to learn. Holy cow! Part 107, ATC, FAR, UAS, sUAS… what does all that mean? No worries… the first thing I give you is a grammar cheat sheet.
Anytime we want to learn a new subject, we always begin with the grammar. As with any new and complex subject, we will have absolutely no idea what most of the jargon means at first, and this is where people typically begin to choke. We are inundated with jargon and get depressed. It’s too much! Here’s the secret. Don’t worry about it. You will not understand this crazy grammar at first but it will come slowly, then faster, then begin to make real sense.
So, the very first thing we do — become familiar with the jargon… the grammar… the words used in the subject. Just get familiar with the words themselves. Some of them you might already know and understand, others will be vague and still others you may have heard before but hold a misunderstanding in the context of the subject.
When we study the words… the grammar… we do not necessarily attach meanings or definitions to the words right away… we just become familiar with the fact that the term exists. We read the words. We say them aloud. It’s that simple. When the term comes up in our studies, that’s when magic begins.
When the time comes to understand a word’s meaning, it will be within a context which makes that word make sense… if that makes sense! Sure we’ll see definitions for some of our grammar but we do not need to remember these at first. This takes a huge pressure off of trying to remember confounding jargon without a context. Understanding comes with context and with surprising ease. Trust me. It all comes together pretty quickly. As we see the terms used in context we gain greater understanding.
How long will this take?
How long will this take? My first student blew through steps 1 through 6 and got his FAA TRUST Certificate in about an hour! Since my method is a self-study method, it depends largely on your motivation. If you are serious, I think you will need about two weeks during the evenings to get through the materials and register at all the websites. If you are on a tight schedule and have the time to dedicate to this investment, I suspect it might take a three or four good solid study days.
