Do they have to be glow in the dark?

The agency, which last month proposed looser restrictions on drone night flights,

would require proof from a manufacturer that a malfunction wouldn't cause severe injury if the drone crashed into a person.

DJI might just get banned


Larger drones also would not be allowed to fly overhead if they have exposed rotating parts or if they have any known safety defects.

Just when you thought the worthless registration was as dumb as it could get... the FAA comes up with this! I guess this will go along with all of those drone that they have gotten during illegal flights and used the registration numbers to track.

Oh wait.....

They have _never_ in 3 years use the registration to match a drone with an illegal flight? Oh, so I certainly see the issue with someone rigging a drone to explode when the battery is removed. However, let's look at this in the real world application. I fly a drone illegally, I rig the battery to explode if it is removed..... and I put my registration number on the outside of the drone? I mean, I want to be legal, right. So of course I don't put it on the outside. At _some point_ someone is going to need to get into the drone to see if it is on the inside. So the outcome/result is the same.

You really have to wonder what the FAA is thinking.

Just print it on the side with a sharpie. I marked my hull with side numbers last year and they still haven't come off. If you want to remove it just use alcohol. Oh my god the inconvenience of it.
