New pilot here. My first drone was the Mavic Mini, which didn't require registration. I returned it and ordered a Mavic 2, which will arrive this week. I thought I would get a head start with the FAA registration and do that before it arrives. My original understanding was that FAA registration for recreational flyers involves registering the operator, not the drone itself. But when I started the registration process this morning, the info required included the make/model/serial number of the drone.
Was I in the right place? Was I misunderstanding how registration works for recreational flyers?
I don't mind waiting until I have the serial number to give the FAA. But if I can register ahead of time, I'd like to get that done. Thanks for any advice you experienced pilots can offer.
