Being 70 years old I have learned to put up with a lot of ever changing good and stupid regulations on almost everything. I can accept some sort of drone id except for the provision that ANYONE can monitor it. Legit law enforcement agencies don't bother me. It's Karen down the street. If she can know all the info about my flight I should be able to monitor her motor vehicle (which are proven far more dangerous). Considering the time frame many older quads will probably no longer be flying do to older batteries becoming hard to obtain, I think there should have been no restrictions on grandfathered quads. If the public can monitor the aircraft in the skies, then that should include the aircraft of Jeff Bezos, et.al. After all one of their drones falling from the sky can hurt just as much as my Mavic

There are no "Legit law enforcement agencies". Information collected will always be available to criminals and those don't want a million KZitemrs to upload videos showing their business moves whether it is done deliberately or not. Corrupting the police and the legal system is easy because you just need to approach a few people in the top. But controlling drone people requires guns and pilot location data. That's the reason remote ID exist in the first place and that is one very good reason why you should never transmit that at all. Gone are the days when investigating journalists could collect aerial photographic evidence to get people like Epstein exposed. The future is really dark!

And that is exactly why we should take the middle ground. Polarized is not a political term. It is a scientific term roughly meaning to gravitate outwards. That is a layman's definition. The particles of a magnet move from the center outward to 1 Pole or the other. Once the particles reach the pole they break off, they then can ether dissipate into the atmosphere or be picked up by the magnetosphere returned back to the center of the magnet to start their Journey again. If we use water an example for polarity. If you sit water in a dish and spin it it will gain kinetic energy the kinetic energy will move the water outward to its poles hence the edge of the plate. It cannot remain at the end of the plate for long before flying off and splashing onto the ground. Nothing can survive very long at the poles.

Thanks for a level-headed and rational break down of the info. I also don't see anything terrible in this. Also, a thought... If they eventually require a real-time track via persistent network connections, it won't be that big a deal to implement. Most modern drones use a cell phone for feedback and a screen. The app in use could simply use the cellular data to provide the data stream without the need for additional hardware. Remote I.D. is not an unreasonable thing. Nearly all manned aircraft require transponders already. (sure, for I.D. on radar, which is a different use case, but reasonably, any aircraft that could potentially be an obstical for a passenger aircraft needs to be visible.)

Derek, thanks for the post but none of the flight data is being stored anywhere. That's the big win for the hobby over the initial proposal. This is simply a beacon that broadcasts your flight information (like a real plane) while you're flying. When you land, the drone goes silent and nothing is recorded. As for the Amazon flights, they are as responsible as we are for safety in the skies and the need to avoid any issues. In my personal opinion, we'll never see Amazon deliveries at the scale they are proposing in our lifetime. My credo is worry less - fly more.

Derek, thanks for the reply. Essentially the beacon is only broadcasting while the drone is flying and since it's based on Wifi, it has a limited range. Only folks close enough to the drone when it's flying to receive the signal will be able to see that information and will have to act on it then and there. It's an incidental mechanism for those rare instances when someone sees a drone doing something goofy and is able to receive the Remote ID from the quad while it's flying. They would then be able to pass that along to the police to investigate. For example, if a drone was hovering off your backyard for 30 minutes every evening and you found that annoying (as all of us would), before Remote ID you'd have no way of knowing who was flying it or how to report them to make it stop. Now you'll be able to grab a cell phone to find their digital license plate and use that to report them. I hope that helps explain things a little.

Thanks for a great video explaining the different provisions for RID. I am also concerned that anyone can locate my location when I am flying. A member of law enforcement stated that they would have to comply with the new regulation which would allow the bad guys to know the location of their drones while conducting swat operations or other law enforcement activities. I do think it will take the public a fair amount of time for them to be aware of how to locate a drone operator and many will not care, but bad guys will eventually figure it out. Final point is bad actors will not register their drone, comply with RID or any other regulation and do bad things with their drone, so once again law abiding drone pilots are burdened with complying with new rules and regulations that many others will not comply with in the future. Again, thanks for all your hard work in explaining the RID.

I don't need to detail this, you know it - but John Q. is not where you want to entrust any type of 'law enforcement capability' nor enable it. There are plenty examples of this going wrong. I think the ability to identify the pilot, and giving oversight ability to law enforcement, is more than enough to at least ensure everyone that there is sufficient protection and that they should not worry. Why do I want my neighbor to know whenever I fly my drone to film my family events, a day at the beach, or just for my own pleasure? That's crazy. I hope you can see that DV. We need to fight that part of the regulation. Otherwise if I fly my drone, and my neighbor is tracking me, I want to know who that neighbor is. Let's play fair. Sorry, a little over the top.

You know, I couldnt even get past 2 min 48 secs on this, Rick. You've always been a 'squish'. You've always had that 'nanny state' philosophy, going back to the first rules which were even discussed. Your enthusiasm for UAS registration, for example, was almost nausea-inducing. The ONLY way the government will get any compliance on RID is by mandating it of manufacturers. Which in my opinion they have no legal right to do. And even then I have no doubt that many liberty-minded hobbyists will work to actively disable it on their own drones. I come from a family who was into R/C flying from back in the 1960's. Contrary to your premise, and your barely suppressed hysterics, there is no need for these regulations. Have we had some rash of "UAS crime" that I havent heard about? This is a solution in search of a problem. And the 'solution' is being sought by government bureaucrats who see an opportunity to expand their power over many everyday Americans. Americans who previously were not in thrall to the FAA at all, in their everyday household lives. My feeling is that many of these reg's, from registration on down to RID, will go the way of the FCC requirements to obtain a 'CB radio license', back in the 1970's. Where large scale civil disobedience resulted in the government recognizing that their unnecessary and over-burdensome regulations ran contrary to the American spirit, people werent going to comply anyway, and so to save face the government amended their rules. The real lament I have here, on your channel, is that you are trying to acclimate hobbyists to nanny-state micromanagement, of what for most people are backyard toys. And trying to sell this as "normal". No, its not. Why not regulate that children's bicycles have training wheels until sufficient proficiency is demonstrated? Then register the 4-5 year old rider "in case they do something stupid"? You know, the greater good being served by acclimating our youth early to the oversight which people like you want imposed on them as adults? To be honest, I cant believe that this discussion is even taking place. That I find it necessary to even impart a contrary view to you. Been a subscriber of yours for years, but now UNSUBSCRIBED.

Michael, I started this channel to help other fliers with the hobby. I don't work for the FAA and had nothing to do with crafting the legislation. While I don't agree with all of it, I do think it will make the skies safer for everyone and eliminate a lot of the reckless fliers from doing goofy things. I'm simply explaining what the regulations require, so please don't shoot the messenger. While I appreciate you passion for the issue, you're missing the point of the regulations. I'm not a fan of them either but if you want to fly, you have to follow them, its just that simple. Just like driving a car, you need to register, have insurance, pass a test and follow the speed limit. If you're not willing to put up with a few simple rules, don't fly. I am a responsible flier and have been flying RC as long as you and actually had a CB radio license as well as an amateur HAM radio license so I've been around the regulations for a while. What you're missing here in your simplified view of these newer drones is that they are not merely "backyard toys" like you mentioned. Smaller drones like that don't need to be registered so it's a moot point. The larger ones are sophisticated flying robots that can travel miles under a pilots control, do upwards of 40mph and carry heavy loads. Just google "drone, prison" and you'll see some of the dangerous things already happening. You can also search for a recent article where some knucklehead flew a drone over a nuclear facility, so the danger is real. RID provides an easy and quick way of telling a "good" drone from a bad one. Anyone on the ground will know if a drone is registered and where the pilot is standing so that authorities can have a discussion with them if needed. It's a simple device like a license plate on your car that identifies the drone and nothing more. One more thing you would have realized if you actually watched the clip is that it IS mandated for all manufacturers to implement RID in their drones starting in 2023As I've said many times on the channel, if you're flying right you have nothing to worry about. I'm friends with 51 Drones and its a great channel. You'll find that he's in favor of the RID as well, I'm just a little more vocal in my support. I do hope you'll come back to Drone Valley but if you can't take a little honesty on controversial issues like this, I still wish you clear skies for flying either way.

@@Dronevalley , Rick... Thank you for taking the time to reply. My comment of, "The ONLY way the government will get any compliance on RID..." was with the knowledge that, yes, this IS how they intend to gain compliance. My point was that this itself is quite telling, in that they realize they would not gain compliance if they did not require this of manufacturers. Meaning, left to their druthers, people flying UAS would probably NOT comply. Since you're in favor of this, why not also have the government limit UAS manufacturers to 400'AGL? Or require 'people sensors' which detect any person below the UAS, and then execute an involuntary immediate landing in the nearest cornfield? You know, for 'safety'? (unless you had been given the "electronic unlock code" by producing your Part 107, of course) Then perhaps the sensor should disable the machine until an FAA official 'unlocks' it, after having had a talk with and possibly citing you? Is this resonating at all with you? I am guessing not... How about the 'golf ball analogy'? Where errant golf balls, particularly with roadside golf courses, are well known to cause damage and sometimes even injury? It would be a simple matter, would it not, to require 'golf ball registration', right? And once golfers rolled over for that, you could then introduce 'active tracking'. And that would of course be mandated to the golf ball manufacturers (in case an errant golfer did not comply with the previous registration requirement). Re: UAS rules, most people thought 'registration' was overreach. But for the government, now with RID, to mandate additional complexity and cost to, yes, the 'toys' that most consumers buying them use them as, is outrageous. I'm sad to see one of the first drone channels I'd found dig their heels in. I was hoping that the registration issue was a one-off for you. Obviously not. P.S. - Re: '51 Drones', I did watch his video "Drone Rules 2021 - Some of These Might Make You Quit the Hobby!" And although he claimed that he was simply 'going to play Devil's Advocate', in reality he simply couched it that way in order to relate his own opinions, perhaps trying not to attract as much blowback? I dont know. But considering the sub-head of that video, his video was a bit disappointing. Re: his stance on RID, you might want to chat with him again. The last thing he said about it was, "But I can assure you that drone pilots are not going to accept the [RID] Final Ruling, as it is currently written, without a fight." And '51 Drones' has another video before that, which I have not watched, but which is entitled, "FAA Remote ID Lawsuit - RaceDayQuads vs. FAA - Hope for Hobbyists?" So unless he is clickbaiting people, or is purposely miscommunicating his true feelings, this does not at all seem like he is in favor of RID. Re: the public ultimately having the ability to monitor private UAS, under RID.....why would you both NOT think it would come to that? You guys slay me. Can I ask, and just send Smoke Signals if this is too sensitive: are these drone channels feeling like they have to parrot the FAA line, for some reason? As 'drone influencers', or some such? Perhaps paid to do so? (as some professional athletes in Australia have recently admitted to doing re: Covid, for the government there) Because this sure seems anathema to why people set out in these types of pursuits/hobbies in the first place. RID: The FAA literally tracking ALL of your flight activity, from your backyard now? Nope. Sorry. Many people will not comply, no matter what...

@@Michael-9275 I'm trying to be patient and respectful with my replies but you have a lot of misinformation in your opinions and I'll try and set some of it straight. First, nobody is tracking drones or monitoring your flights. The RID is simply a beacon that is transmitted over Wifi while you're flying to let others on the ground know who you are in case you do something dumb. It's no different than every other aircraft already has that's using the National Airspace. It shouldn't raise the price of the tech since it's already using a carrier (Wifi) that is built into the drone and if you're flying any of the newer drones from DJI and others - it's already in them. As for tracking other hobbies, all or them involve the device and the person using it somewhat attached. A drone can fly 6 or more miles away and is completely anonymous. This is where the danger comes from. I'm sure the VAST majority of pilots follow the rules but for the small percentage that don't, this will ferret them out and make the hobby safer for the rest of us. I know that Russ (51 Drones) walked a fine line with his presentation of the rules and I was a little more supportive, but that's the way I run this channel - honest about my opinions. I also knew that I would get a bit of grief under the guise of "freedom", which is pure nonsense since non of us have a God-given right to fly. Flying a drone is a privilege and it comes with some rules and responsibilities. Just like other activities that affect the general public (on the ground and in the sky) you have to follow the rules to participate. Like it or not, the FAA is responsible for the operation and safety of everything from the grounds to heavens and I think the simple rules they've come up with, including RID, are reasonable and easy to follow.

@@Dronevalley -- Rick, to me regulation makes sense when there is a demonstrated need, for the public good. And in my opinion that bar should intentionally be set pretty high. I.e., people have been and are more likely to be killed/injured by many other things than a UAS you can buy at WalMart. In fact, have there been ANY documented cases of people being killed, or injured in any way, by your typical dimestore UAS falling out of the sky? If so, I am not aware of any. Russ mentioned that the FAA regs are supposed to be for SAFETY....not 'privacy', or anything else. And so I can only assume that is true. I do understand proximity separation, of course. But for many years there was not even a confirmed safety issue with THAT. Yet some drone manufacturers took it upon themselves to govern this, apparently because they could feel the winds of regulation from the powers that be. [Sidenote: I am also aware of many commercial pilots resentment of civilian UAS, and their territorial feelings about the issue. Having some intimate knowledge of that profession, I can tell you that more than a few of the quoted 'near misses' with civilian drones, reported by commercial aircraft pilots, have been exaggerated or inaccurately attributed in an attempt to change public opinion and those of regulators. Have you ever wondered how the CPT or FO in a commercial airliner can pick out an approximately 18" in diameter, spindly object passing by at 500kts, perhaps hundreds of feet away? Or even at 150kts approach/landing speed? (almost 200mph) I sure have wondered that. And then I began hearing that, these days, if a pilot cant really be sure, they have in some cases by default attributed it to civilian UAS.] So thank you for the spirited response, Rick. I hope I did not come off as rude. But yes, you are correct: I, and many others it seems, definitely have opinions when it appears to us that we are being regulated, constrained, or surveilled unnecessarily. As with many discussions of politics in society, it often comes down to one's view of 'the proper role of government'. And in that as well, I suspect that you and I would disagree with each other on quite a bit :) Best of luck to you...

Thank you for sifting thru all the legalese in the FAA proposal. Like most government documents, it is difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. I was looking at getting a copy of it for myself so that I could have a complete understanding what this proposal really meant to recreational UAV pilots. I will admit that I have been tempted in the past to violate FAA rules with my drone and fly in a restricted area. I remembered what a smart man once told me about discipline. “Discipline isn’t about what you do when everyone is watching, it’s about what you do when no one is watching”. That is the basic problem with this hobby. You can have a ton of money to buy these drones with and not have a nickel’s worth of discipline with which to abide by the rules. This proposal will force that discipline. I am sure that there will still be folks who simply ignore the rules but for the most part, it should make us all better, more conscientious pilots.

I've had my Phantom 4 Pro for about four years now. As a landscape photographer, I NEVER fly around people, buildings, or traffic; always in remote backcountry locations. Not having to send real time tracking to an internet connection in order to fly is a definite improvement. A couple of years ago, I saw a video documenting an airport employee using the DJI device that tracks and identifies flying drones. The operator spotted one within five miles of the airport, and the guy remarked that he was able -- in real time -- to obtain the owner's email address and would send a warning. So how is it that current drones -- like my Phantom 4 Pro -- will need any additional device to comply? If it already knows where it was launched in order to return "home" to me where I'm standing, and my mobile device records the track from beginning to end, why wouldn't a firmware update enable it to also broadcast the registration and/or identification number? BTW, I'm still not convinced that drone delivery, such as Amazon is proposing, will happen. Even if they develop the technology to actually put it into action, the frequent buzzing of low flying overhead drones -- large enough to have the range and carrying capacity needed -- might be annoying enough. A lot of people are already opposed to the idea of hobbyists flying in their neighborhoods/vicinity. But the first bird strike that causes a crash damaging someone's property or vehicle, or causing any kind of injury, is all it will take to get it banned.

The only people UN-inhibited by these regs will be the so-called 'bad pilots' the regs are supposedly trying to regulate. Of the 100 million hobbyist flights during the last year -- how many were 1) nefarious and 2) of those flights, how many would have been halted by these new regs? This not about the security of people on the ground (or keeping hobby drones from intersecting piloted aircraft -- a much more realistic concern). This 100% about hyper-controlling sub-400-foot airspace for future fleets of commercial delivery drones. In reality -- like faking caller IDs on my phone -- a *very few* genuinely nefarious actors will spoof their beacon data and fly their drones wherever and however they want. Meanwhile, these regs will do nothing to appease the drone haters -- but it *will* tell them where to bring their baseball bats.

This plan (along with anyone that thinks it is a good idea) is very misinformed on how folks with bad intentions operate. This is no different than gun legislation....The only folks that will comply, is law-abiding citizens. A bad guy will still buy a gun (or steal one) - Same with Drone ID - only law abiding folks will be impacted (and that will be negatively through increased costs for adding the device to the drone, along with the technology for whomever is going to want to see the ID broadcast.) A bad guy will certainly not register his drone, nor will he equip it with an ID broadcast device. They will use drones not equipped with one, or they will steal one that has it, so someone else takes the blame for the flights. Also, I may have missed it in the document, but how easy will it be to de-register a drone when you sell it, (completely eliminating all records of your ownership and tie to it) - and will the new buyer be able to register it in their name? (Or are they going to be "buy and keep forever" items going forward?) Yes, this is clearly a bureaucratic initiative where the government wants you to "feel" safe. It will have zero impact on ANYONE that has no desire to operate under the new rule. (Even if it is a hobbyist, they can simply sit in their car and fly a current EVO or MAVIC 3-4 miles from where they are parked with zero (or very minimal) chance of being caught enjoying the hobby. As for a terrorist - forget about it....They obviously would not comply, and would still do whatever harm they intended. Reminder, that this rule will apply to all drones - This includes all fixed wing aircraft over 250g - goodbye park flyers. (And you are nuts if you think law enforcement will not be chasing these non-compliant (but meaning no harm) park flyers down to issue fines....With the economy in a downward spiral, all agencies are looking for any new/additional avenues to impose fines to help offset the reduced taxes they are seeing due to the virus lockdowns.. Nope - I think all the time, money and effort should have been put in to a microwave or other device that could simply disable a drone flying in off-limit areas or if it is seen doing stupid antics. (You can currently buy the items on Amazon (top shelf equipment with the range to be effective) that will disable ANY 2.4ghz device for under $200 (Jammer devices that interferes with the radio link) - (Yes, other frequencies are also available) The bottom line is, this rule may work 100 years from now when all the current models have likely been crashed and are no longer available, and the only option is to buy one with an ID device installed from the factory. (But then, I'm sure they will not be that difficult to bypass if someone desired. (Heck, folks crack cable and satellite TV easy enough, so I doubt these things will be much of a problem?) In the short term though, many people who say they just want to fly, and will not comply (and have not even registered for an FAA number yet) will simply ignore the rule and fly on private property or from the country roadside still. That goes double for anyone planning actual nefarious uses of a plane or quad....They will simply not use models with an ID, and go about their evil plans.... You need to view this like a car registration...most will register and pay their taxes on them...Some will make their own paper plates and continue to drive the car....However, a true bad guy will steal a car and use it while doing his evil deeds. This is just common sense. I bet if you follow the money on this, you will find one or two top companies that will make all the big money. (Like the company that makes the Broadcasting ID modules, along with the company that builds and sells the app that can be used on your smart phone to look up aircraft being flown. I also imagine you will see their representatives were all over the FAA along with a few select politicians to help get something in place so quickly. It was also not clear what would happen if your ID device malfunctioned....Maybe it is only broadcasting the serial number or maybe nothing at all due to a hard landing you had the last time you flew it. (or an ESC failure, or intermittent radio signals, etc.... Will the authorities give a fine, a warning, or will they confiscate your equipment, perhaps take you to jail for now knowing you were not broadcasting everything that is required?) This and the other concerns listed above may have been touched on, but like I stated, I did not read every word of the document. I did however peruse each paragraph and looked for certain topics that will likely crop up....(None of which were 100% clearly spelled out. This will be a disastrous implementation I think, about 28 month from the date it goes in to effect. (the deadline to have every 251g and above broadcasting in one of the current 3 ways.) Of course, the For-Profit AMA has a steak in this as well, because to avoid an ID device, you can fly at an AMA charter field. (Which will increase their membership rolls, along with the membership rolls of the individual flying club. This is bad for bringing new members to the hobby in my opinion. Would it not have made better sense to just make the rule that if you were going to fly, you had to simply have an FFA number, and an AMA membership card on you at all time. (Again, any bad guy with bad intentions for the drone use, will likely not have those credentials.) I know you seem to be expressing a positive mindset for these new rules in your video, (which everyone has the right to their opinion) but please look at the broader picture that I am trying to paint above, before running in to the cold embrace of the Broadcast ID rule. Hopefully I am wrong about this, but as you were going through your posting - you sounded like you were the type that would be okay for the police to search your car when you were pulled over for speeding, or you would be okay to let the police search your house because someone thought they saw you buy a gun that had a short barrel (both searches allowed without a warrant in hand) simply because you are a law abiding citizen and feel like you have nothing to hide.... BTW - Both of those are bad ideas, I don't care if you never broke any rule your hole life....Face it, your car has been in a shop before, likely you have had repairmen in your house as well.....Unless you were with them the entire time, you have no idea what they may have laid down and forgot about, or left trace residues of something they were using...ALWAYS request they get a warrant before allowing any searches. (They may due it anyway, if they feel they have probable clause, but at least you improve your odds at a valid defense, and perhaps a civil suit for violating your 4th amendment.) I am not unsubscribing from your channel, because I do strongly believe in everyone having a right to their opinion, but I sincerely hope you rethink your statement that you did not have a problem with the majority of the new rules. I feel they will only add financial burdens to me (a rule follower) and have no impact on the "secret squirrel" flyers out there, which automatically causes descension among the hobby guys. At the club I fly at, everyone has an AMA number, but only about 70% have registered to get an FAA number, simply because they felt it was an over-reach of their rights to privacy mainly. (The document did mention that anyone could have access to the broadcast data eventually. I read in to that as getting it in real-time) Seems like (based on 2 clubs I fly at) the vast majority (90 out of 100) of the fixed wing flyers are staunch republicans, and would likely comply with the remote ID. The quad flyers are represented by a slightly higher number of Democrats which would explain why they are thinking this rule has nothing wrong with it. (Not a dig against Democrats, just an observation from two AMA fields) (Only about 5 Democrats have said they would not comply with the remote ID rule) Take care, and best wishes for a Happy New Year to you and yours.

"What if" someone used an RV for a terrorist act? (Oh wait, that happened). Maybe RV's should be required to have Remote ID now? --- Now if a terrorist did want to use a drone, it will be easy for him to find one and take it so they can use it without it being identified to them. I foresee a lot of drone theft in the future.

This will drive a big push by manufacturers to come up with lighter drones that are under 250 grams. Eventually those designs can be scaled up and man rated and we will all be sitting in a quad copter that will automatically take us to where we need to go!

Duck, it's less about the terrorists than the new flier that walked into an Apple store and started flying their drone in the parking lot without knowing the rules. Remote ID keeps all of us honest and will help "educate" new fliers in case they do something goofy with their drones.

@@DFDuck55 you don't drive cars remotely either. Cars are on the ground where the registration plate can be easily seen. With a drone a few hundred feet in the air, a registration plate would be hard to see. Perhaps broadcasting the telemetry is a bit much, but broadcasting the ID makes sense.

Late comment here: I'm a responsible/law abiding recreational & Part-107 pilot too. Still..... I will never be comfortable with the (2016 ruling era change) that "there is no private airspace" anymore..... (private property & below the tree-line) EVEN "DRONE HATERS" ARE ASTOUNDED WHEN THEY FIND THIS OUT! "Corporate America's" right to trespass whenever and where they're not wanted (at the property owner's expense) should NEVER have been granted here in the United States of America! Very INTRUSIVE and in many ways contradicts both "inherent property owners rights", our Constitutional/Bill of Rights as US Citizens & PRIVACY!

Its not going to cost alot to add features. However willing to bet the manufacturer will use the presence of those features to raise the price of the drone. Manufacture: Ooh we have (ads b) thats cool right, we were so nice to add it to your new drone. Gonna cost ya. DJI FPV drone already advertises it as a new safety feature. They already have sales pitch. And now the air2s

I like ham radio.....and it used to be that in order to fly a remote aircraft or even a remote car, you needed a ham license. Not any more. I like metal detecting.....yet government is now telling me I cannot in so many places. I like panning for gold....yet some states are saying you cannot do that any more. I like flying and going on vacation....yet the government tells me I need to wear a mask (they don't work) and that pretty soon they will be telling us that no shots...no flying commercial airlines. The problem is....we have too many sociopath psychopath control freaks who gravitate to government. They know that is where the power and money is.....and when they can tell us what to do they get off on it. We are not a democracy....a democracy is when two wolves and a sheep vote on what is for dinner. We are a representative republic and no where in the constitution does it say we are a democracy. That is the language of illusion. I do agree that we need certain laws to protect aviation. I was flying a Cesna 150 and hit a goose at 100 knots. It did a whole lot of damage. Hitting a drone in airspace that is reserved for aircraft could result in death. So there are some rules that need to be in place to protect life. We all must remember this....we will get the tyranny that we accept. These regs are not the end of it. They will be back with more. Much more.
Rick, can you please clarify something I found confusing at about 12 minutes into the video ... fast forward in time to 60 days plus 18 months plus 1 yr from now, when all rules that are going to be in place ARE in place ... for a recreational flyer, flying a drone that weighs UNDER 250g, will that individual need to have remote ID on his drone? Will he have to fly at an FAA specified site and within line of sight? Thanks! Gary

Been flying for years. Mostly fixed wing. NOt sure how or why this applies to any aircraft that has no video feed. By definition, fixed-wing planes are ONLY flown line of sight, that plus 70 years of records show that the hobbyist flying non video aircraft ARE NOT the issue here. But since we have no lobby that matters ( ama has done NOTHING ) we are being thrown under the bus. This will result in the further loss of local hobby shops and the loss of lots of kids getting science and building experience. All due to idiots with quad copters and due to the amazons of the world. My $0.02 adding weight complexity and cost to dozens of older fixed wing planes is a huge issue.

This is my opinion! The FAA wants to mandate all of us hobby flyers to have remote ID in 30 months then the big players in the game like Google, FAA, Amazon and others should pay for and give each one of us registered flyers a FREE remote ID unit. I'm not talking about some vacuum tube monstrosity but a very lightweight tiny transmitter for our aircraft. The FAA says that three years is the life expectancy of a drone....I think not and will not buy another aircraft just to comply with another restriction that is based on zero evidence of our registered aircraft causing problems. I demand that my personal information be kept private! If we must have our personal information spewed out over the air then ALL aircraft including MANNED aircraft must follow the same rules. If we let the FAA push us out of our free use airspaces then they will come for more! U.S.A. And YES we are being forced out of the hobby....you just don't realize it yet!!!

We all don't fly quads, some fly rotary and fixed wing UAS. It appears that AMA fields will BE exempt from remote ID. That is great! What it means that guys who have been flying for years their fixed wing will be able to continue to do so WITHOUT any fancy trasmitter as long as they are being flown at an approved location like an AMA field.

As a responsible licensed Canadian flyer, I'm interested in what is transpiring into the US with remote ID because I know we will get the RID laws as well in the not too distant future. One thing that I didn't hear you touch on was about current Part 107 flyers. My understanding of the new laws is that if you have a Part 107, you have to have RID regardless of the weight of the drone. So even sub 250g drones will have to have RID if you have a part 107. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong there Rick.

It means that anyone that flies a quad for hobby, fpv, or commercial 107 certified (photographers, inspectors, etc.) will be getting a rectum resizing real soon. When Amazon, Home Depot and Target start sending their junk in the air using quads in densely populated areas, unmanned and uncontrolled, the same areas that you are not even allowed to fly in, people will be injured. Corporations will still be allowed to fly while all the blame for injuries and deaths will fall on the small businesses and hobbyists. That's the way it works. Presently manned aircraft takes precedent and high populated areas take precedent, not when Amazon has a package to deliver. NWO at it's finest.

As a Canadian, I fully expect our "regulation hungry" Canadian government will adopt these new US regulations fairly quickly given the only thing they don't regulate up here is going to the bathroom. Thank you for taking the time to explain things as you have done. It does ease my mind somewhat even though up here, extremists of all sorts are given attention far beyond the validity (or not) of their positions (example...latest gun ban proposal based entirely on "looks".) So if the hard work is largely done by the FAA, and the regulations make sense as they seem to, the mental midgets running policy for the current Liberal government don't have to start to actually think logically, and they can simply play copycat (sorry about the sarcasm, but you have to live here to appreciate the level of BS we live with.....)

Thanks this is very helpful! While just a hobbiest I've logged more than 5000 hours on copter drones alone, from just a few ounces to several pounds. I've probably also flown in a much wider range of conditions than most fliers, including an indoor musical performance setting and building inspection (prior to licensing requirements). This is great & highly needed range of regulations because it's about more than just how common hobbiests fly, it's also about what public can do when something does go wrong. For instance I was test flying a 5lb photo drone before an outdoor event when someone set up a jammer capable of messing with the copter signal. We were doing this after hours so nothing got broken & nobody was injured but with existing regulations and good records we were able to log the incident & determine what went wrong to catch the culprits. Fact is, as this hobby becomes more commercial we are going to need more regulations & one can hope that leaves room to just have fun. Personally I'd be very interested in a KZitem episode on how these new regulations could effect hobby developers & students looking to learn about developing both as flyers & engineers. Thank you again for a great review.

Seems dangerous for them to access and gain your location and possible get into a confrontation with them. 2. Can you do a video or point to one about what is considered “ dumb stuff” flying a drone? I sure don’t want to do it but what does the drone community consider this type behavior flying a drone? Some maybe obviously while others may not think it’s “ dumb stuff” Thank you.

I am part 107 and i have some wavers to fly. I have been going through this documet myself. I also believe that this is a very good ruling. My questions are, with this remote id being required to fly and gps positions that neet to be transmitted what happens when you lose the gps locations while flying? that does happen now and again. If you have a vaver for beyond VLOS. are you now going to be in violation with the new remote id in place? I ask because it's not clear based on these new rules. I have so many more questions but i will hold back for now.
