    RID Compliance

    Correct, but if he's flying the Plus batteries on the Mini 4 Pro it will automatically broadcast RID. If he has the 249g batteries in, it will not, back to my original quote of, if your flying "Recreationally" it doesn't matter if your Part 107 or if you're flying under 44809. Just because it's...

    RID Compliance

    My understanding of the FAA rule on Remote ID is: If it's under 250g registered or not, it doesn't have to broadcast RID. I have a Mini 3 Pro that is registered with the FAA, I use it when I fly Real Estate jobs. (Furtherance of a Business), therefore has to be registered, If I'm just...

    Different Air 2S Remote ID question

    I think you could just enter your operator ID instead of the Drone Name. Here in the US when we register the drones with the FAA they ask if it is RID Compliant and we put in the RID number.

    Am I the only one who does this?

    Hey All, Am I the only one who calibrates everything after a firmware upgrade, or is this really necessary? Art

    An Air 3 clone, rebrand, or a DJI manufacturer "pirated" it? The mysterious new Specta Air Drone!

    They keep mentioning Military usage, what about the recreational pilot?

    Remote ID and the Mini 3 Pro

    Not according to the "Karen App". Drone Scanner. I just flew my M3P and it didn't show up. My Air 2S did, but the Mini 3 Pro did not. Also my Phantom 4 Advanced with the Holy Stone RID module showed up. So I don't think the Mini 3 Pro RID works,

    DJI Ban Questions

    My first QuadCopter was a DYI. I used a DJI Naza-M V2 Flight Controller Version 2.0 with GPS on a DJI F450 frame.

    Remote ID and the Mini 3 Pro

    Well, at first there wasn't going to be Registration for under 0.55 drones. Now there is. It's typical, "We're from the Government, and here to help" :)

    Remote ID and the Mini 3 Pro

    I register all my drones as a CYA (Cover Your A$$) thing. And your right, the FAA changes the rules daily, I think we're at "All UAV's must be Registered" Stage. Of course this can change tomorrow.

    Remote ID and the Mini 3 Pro

    You have to register all drones. If you're a recreational flyer, you can use the same number on all your recreational drones. Look at the FAA's Drone Zone page.

    Remote ID and the Mini 3 Pro

    My understanding is YES, the Mini 3 Pro has RID and it is active. Now if you need it or not is another question. Since I am a 107 pilot and use my Mini 3 Pro to make money, it's registered with the FAA and has its own Reg. Number and has to broadcast RID. After Sept 16th 2023 "ALL" UAV's will...

    Drone Laws in Wilmette

    If I'm reading this correctly, You cannot take off or land on "District Property" that they can do, but I would question as to why. However they can't stop you from TO/Landing on "Public or Private Property" unless it's in FAA Controlled Airspace. The wording is very vague and could be...

    Bill HR-2864

    Not at all, I shared my concern in regard this Bill to ban DJI UAV/Drones. Like others have said, this was just a form letter that his office sends out "only the name was changed at the top" My letter to him was not read. Just a canned response.
