Interesting Video from Drone U: How to "legally" not comply with RID

[jmaganaski]

I'm seconding what @pilotinstitute said above.

And this is just one example of why I had to walk away from the ownership group of Drone U in January of 2020. And they still owe me almost $15,000.

I do not recommend anyone listen to Drone U when they start talking about regulatory issues. Paul does not know what he's talking about.

Clearly. Bozos like this will get people in trouble.

Unfortunately, you are likely right.

I've often wondered what if you have a hacked dji drone? Will it keep working? Who's going to catch you if you do? It isn't like there's a lot of cops that really know the rules or are looking for drones flying around. The average citizen doesn't even know what RID is to even report someone? I've never heard anyone address these questions.

I came across this video the other day and wanted to see what people thought about the advice being given here.

8 minutes of word cabbage repeating the beating of the dead horse with repeats of all the current jabber, with 10 seconds of how to deal with it.

I agree with your assessment of the video.

But I'd like to remind folks that turning off GPS (for those few controllers that allow that) would put you in violation of the RID rules after 9.15.23.

And if it's a standard RID drone, that's not even possible.

BTW, when the FAA says the video is wrong and will get people in trouble, and you don't listen and leave it up, and you're a TRUST provider, this happens...

LOL Nice going Paul!

I do not know if Drone U mentioned this, but one way to fly legally w/o RID is to only fly at FRIAs.

Or to have a sub-250g drone being flown recreationally without needing to be registered.
