- The maximum legal groundspeed for a drone under FAA Part 107 is 100 mph, which is equivalent to 87 knots.

- Why the FAA exam focuses on groundspeed instead of airspeed, with wind being the key variable.

- How to perform the essential exam calculation: Airspeed + Tailwind or Airspeed - Headwind to determine your true groundspeed.

- To identify a common exam trap where a legal airspeed becomes an illegal groundspeed due to a strong tailwind.

- A simple mnemonic for the test: "Tailwind adds, headwind subtracts, for the groundspeed facts."
