FAA as of 2023: The following must comply with remote ID regulations: Unmanned aircraft that require registration All aircraft under 55 lbs operated under part 107 All aircraft over 25 grams and under 55 lbs operated recreationally Unmanned aircraft operated for safety purposes
What I wanna know is how is average Joe Shotgun supposed to receive the radio ID transponder signal and know the 50 lb gorilla drone hovering over his house is OK?
Bigger drones require an FAA exception for a very specific flight space. But once again, how does average Joe know that unless someone notifies him?
The transponders are supposed to be readable with a free phone app from the FAA
Interesting. Google play has a drone scanner app. I wondered how it works with phones. Apparently the small drone RemoteID modules broadcast the info using WIFI and bluetooth signalling.
I think it is another example of mandating a technology that wasn't ready yet.
