Are most people registering their Magic Pros with the FAA and getting a N number assigned? If so, where are people displaying their N tail number? Just looking for ideas of where to display my new number
I placed my FAA registration number prominently on the arm of my Mavic and on the feet of the landing gear on my Typhoon H using 1/4" labelmaker tape. It's neat looking, stays well in place, and lends a professional air of authenticity to my aircraft. And it doesn't take away from the aircraft's appearances, either.
SEEING those numbers has prompted some questions from onlookers around me in which I I get the chance to tell the public that we and our aircraft
ARE registered with the FAA, something none of them know about or realize, and which seems to make a noticeable difference to them as to how they regard the drone I am flying. Having a prominent registration numbers makes the operation appear more official to them, which it actually is via the FAA registration. In my experience, people react positively to that.
As an aside, I also have another tape similarly displayed on each of my drones saying "If Found, Call (123) 546-7890." Who knows? If my drone goes down somewhere and I'm unable to retrieve it, it only makes sense to me to give myself an opportunity to have it returned to me, so I give them my number but not my name. Not everyone is a butthead. There are some good folks out there who would bother to take the time to call. Without providing a phone number, who's going to try to track you down via your FAA registration number if they find your downed drone?
