FAA Part 107 Drone Exam Prep 45, Physiology — Hypoxia, Fatigue, Stress, Dehydration
Jul 30, 2026
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why hypoxia symptoms are tested on the Part 107 exam, even though drone pilots operate from the ground.
- How to differentiate between the nearly identical symptoms of hypoxia and hyperventilation, a common exam trap.
- That the FAA equates the impact of acute fatigue on judgment and reaction time to that of alcohol impairment.
- How stress can cause attentional narrowing, or 'tunnel vision,' leading a pilot to miss critical hazards.
- That even mild dehydration, as little as 1.5% body water loss, can significantly degrade a pilot's cognitive performance.
