I’m a very new Part 107 pilot trying to understand this rule. What does CBO stand for?
Community-based organization. Such as the AMA.
I’m a very new Part 107 pilot trying to understand this rule. What does CBO stand for?
I’m trying to figure this out like most of us.
I’ve heard some people says it’s because of Amazon and UPS that we are getting these rules. I get the idea of tracking drones owned by Amazon and UPS, but why would the FAA need personal drone info?
Is Amazon pushing for Remote ID? If so why?
Thanks for the help,
I’ve only been a Part 107 pilot for a month and there’s a ton of info I’m trying to take in.
The way I understand it is that you have to have an internet connection that broadcast your drones location to someone. Or you have to Fly in a CBO area only.
I have no data plan on my Ipad so does this mean I can't fly anywere but a CBO no?
Does this apply to old drones or just new one being mfg?
Also what if theres no Internet service were you are.
This whole idea sucks. If transponders are required in drones you can expect the cost of them to triple. Furthermore, whether or not you are breaking any rules, the Barney Fife types of LEOS will be flexing their muscles left and right, since they will know every time your bird is in the air.
Transponders are not required, and in fact will be forbidden in our drones.
Exactly the reason all of us need to make comment to DOT and FAA.They do not want transponders, but rather that the drone “broadcast” the data elements. They have not yet determined the structure of how the broadcast messages will be received or by whom, except it will be FAA contractors. A whole national system will have to be planned and set up for receipt of those messages in real time and passed on to FAA.
I just wrote an article on the proposed rule for dronephotographybible.com. I make some suggestions but primarily we have to send in comments to the FAA asking them to change the rule. They are not going to completely abandon the idea but might change it a bit so we can all live with it. The FAA’s Proposed Rule On Remote Identification Will Kill Drone Flying
Close.The only drones sold in us that can fly outside of approved community organization areas will either have direct “broadcasting” of required data and an internet connection, or just internet connection. These must be active from takeoff to landing and a mechanism in place to assure compliance in the field. If, during a flight, there is loss of ability to transmit via broadcast and internet, the pilot must land as soon as possible.
finally found a thread on this subject where the thread was not shut down, good grief.
This is a forum, there is supposed to be discussions aren't there? If people get mouthy, give them a time-out, not shut the whole discussion down. Especially an important one like this. So much bullying and power trips on this forum; like most.
Anyway, on this Remote ID subject:
Isn't it convenient that there are these "mystery drones" flying over rural Colorado from 7pm to 10 pm lately and FAA and law enforcement say they don't know who it is or what company?
4 to 6 foot drones, flying grid patterns, maybe 200 feet above the ground, 30 mph, one hoovered over a little town the ENTIRE night, bla, bla, bla , fear, fear , fear.
Perfect timing. Tap into the emotions of the masses to get them to ASK for more laws, so they feel safe.
I'm pissed about the proposed new rule and will do my part and write the FAA within the next few days.
I have a mavic pro and have flown it a lot these past 3 years. I registered and put the FAA number on it, like i was supposed to, before I ever flew it.
I'm fine with FAA numbers on our drones over 0.55 lbs. That way, if someone does something stupid and wrecks their drone doing or going somewhere they shouldn't have, it has a number on it.
But emitting a remote ID signal is too much in my opinion.
What if a big company or even state government is doing something illegal and I want to document it with my UAV and collect proof? I don't want them to hear a drone in the sky and be able to learn that it's me; then cause me all kinds of trouble.
I think collision with passenger aircraft is NOT the FAA's concern. I think civilian drones are a powerful tool and the government doesn't want civilians to be able to monitor things.
There are plenty of bigger things that fly and don't need remote ID emitting software and fly above 400 feet. Powered paragliders, gliders, ultra-lites, hang-gliders, paragliders, etc.
How is putting out a signal going to prevent collision with a passenger aircraft anyway? It's not. It's for policing/ monitoring, punishing. Yes, punishing does hinder people from doing illegal things.
But I think registering my mavic pro and putting an FAA number on it, definitely makes me follow the rules. I don't want it to collide with an aircraft above 400 feet, I don't want it found in a no-fly zone.
Maybe 2 million UAVs in the USA and I think the public has been quite responsible with their 2 million drones.
Or else you would see "drone hits" every day on the news, cause you know drone drama sells in the news.
Concerning comments to the FAA, I just wrote mine and would strongly encourage everyone to do the same - maybe some reality can be brought forward to the proposal.
My comments to them involve recreational flying in remote areas. I do video in remote portions of Maine and never have WiFi coverage and in most cases no Cell coverage. In my situation, I would be out of luck for flying. The designated FAA fly areas will have no effect on remote flying as they will be (from what I gather) small areas that are formally requested by CBO's (Community Based Organizations). There is no way any community is going to request a special fly area in the middle any remote area.
Anyway, that's it - please comment to the FAA.
Yes, and a key element is that there is currently no requirement that the broadcast signal from the AC be received by anyone or anything. Only that the signal meets a performance standard. At a minimum, that opens up all Class G in the boondocks.If the aircraft is able to self broadcast the telemetry then you can fly w/o WifI/Cellular etc. We fly in very remote areas so this is of concern but there is an allowance to potentially not have a problem so long as the Aircraft Can Transmit!! Only time will tell what they will require . . .
I know nothing about how it will work. However, seems if we're using GPS and our drone is registered the identification is already able to be remotely identifiable. So I suspect not much will seem different in practice.The way I understand it is that you have to have an internet connection that broadcast your drones location to someone. Or you have to Fly in a CBO area only.
I have no data plan on my Ipad so does this mean I can't fly anywere but a CBO no?
