Coming from Europe, I already did the TRUST certificate in April this year and took my DJI Mini 2 with me for our vacation in Florida, as it is below 250g.

Now for next vacation in the U.S., I'm thinking of taking my DjI Air 3 with me (just checked the Remote ID is approved by FAA), but have to register the Air 3.

Now my question: reading through all the information, I figured out that I have to submit a Notice of Identification (NOI) to the FAA:

https://www.faa.gov/uas/gettingstarted/notice-identification-foreign-registered-drones

So is my understanding correct, that foreigner don't register their drone (as they have no U.S. address), but instead only have to submit this NOI?

More than likely ,and these people wonder why there are so many unlicensed drones all over ........

seems to me there are a lot of unlicensed drones in some parts of the USA flying about atm also making the news here in the UK ......i wonder if they have remote id ?? apparently the Americans don't know whose they are ??? very strange .maybe i will join the gang lol......

I think the whole point of the implementation of remote ID is the pilot doesn't have to know much about it; it just works. the way it is planned, if you go buy a drone (except a toy or a mini) then you're probably going to have remote id whether you like it or not. It's not a matter of being licensed or registered. With that thought in mind, for nary a single "drone" to be broadcasting is a bit strange. Obviously I don't have to details but I have yet to hear the authorities are using remote ID as it was intended and reporting to some extent it is working; in fact, they say they are stumped and they got nothing.

If you come to Omaha or Memphis or Birmingham or Tucson and there are recreational drones everywhere coming out to play, you're for sure going to get a healthy about of remote ID by default. there's no such thing as "but maybe only the old drones are flying or the perhaps the pilot doesn't know about it and is out of compliance."

My air 2 s is one of the early ones on an older firmware ......no mention of remote id that i can find ,i guess if id update it i may see it .if people are using a model that is not compatible are they meant to ditch it (no pun intended) and buy a new one in the usa ?

If you happen to have an older drone without RID built in then you will need to attach an external RID module to the drone before you fly it, if it needs to be registered.
