To be frank, the weight cutoff for remote ID and registration should have been closer to 500 grams (about 1 pound). Not 250 grams. And on the FAA killing the low cost toy drone market, there is a reason DJI actually supported these restrictions. They have the resources to comply and want to own the entire drone market.

Those modules for legacy are gonna be a major hassle, if they will even work at all. The FAA states the modules MUST prevent the drone from taking off if it's not transmitting it's ID information, which I don't even see how that would be possible with legacy drones. I consider myself a safe and responsible drone pilot and follow all the rules, but I WILL NOT be using Remote ID on my drones unless the pilot location broadcasting is removed or hidden from the general public. It's absolutely insane the FAA thinks it's ok for the general public to have that information and be able to confront/assult drone pilots! If the FAA really wants people to follow the rules and get the license and everything else, the FAA needs to actually start DEFENDING drone pilots, not just making rules and handing out fines. Start punishing people that harass and interfere with drones or drone pilots, confront cities and counties that think they own the airspace and use stupid laws preventing drones where they should be legal according to FAA airspace rules.

One reason would be for being so narrow minded & dismissive to the value of a FRIA (6:40). Having the FRIA option & the improvements that were made regarding FRIAs are very good things. If it had not been for RC Modelling, which happened at recognized & established flying sites, "Drones" would not have been invented. They are an offshoot from RC Helicopters. FRIAs are GREAT for experimentation, innovation or for learning how to fly. They will be crucial in building "Remote Control Flying Communities" They will be instrumental for Youth Educational Programs & for the future of Aviation. Not to mention the "Drone Racing" Community would prefer the options of having less weight on their performance aircraft.

Why do firearms have similar restrictions to buying furniture while drones have similar restrictions to operating nuclear power plants?" It's simply an absurd set of rules for a trivial issue in the United States. No people have ever died to civilian use of drones, and it's already illegal for civilians to weaponize drones.

After some additional reflection I have some suggestions. But first, Russ, I was remiss earlier by not thanking you for doing the research, reading these long, arduous and mind numbing documents, and providing insight to those of us in the drone community who want to learn and have a desire to operate within the rules. Now, for my suggestions: (1) The FAA is best influenced by public opinion and bad press. We need to engage with major news organizations to get our concerns elevated to a level where the FAA feels compelled to take a more thoughtful approach (2) When bad things do happen as a result of these new rules we as a community need to do our best to hold the FAA accountable (3) I know several groups have litigation pending. They’ve just been waiting for the new rules to be placed in the federal register, which will likely happen in January 2021. We - the drone community - need to support these legal efforts. I would encourage creating GoFundMe sites to provide these trailblazers with the cash they will need to take on the Federal Government (4) Finally, the drone community needs an association that can speak to these topics with a single voice. I believe there are a couple out there already. I suggest these groups come together as one, promote their prominence and value to those in the community who are not already members, and lobby our government officials on the issues that matter most to us. We’re small fish in a big commercial pond. We will not get what we want/need if we do not come together. Thanks again Russ for all your great work. You’re one of the best out there on KZitem. Here’s hoping you have a healthy, safe, prosperous and Zoom free New Year.

Not everybody replaces their aircraft every 3 years. I have been building model aircraft for over 50 years and multirotors since before DJI sold a Ready To Fly Drone. There are 32 fixed wing aircraft and 12 rotorcraft in my workshop and all have flown within the last 2 years. I just got a Mavic Air but every one of my other drones was hand built by me. Several of those fixed wings are over 40 years old and have flown in Japan, Oman, Egypt, and Diego Garcia. This morning I flew an 8 year old F-450 quadcopter frame with DJI Naza Controller with Gopro. After landing I flew a 40" wingspan acrobatic model. Model aircraft flyers have coexisted with full scale aviation since before the Wright brothers. What is happening now is silly, asinine, and a bureaucratic waste. I believe that most people will IGNORE the FAA UAV rules just as they INGORED the FCC and their CB Radio rules.

Thanks so much for reading that pile of ...uh...paper in such a short period of time. Curiously, you appear to have kept your sanity in the process. And that is to our benefit because, once again, you’ve done an excellent summary of the information in the two rules released. I tried to read the Remote ID rule myself, but the longer I read it, the more I felt my mind slipping away, so I stopped and started skimming to get at least a little information. My read through was clearly inadequate because I thought that operator location was continuously transmitted. I’ve gone back and looked again, carefully this time, and yup, you got it right. Only the initial launch location is transmitted, not the operator location. But, who on earth wants to have to launch from one location, and then pack up and move somewhere else when all the while the drone is airborne? Here is my question (which I couldn’t find an answer for): does the rule specify anywhere what the output power of the Bluetooth and WiFi signals from the drone needs to be? My impression is that they are relying on the Bluetooth and WiFi specs. As they exist, and as they may evolve (almost certain). That dramatically limits the range within which someone can actually be aware (on their cell phones) of when and where I am flying from. Bluetooth and WiFi are very low power signals. I agree with you completely that there will be incidents, but I’m assuming that an app will be required to access that data. I wonder if the FAA might consider requiring the data be processed by a publicly available app, but which would require an “unlock key” which would only be available to Law Enforcement. That won’t eliminate the problem, but it would surely help reduce the number of incidents dramatically. It won’t stop people who are “drone haters”. You know who I’m talking about: the ones who claim ownership of the airspace anywhere near them (especially their houses) and who will object to whatever you are doing because they don’t like the noise, the sound, the idea that the drone can photograph them or their families, or that even having a drone in sight whether it makes any noise, or anything else that happens to bother them. Anyway, thanks so much, Russ. You always come through for us. Now I’m going to have to think about my FPV drone hobby too. FPV drones are making tremendous improvements as well. Mostly in the realm of reducing weight which benefits those of us who fly long range.

So flying RC in designated flying sites is common and we will likely experience little interference. Now my fun rant that will likely rattle a few of your viewers. Frankly if a few people don't like or don't want to carefully share the airspace and they feel the FAA shouldn't impede with flying their toy flying cameras they will just stop flying all together, that will be better for the rest of us. I for one don't want careless uninformed yahoos out there anyway. It seems like those who know the least will sound off with the loudest complaints. OK, as I said this should rattle a few :)

An excellent summary and analysis as always. The only thing I disagree with entirely is the section about destroying the toy drone market. There are already under 250 gram toy grade drones on the market. Lots of them. From some of the same companies that have made toys for years. And they’ve got a suite of features too like GPS, altitude hold, etc. America wasn’t the only market of interest to deal with so they have been getting ready with these drones for a while now. So as long as the 250g stays, they’ll be fine. The problem is that they may just end up lowering or eliminating the 250g exclusion in the future. Japan already did lower theirs, as an example. The rush to create amazing under 250g drone could ironically become the death of that unrestricted category.

This is a good summary, thank you for your effort to keep UAV Pilots informed. I can see both sides of the controversy over the Pilot Location Issue and believe that the reason for this rule is indeed valid... Back in the late '80s I started learning to fly...it was fun until we nearly had a mid-air collision. Neither my Instructor or I saw the other plane... and the ATC was unaware of it's presence in Controlled Airspace... from that moment I learned that the more Eyes you have looking out for the 'other guy' that might take YOU out the Safer EVERYONE is. It doesn't matter if I was Flying, operating a Locomotive or a Motorcoach, or even my own pickup... I still believe Everyone is Safer with some sort of Co-Pilot and if you want to ride along with me, you better understand that you have to keep Your Eyes Peeled, too because NEITHER OF US IS PERFECT!!! So, take a Buddy with you...if for no other reason than to distract 'Karen' while you fly ... and dial 911 before she does.

Thanks for reading and applying the gest of the FAA rules and your thoughts. Something that has been glossed over so far is the transmission of RFID and how and if it will even be effective. Per what has been said is that the RFID will be broadcast by Bluetooth or WiFi. One thing not said is what is broadcasting the RFID information. Is the drone broadcasting Bluetooth or WiFi or is the base station, ie, the smart phone broadcasting? If the drone is broadcasting the information, that would be a moving target changing with location and the range limited to the distance limitations of either or bluetooth or WiFi. If the drone is sending information back to the base station (ie. smart phone) and it is broadcasting the RFID information, then there is a finite distance the broadcast will be covering, ie. the radio distance of the WiFi surrounding the Smart Phone limited by obstacles reducing the signal. Given the WiFi signal is much stronger, a bluetooth signal is only around 30ft, which severely limits the effectives of either the drone or the base station. So, if either or bluetooth or WiFi is selectable to make the RFID black box work, then shutting off WiFi and forcing to bluetooth limits the transmission of the broadcast to around 30 ft which, unless there is a receiver within 30 ft, makes bluetooth useless (one must also think in a 3D world, a drone 100 ft high will broadcast bluetooth downwards a very limited distance also. It would seem ideal WiFi coverage is most effective in urban areas, this seems to be the target of the FAA thought process but then one has to factor in the millions of smart phones beaconing in an urban environment along with hundreds of drones, seems to make this completely less than effective also. If one moves to remote locations well, one just has to consider how effective that would be. I will not even go into the FAA expecting Police Departments to act as their enforcing agents to their rules. It remains to be seen as to whether a Police Department will set up a squad to track down drone violators unless the FAA has the budget to give all the Departments across the country funding to man, train and equip officers to do so. As was expected, the FAA has done nothing but made the "over seeing" of the drone industry a complete mess. Well done FAA..

The add on module will not stop you from launching your drone. It is up to the pilot to not launch the drone if it is not broadcasting. Also, the add on module will not be communicating with the control station. This is why the information it broadcasts is different from standard, it does will not know the location of the control station, therefore it will broadcast the take off point in lieu. It is a stand alone unit that just broadcasts the required info.

Wi-Fi is not limited to the range you might find in a home network. There are drones using Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) that communicate over at least a few km (way past VLOS for busybody Karens and narcs). The FCC likely allows for more EIRP on 2.4GHz and 5GHz than routers are configured for.

Hi Russ, I have a question. Reading the current ruling, do you believe that manufacturers can comply with the Remote ID Module (option 2) requirements for legacy drones simply by issuing a firmware update? Most DJI products already have the hardware necessary to gather GPS and telemetry data needed to meet the needs of Remote ID, so it may just become a question of whether a given drone model has the required Bluetooth and/or WiFi transmitter right? If DJI issued such a firmware update, does the drone become a Standard drone, i.e. option 1, or is it still option 2 as it wasn’t originally manufactured with native Remote ID capabilities?

Good overall summary. The $50 guesstimate for the cost of the module is pretty high. I agree that this will be much lower. And yes, under Standard RID, the controller will be tracked real time. Module Broadcast will only display the take off point. The wording on page 162 deals with the module aspect of the package details, not the standard In talking with some LEOs, odds are there will be "UAS Specialists" on each shift. Sort of like specialized DUI or Canine units on each shift. It would be very unfair for LEOs to be fully understand the UAS rules. The FAA Drone Pros will also be some of the folks who help educate LEOs. I know many of us already do. And to defend the FAA here, the pilot location is there because the Federal Security Agencies would not sign off on the Final Rule is that was not in there. In my conversations with the FAA, they completely understand the issue and agree it's a huge issue for us. The Initial Remote Pilot test will still have a fee involved. The Recurrent training will not. The only thing I'd add is that homebuilt drones will be allowed to use either integrated to fly under Standard RID, or under Module Broadcast. So that crowd won't be left out either. Very nice video Russ, thanks!

Great content, thank for your time on this. One idea that I commented to FAA that they apparently did not pick up on but may still be implemented would be to have the code being broadcasted split into two segments. The first segment would contain basic drone data like an ID number or session number that would be available any cell phone inquiring. The full data with controller location would be only available to law enforcement and some other 3rd party monitor. So someone sees a drone they can get the ID/session number and call the law or they can pay a fee and perhaps get the info. When they do pay, the 3rd party sends the drone operator a record of who inquired and perhaps real time notification. Just a thought. Super complex it is.

First off thank you so much for mentioning that hobbyist/recreational pilots could always fly at night without the waiver, I can't tell you how many times I've had that debate. As far as the remote ID itself, I'll bet my bottom dollar that there will be a work around hack to bypass the disabling of the arming function a couple hours after the first one is sold. Not saying it's right or wrong, just the way it'll be. I totally agree with you on the community outreach and the police part being a joke. As a firefighter I have a ton of cop friends, and when I got my first street motorcycle a couple years ago, I asked a few of them how strict they were if I was out riding after dark or with a passenger, while still driving on my permit. (My state's requires permit for 6mos before testing, during that time, no passengers and daytime driving only) all three said they had no idea that was even a law, so I asked a bunch more, and only a couple of them knew about it, in a good size Midwest city. How long have motorcycles been on the road? And they think the cops will hunker down and learn all these regs inside and out? LOL. I don't think the ID not being transmitted over the internet is much of a win, like you said, it says "at this time"" it also quite frequently mentions "at the Administrators discretion" meaning they're going to change things as they see fit. As far as the broadcasting via wifi locally, is total BS, I don't know what your state laws are, but personally I'll be putting a sign up when I am flying that says "I am in the process of flying a UAS drone, it is not the only thing armed at this time, pleas wait until I land the craft before approaching me" LOL.

This ruling is for more than JUST DRONES. It also applies to my RC JETS. So I'm super happy I don't need to add anything to my planes that I fly at an AMA field.

"Drone" used to be a dirty word in the hobby. You would get chastised for using the term because people thought that would bring the FAA in and screw with us. Well, here we have the FAA screwing with us lol.

I don't think it was us small time people flying drones or any other aircraft that brought the FAA the FAA got involved when big companies got involved. The claims of various risks associated with unmanned aircraft were way overblown and manipulated to push the narrative that the government needed more control :-(

@@jerseyshoredroneservices225 The government always seeks control, lol. I mean, I remember the shock when that (iirc) NY kid got killed by his own 700-class rc helicopter a few years ago. But it was shocking because it never happens. People in this hobby are generally safe, because no one wants to ruin a $1000+ aircraft doing stupid things.

Yet another great review of the new rules by another KZitemr; thank you! I read all of the document also and it's yet another quagmire of legal jargon written by hired lawyers (Par for the course for FARs.😉) I must add that there doesn't seem to be any clear guidance for FPV racers. I can't find provisions allowing for spotters or other means to satisfy the requirement for flying line of sight only. Pretty silly for obvious reasons! Furthermore, those who'll fly at a club, the 12 month deadline for registering for a FRIA is removed and there is no intention for phasing out FRIAs as originally proposed. Also, there is no allowance for those who don't equip that don't fly at a club field. I like that you brought up concerns for protecting individual pilot's safety from angry tattletalers. There is also a danger of violating UAV pilots rights under the law! The FAA seems to be indifferent about this and expect everyday laymen to educate other laymen what the FARs demand. I would hazard to guess that when one is working in the safety of a FSDO or a cushy office in DC ,the agents think "Eh! those other guys will figure it out". Blue skies and happy flying my friend! 🙂

Russ, thanks for doing this video. So much better and informative than your last one. I burned the ink out of my printer after I watched your last video. The legalese in the 470 page report is typical government coverup clarity for sure but, now I no longer suffer from insomnia after reading and rereading the report.
