Coordinates Decoded: Latitude and Longitude for Part 107

You’ve got a drone, a sectional chart, and absolutely no idea what those numbers around the edges mean. Don’t worry — you’re not alone. In this episode we tackle one of the most overlooked skills on the Part 107 exam — reading latitude and longitude coordinates on a sectional chart. We start from absolute zero, covering what latitude and longitude actually are, how degrees minutes and seconds work, which lines run which direction and why students mix them up every single time, and how to pinpoint an exact location on the sectional chart figures you’ll see on your actual exam. We walk through the real chart figures from the FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement — the exact same ones handed to you at the testing center — so nothing on test day catches you off guard. Latitude runs horizontal, longitude runs vertical, and by the end of this episode you’ll never mix them up again. Probably. Grab the sticks. Class is in session
