Mavic 3 Classic, entering Operator ID (remote ID)

[agatek]

Hi,

I've been trying to identify the way to input the Operator's ID Into the drone as per coming soon legislation requirements in Singapore (where I am based in).

DJI Mavic 3 Classic User Manual

Direct Remote ID
1. Transport Method: Wi-Fi Beacon
2. Method of uploading the UAS Operator Registration Number to the aircraft: Enter DJI Fly >
Safety > UAS Remote Identification, and then upload UAS Operator Registration Number.

Unfortunately I don't see anything like this under the Safety tab assuming this is the dji fly of the remote controller... or it has to be on a smart phone? Any experience / anybody encountering the same issue?

All firmware is up to date.

The answer from the internet seems to be that DJI doesn’t activate remote ID untill after it is required in the country you are in. So if it’s not actually required yet that may be why

Thank you. That's very possible. I had a conversation with DJI CS yesterday about R-ID in another drone, mini 4 pro, where Operator ID is not even mentioned in the user manual. They sell this drone in Singapore with the plus battery so the weight goes above 250g and Operator ID will be required. In short, the answer was, if the legislation is confirmed they will likely issue a firmware upgrade to address it.

Yea and I think you have to know that DJI used to have a program called aeroscope which was a remote ID like system that was enabled on all drones and DJI got hammered for privacy concerns and spying which it is still recovering from so it’s easy to see why they would be reluctant to do that again unless it is legally required.

Small, but pretty optimistic update, not on Mavic 3 though, but the mini 4 pro I mentioned. Still I think this may be the way the things are designed to work in respect to RID.

I am presently in Japan and I was concerned I could not fly the mini as what Singapore authorities planned to implement in December, Japanese authorities already required and RID with Operators Reg. No had to be transmitted for drones flying in Japan. In Singapore checking the Security tab, there were no option to enter operator's RID. Well, in Japan, once the drone sensed the location, such option appeared and clicking it I was asked to provide my login and password to the Japanese government drone registration web site. After entering the data, the controller connected to the site and retrieved the Operator's No! Of course, what I earlier had to do was to follow the procedure to register the drone in Japan (including its serial No etc.) and get the approval. So I am happy to report it all worked well and likely something similar will also happen in Singapore in due time.
