Can someone please explain Remote ID Rules to me

This is where the much coveted "safety" comes from. Fear of them watching you so you don`t do it.

I don't have a problem with LE watching me, but all the drone haters will see you and know where you are.:eek:
But how many of those haters know of or have the wherewith-all to find that info? Doubt much of anyone out there knows it is available except fliers

I meant it as a joke, personally I am at an age where I could care less who ever is watching. The benefits of getting older. :)
 
Hi All:
Just received this in my e-mail. Lots of government gobble-di-gook. Can someone out there please translate this into a few cogent sentences for me?
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today announced final rules for Unmanned Aircraft (UA), commonly known as drones. The new rules will require Remote Identification (Remote ID) of drones and allow operators of small drones to fly over people and at night under certain conditions. These rules come at a time when drones represent the fastest-growing segment in the entire transportation sector – with currently over 1.7 million drone registrations and 203,000 FAA-certificated remote pilots.

Remote ID will help mitigate risks associated with expanded drone operations, such as flights over people and at night, and both rules support technological and operational innovation and advancements.

“These final rules carefully address safety, security and privacy concerns while advancing opportunities for innovation and utilization of drone technology,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao.

Remote ID (PDF) is a major step toward the full integration of drones into the national airspace system. Remote ID provides identification of drones in flight as well as the location of their control stations, providing crucial information to our national security agencies and law enforcement partners, and other officials charged with ensuring public safety. Airspace awareness reduces the risk of drone interference with other aircraft and people and property on the ground.

Equipping drones with Remote ID technology builds on previous steps taken by the FAA and the drone industry to integrate operations safely into the national airspace system. Part 107 of the federal aviation regulations currently prohibits covered drone operations over people and at night unless the operator obtains a waiver from the FAA. The new FAA regulations jointly provide increased flexibility to conduct certain small UAS without obtaining waiver.

“The new rules make way for the further integration of drones into our airspace by addressing safety and security concerns,” said FAA Administrator Steve Dickson. “They get us closer to the day when we will more routinely see drone operations such as the delivery of packages.”

The Remote ID rule (PDF) applies to all operators of drones that require FAA registration. There are three ways to comply with the operational requirements:

1. Operate a standard Remote ID drone that broadcasts identification and location information of the drone and control station;

2. Operate a drone with a Remote ID broadcast module (may be a separate device attached to the drone), which broadcasts identification, location, and take-off information; or

3. Operate a drone without Remote ID but at specific FAA-recognized identification areas.

The Operations Over People and at Night rule (PDF) applies to Part 107 operators. The ability to fly over people and moving vehicles varies depending on the level of risk a small drone operation presents to people on the ground. Operations are permitted based on four categories, which can be found in the executive summary (PDF) accompanying the rule. Additionally, this rule allows for operations at night under certain conditions.

The final rule requires that small drone operators have their remote pilot certificate and identification in their physical possession when operating, ready to present to authorities if needed. This rule also expands the class of authorities who may request these forms from a remote pilot. The final rule replaces the requirement to complete a recurrent test every 24 calendar months with the requirement to complete updated recurrent training that includes operating at night in identified subject areas.

Both rules will become effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. The Remote ID rule includes two compliance dates. Drone manufacturers will have 18 months to begin producing drones with Remote ID, with operators having an additional year to start using drones with Remote ID.Hi all"
here is a simplified article I wrote on remote ID SkyPathDrones - FAA INTRODUCES 2021 REMOTE ID FOR UAS OPERATIONS
 
sorry for the typo- It should have said "This is like forcing a CAR driver to install a speedometer that transmits to the police, or other incriminating evidence.
Or you can alternatively think of it as potentially signing your own arrest warrant. What if you’re having a bad day and unintentionally exceed 400’AGL, and maybe go slightly beyond LOS? That data is stored and can be used-against you. For those that say “Naw that aints true”. I invite you to examine ADS-B out now required in all aircraft that travel in Mode C veils. ADS-B tracks the aircraft registration (N-number), altitude, speed, and the direction of travel. Coupled with the radar ping, VERY accurately locates your exact position. Thus when flying a general aviation if you bust your assigned altitude, you may get a chance to talk with the man. And they are not there to serve you cookies and milk.

Positively not an attorney or legal guy but in a nutshell it sounds like we will need ID broadcasters on our drones but they still have not set an effective date to implement the ruling.

All you have to do is figure out where the Federal Register is....

Mini Bomber- Thankyou for that!
