register your drone, vs non register?

[GFields]

I suppose one could argue that you also don't "have" to register your vehicle. That is until you're pulled over and get a citation.

At the end of the day, it is a matter of being legal. Doing what's right. More times than none it is those that rebel against the laws and rules that cause more problems on the road and in the airspace.

Fly safe, fly legal!

I have had my DJI mini 2 for awhile, i have been thinking of upgrading to a drone that requires registration. I fly just as a hobby for fun around my house no videos online and i enjoy the aerial photography.

Why do you need to register your drone once it's over a certain weight? The little drone could cause just as much of a issue as a larger one maybe not to the same extent but can still be abused.

Does registration really change anything other than you can be easily identified? I'm assuming that is the whole reason for registration.

Thanks for the help!

What are you afraid of that makes you not want to register your drone?

Nothing at all it was just a question.

I have a Mini 2 & fly exclusively in Class G airspace. I have no reason to register it or get a Part 107.

And you didn't read the original post or the thread. That's not what he meant

I fail to see the dilemma here. The reality is that you are flying an aircraft in the NAS along with other manned and unmanned aircraft. Why not just pay the 5 bucks for three years, slap a sticker on you new drone and be legal like most everyone else? By you possibly deciding to not play by the rules the rest of us that do will pay the price.

Just curious, how would you respond if your drone had a flyaway, and crashed causing damage to people or objects? Are you ready to take responsibility for liability?

I've never heard it discussed but do we get a notice when another $5 bucks is due?

It's a one time fee in Canada. Not sure about the USA.

I register everything whether it needs to be or not. If you are ever stopped and your licensed and registered there is less hassle.

What does this have to do with whether or not the pilot needs to register with the FAA?

if he's flying a sub-250g drone recreationally he doesn't need to register with the FAA.

How he would respond if responsible for harm to people or property simply isn't relevant to the question of registration.

Yes. Just got a notice/email actually, for 2 of my quads a month ago and re-registered.

I fly exclusively in Tonto National Forest for exactly this reason.

Comes Sept doesn’t matter if you’re registered, you can still be tracked. What that means remains to be seen. What will enforcement look like? Stay tuned.

This is all the security/LEOs wanting this. Suppose that have their own play book. They just want FAA to make it easier for them. Governments are good at picking and choosing.

The FAA demands that you do what the LEOs are telling them to do. Isn't there a break in the chain of command here somewhere? But I think somebody said one of the other bills they were trying to pass if it passes contradicts even the FAA rules. So this all may go in a trash can somewhere.
