I’ve heard that the recent dji hardware will already be capable of remote id, anyone have any idea when that will be available ? I’ve heard it will just be a firmware update
The reason I ask is because my team and I are trying to figure out a category 1 flight over a crowd in September , and to fly over an assembly we have to be compliant with remote ID tooI’ve heard that the recent dji hardware will already be capable of remote id, anyone have any idea when that will be available ? I’ve heard it will just be a firmware update
That would work. The Japanese battery isn't approved for import into the US yet. I do know someone who had a friend in Japan buy it and send it. With the costs of shipping (it's a lipo), and the import tax, he said it was one very expensive Mini battery.Thanks for the response Vic , we were thinking about using a mini 2 with prop guards and a Japanese battery to get to the correct weight(they are 50g less than the American battery). Do you think there would still need to be a motor kill system if we had prop guards?
I've been trying to get Drone U to take that article down. Paul is still pissed at me for leaving Drone U, so he won't take my advice.Most DJI are RID compatible?
Which drones are already Remote ID compatible?
The list of drones already compatible with Remote ID is long, and yet it won't matter in 2023 years. Most DJI drones and even some FPV drones complywww.thedroneu.com
Looking in faa drone zone it lists my drone as not RID. But I don't remember if the RID equipped option (yes/no) was there last year. I still had to put in serial number to operate in P107.
Yes, the current date for RID mandate for all UAS in the NAS is 9/16/23.RID comes (at least planned to come) into ops in the US in sept 2023 doesn't it ?
RID is tied to registration. So any <250g drone used exclusively for recreation does not have to comply with RID. If it's used under 107, RID will be required.Big drone companies, including DJI, weigh in on FAA Remote ID rule
The new FAA Remote ID rule was released in December 2020, and big drone industry players like DJI and the AMA seem to like it (mostly).www.thedronegirl.com
The mini or any other drone less than 250g which also doesn't require registration, is exempt from RID?
I've got one spotted. So the mini may come in handy. I still think the MP1 is the cat's meow, but flying around in bureaucracy air space is challenging. Bureaucracies can't make up their mind on anything.RID is tied to registration. So any <250g drone used exclusively for recreation does not have to comply with RID.

Wow, that is 100% incorrect. I need to reach out to that author.Schrader says the RID is like a license plate for a drone, allowing the FAA, law enforcement and other agencies to identify the drone and its owner when the aircraft is flying unsafely. Most drones will be outfitted with a standard RID, where the identification capability is built into the drone body. The standard RID will broadcast the drone identification, location and altitude, velocity and more. Older drones can be equipped with an external RID and drones operating within line of sight will be exempt from the RID requirement.
I've emailed Ms. Wood and suggested she correct her article.Schrader says the RID is like a license plate for a drone, allowing the FAA, law enforcement and other agencies to identify the drone and its owner when the aircraft is flying unsafely.

Are you saying that as a 44809 Recreational Flyer, you can't define G Airspace? If so, that's not right. Class of airspace isn't defined by who you are, it's defined by where you are. No matter what you're flying, you need to know where you are.Even though you're good to go under uncontrolled Class G, you still have to have the part 91 or part 107 to define class G and to find out where it is, so technically you'd always be flying under part 91 or part 107 even in a recreational fliers field. But class G is an airspace less concerned with issues. But a carve out for the rec group since they typically don't get much into the airspace, which is the problem with the drones (which are the big toys), and quads (which are the little toys).
Part 91 defines all the airspace. Something has to define it. So then you just have to know where the uncontrolled airspace is. But as a rec flyer you'd be part of whatever the airspace is, and typically they were smart enough to pick a place that wasn't going to cause problems. For a drone/quad the wind would most likely get you before the airspace would unless you were right under the airport.Are you saying that as a 44809 Recreational Flyer, you can't define G Airspace?

You can fly just about anywhere as a hobbyist. The only place you can't currently fly that non-recreational is outside UASFM grid limits.
No, recreational or non-recreational UAS flights aren't determined by what airspace you're in, they're determined by intent of the flight. Part 91 would only define the airspace, not the intent of the flight.Part 91 defines all the airspace. Something has to define it. So then you just have to know where the uncontrolled airspace is.
