I have started to look into FAA licensing and taking the part 107 exam.  
I have been flying and learning about my Mini 2 drone since December 2020.  I have watched dozens (perhaps hundreds) of drone tutorials and have been flying at least a couple of times a week. Although I am really only doing this for recreation, I notice that the FAA appears to also consider providing drone service for volunteer organizations as an activity that requires a commercial license.  Also, as a way to share videos, I have a YouTube channel where I post videos and that, too, seems to be an activity that the FAA might consider requires a commercial license (at least if YouTube adds ever kicked in and paid).  Plus,  drone flight and photography has become a very consuming hobby for me.  When I am not flying, I am very likely reading or watching video tutorials to learn more.  So I am thinking that learning about the part 107 exam is one next step I want to consider.


Here's the problem I am having.  There is a ton of information pollution about the exam out there on the internet.  There are many, many courses being offered by many, many different drone pilot schools.  There are a ton of books - many outdated, many with terrible reviews.  And the FAA information I have been able to find is really sad and pathetic.  I swear, there must be a requirement for FAA documents that at least 2 or more obscure acronyms are used in every sentence.  Also, all discussions must be as cryptic as possible.  I am wondering if there is a better way to navigate through this sea of misinformation and actually learn some of the material the FAA thinks I need to understand.

Any reccomendations, suggestions or advice from those who have been through the exam process would be appreciated.

Hi! You might be better off posting your question in the 'products' section of this forum.  That is way more active.    -   https://forum.dji.com/forum-129-1.html

Have you passed yet?!

I finished studying a Study and Prep book for remote pilot test preparation and was ready to take the test when another surge of COVID came.  I live in a house with someone with a compromised immune system and have been reluctant to go sit in a testing room for 2 hours.  I couldn't find out who else might be in that room or what COVID protocols they followed.  Since I don't really need the part 107 license for any specific reason, I decided to wait.   It seemed silly to risk bringing COVID home and possibly killing my spouse just to gain the satisfaction of passing a test to get a license I don't really need.  I still have the study and preparation book on my desk and have the Pilot Institute part 107 license course bookmarked.  If I get to a point that I actually need the part 107 license or  whenever we get to a lull in COVID danger, I will probably go take the test.  Until then, I fly a couple of times per week and wait.

Thank you Raw_B for replying to jmgolio that was the information I’ve been looking for. I’m new to flying but I was looking for a change in profession and to see Pilot Institute offers the training for for so many things my allow me to get started in a new future. Thank you!

Thanks for the interesting information

Thanks for sharing the information. From personal experience, I realized that in order to get a high mark on the exam, it is important to attend all classes and not have academic debts. Thanks to paper writers from https://www.bestessay.com/ I don't have academic debts, but I have problems with attendance, which is why I'm worried about future exams.
