    There's the Little San Domingo area about 3 miles North of Morristown, AZ on Castle Hot Springs Road. Wide open area, lots of foot hills. Great area

    Part 107 pass rates

    That is correct N017RW on the 60 question test for the non-pilots. But on the 61 test, it just has you go back and correct the ones you missed while you are in the chair. I missed two on the first round. It came back and said you must score 100%, so I went back and changed those answers, then...

    Part 107 pass rates

    Thanks Multicopter. That's what I I'm trying to get. I took that 30 something question test for existing pilots; which I assume that is what the numbers are for. I'm thinking that those numbers are for the first run through the test by existing pilots and not the retakes.

    Part 107 pass rates

    Gotcha Falcon. I just curious as to how they arrived at those numbers. since they referred to it as a "pass rate"

    Part 107 pass rates

    That is correct Falcon and I am indeed referring to the Part 61 exam. I'm just curious that if all are required to have 100% on the exam, why are there 88%, 78% and 95% displayed above and not 100%.

    Part 107 pass rates

    I don't get those numbers on pass rates; if its Part 61 pilots. You get 35 questions that you redo if you miss until one hits 100%. OR maybe I'm the one who's smoking something.

    Part 107 Costs?

    Some easy math here. 3rd Class medical - $80 (for me anyway) Check ride and flight review - $265.00 (back in the left seat again) or just take the knowledge test $150. So no real advantage doing the 61 part for current pilots it seems. Pain and suffering - Priceless

    Ultrasonic System Error - Land Immediatley

    I was talking to a friend of mine who had the same issue while in California. He wasn't sure if this caused it but when he calibrated his compass he was getting compass errors. Tried twice but had the same compass error. He flew anyway and it cleared up. He too got the Ultrasonic Error. While he...

    Phantom 3 Pro - Interchanging P3 batteries.

    I have two different P3P and plan interchange the batteries in between the two quads; five total. I haven't experienced any issues but looking for the thoughts of others on this. One can't assume anything these days. Thanks in advance. Mike

    Ultrasonic System Error - Land Immediatley

    Thanks! No camera guard. According to the folks I bought it from it is a common problem with P3P. Will go through the voodoo again and see what happens.

    Ultrasonic System Error - Land Immediatley

    Took a new P3P out for its first flight out of the box. About 9 minutes out I got that Ultrasonic System Error thing. Brought it back with no issues. I had thought it said battery was critical land immediately but check the log and that was what the error read. Have the 1.9 version as well. See...

    Check out State Trust Land. There is some off the 303 and Happy Valley I fly on all the time as well as BLM land North of Morristown on the Little San Domingo area. Wide open spaces there and plenty of mountains to practice on. Just need to get a State Trust Land permit for $15. Have to have...
