Questions first or they get lost near the bottom. This is about the upcoming UAS location information sharing from the FAA.
What would be a reasonable range of radio transmission for UAS to other aircraft?
How much would such a device weigh?
Excerpt from FAA overview: Remote identification (or Remote ID) is the ability of an unmanned aircraft in flight to provide certain identification and location information that people on the ground and other airspace users can receive.
In a rural or uninhabited area where no wireless telephone service exists there is no internet.
That leaves radio transmission. Tier 2 flying, if I understood correctly ( I'll spend weeks reading this last release).
I never fly with internet connected to my Mavic, I use a Crystal Sky. Just can't see a phone without a towel over my head. No VLOS with anything then!
Given that ADSB is prohibited for UAS use, what kind of receivers will manned aircraft have to use the location transmission? Do they have it now?
Flying in a designated area holds no interest for me. If my Mavic had no camera, I would never use it.
The first year of flying the Mavic was fun and exciting. That's after decades trying to fly RC helicopters or cheap drones. They never last long (a week or two), but I kept buying more over the years. Too hard.
Just having the Mavic hover in place for several minutes would make me wet my pants, but that thrill is gone. I just take pictures. No other reason to fly.
