Not at all, its encouraged by the government to look stuff up as they give you 90 minutes for a multiply choice. The way they figure it at least you took the time to look it up and now know the answer. Nothing wrong with being more informed.

Could I ask again if this charger would do the job ?
RCGEEK DJI Mavic Pro Platinum Battery Charger 6 in 1 Multi Charger Built in Cooling Fans: Amazon.ca: Cell Phones & Accessories

If this is the one, are there any lights showing the charge level ?

Again Thanks
Norm (can't wait for more clement weather here in Canada

That's the one I got. No lights on the unit itself, but it doesn't matter because you have the charging lights on your batteries. The batteries themselves have the smart technology that regulates charging, discharging, over charge protection, etc. The charger is simply supplying the power that the batteries require. The batteries do all the rest of the work.

Hi, I just want to make sure that this Amazon one would be ok but the pics shows only 8 pins, the description says for Mavic Pro. Here's the one I wonder about :
Parallel Multi Battery Charger with Two USB Ports for DJI Mavic Pro: Amazon.ca: Sports & Outdoors

Thanks

8 pins, 10 pins, makes no dif. Been using the 8 pin version for 8 months, MANY charge cycles, batts still working well within parameters.

YES !!!

Only on the batteries under charge.

From what I heard from other members the 2 extra pins are just dead pins and do nothing for charging. So go for the best price on the charger.

Not sure why you had no percentage. I have seen others say the same thing. Mine came up and show me what answers I had wrong and what I should brush up on and the percentage was on that page.

Look up Post 19 by Agustine and Don Joyce on this matter

@Normex If you log back in to the government site for the exam it should show you a option to view your results. It will look like this.

@Ansia the advance is kind of like the Part 107 for you guys except there are add ons that you will still need a SFOC for some operations. Big pain in the butt is what it is. Canadian government at its best.

Ok got it and a 74% mark oh well the sixties are showing more than I thought.

I do not see why? I was talking to someone else about this and he was having the same problems as you seeing his results but I never got back to him if he solved the problem. I know when I did mine when the test was over the results came up at the end but that was back in Jan.
I have a hard time remembering stuff from yesterday LOL
