Mavic Pro becomes a scrap after the end of 2023 ?

ylmavicpro · Apr 22, 2023

According the new EU regulation, my Mavic Pro Platinum ( around 742g) belongs to transit category, which is not allowed to fly, without class mark, as of 01.01.2024. DJI can not issue a class mark for Mavic Pro drones retroactively rigth now. Does it mean it becomes a scrap from that day? Any Mavic Pro pilots in EU countries have the same worry as I have?

Thanks.

How do you insert your id, in order to be able to fly after 2023? I would appreciate if you can help. Thanks.

Ridiculous

You can attach an aftermarket module. AFAIK there is only one available now, for ~300 UK Pounds. As the drop-dead date nears, there will probably be other cheaper options.

The Mavic Pro now has FAA approved remote ID built in. It’s the only legacy model to have it. No idea how that translates to other countries rules, however.

Thank for your information. I hope there will be a cheaper solution in the near future.

Thanks for the information. i have not heard anything about it in Switzerland. I have asked the DJI customer service, they just said vagely that they are working on it, it depends not only on them. They said: not worry.....

I must be going blind. Show me where it says Mavic Pro 2

No firmware update has come across yet, so I'm not sure how this is going to shake out.

You are right, you may be going blind because the OP asked about the Mavic Pro Platinum and I never said anything about the Mavic 2

Sorry. I put them both in the same class

Mpp but not m1p but firmware should work on either. Whenever it comes across.

Please correct me, if I am wrong. It seems the RID is not a deciding or urgent issue in EU. The MPP will turn to a scrap overnight at the end of this year, because it lacks a class mark C1, if DJI cannot issue it retrovactively.

Yes, interesting that there is no firmware update. I am guessing that means the artcraft already complies with remote ID. Not sure how else to interpret that.

I will first and foremost say that I am American and as such my knowledge of US laws only helps to understand the EU rules but does not make me an expert.

Reading the rules it seems aircraft purchased before 12-31-23 and under 25KG can still fly under subcategory A3, no? Again, not an expert in the EU rules but unless I am reading this all wrong it seems to be the case.

It practically has the hardware, but it doesn't have the remote ID function other than djis proprietary aeroscope. Maybe if you just enter the serial number the faa is happy.
