Here is the problem: The general public can download an app and see YOU and the drone. This is law enforcement information. The general public should not have access for OBVIOUS reasons. Fix this and we’ll talk. The general public has assaulted me twice while doing professional road survey work for the State of California. I will not compromise my safety for FAA control. NFG This is the hill I will die on.
@@HR91360 That is why it is important to stop using Google products like TH-cam or worse, their search engine. If you want a voice, Rumble and X are the places to be.
I wonder if you have an android phone and root it and get a program to change your GPS location if that would change your RID location as well? It maybe worth a shot to get root access to your phone.
Don't worry. The FAA isn't running around with a scale to weigh your drone. Neither are the local cops. The FAA has no way to enforce its rules without the aid of law enforcement. Unless you post your illegal flights on social media. I haven't met a single cop that knows what RID is or how to see if you are in compliance.
Too bad the FAA couldn't have done this without giving the location of the pilot/operator/ground station. I wish the Remote ID module would only transmit the s/n and location of the drone within the area. Then give law enforcement access to a data base so they could match the s/n's with the owners info. I think it's dangerous and irresponsible for the FAA to broadcast the real time location of the ground station/operator/pilot, etc. Because there are so many people out there that could use the info to attack, rob (or worse) the drone operators.
I insure my drone for that reason. Can’t tell you the number of men threatening to shoot down my FAA registered drone, that has RID and a tail number. First it will be an FAA issue, then possibly a Penal Law issue, and then tortious interference of business practice in civil litigation. That is why I have an FAA license (thank you Pilot Institute) and fly responsibly.
It is called unequal protection under the law and is devoutly UN-AMERICAN and illegal. I am NOT putting myself at risk to the anti-drone nutcases out there.
I'm 63 this year. Started flying in 1976 and have built and flown everything for the past 46 years. So fortunate to own my own land and built a 400 ft runway. Nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away. And I got FRIA approved. Life is good!
I am generally not an advocate of civil disobedience or violating the law, but this power grab will not accomplish what the FAA and DHS want. RID is not ADD B and will not integrate drones into the US airspace system. Furthermore, an individual intending to do harm using a drone will either use a legacy one without RID of build his own. Furthermore, for recreational pilots who do not hold a Part 107 liscense who own an old drone without RID, I suspect if you keep a low profile and you are not operating in an urban area you should be fine if you get my drift.
Nobody should comply with this unless your a commercial operator even then id resist compliance. For those flying drones as recreation this is not something you should comply with at all. Do not fly in airspace around airports or vital infrastructure its that simple. Its nobody's business what you doing with your drone or where you are while flying it. All this regulation when at the end of the day pilots have killed more people in the ground and in the air in the last year than any drone has in 20 years so ask yourself why is this necessary at all. The FAA should focus on the areas they oversee with aircraft operators and mfg not waste time on drones. Everyone should be asking what's the real reason for these laws and rules and why is goverment and law enforcement exempt from these rules but we have to abide by them.
Although I see both sides, I agree with the general idea that alphabet agencies shouldn’t be regulating the public to this extent. They all need their power significantly nerfed.
No thanks, I'll continue to fly dirty and build my own. My drone is a sovereign aircraft and isn't required to comply as it's on a aeronautical research mission.
Doesn't matter. If you fail to maintain compliance under any of the rules under 49 section 44809 your operations revert to part 107 and then you're screwed. Get educated
This is why if you feel like being compliant, buy the worst rated shortest range piece of junk module you have to. Make it work to absolute minium spec to be compliant, and just about no one will see your quad on any app unless they are within 30 feet.
The latest news is that the Senate passed a bill to allow us to fly without remote-ID as long as we don't fly in controlled airspace. No need for remote-id. Congress has the power to override the FAA.
It would be nice if the FAA makes it mandatory for those people monitoring pilots on their phones to broadcast their location and ip address. This doesn't solve the problem but it would also make them worried about monitoring drones. We don't want them to know our location neither do they. It should add to our safety a little bit. The public needs to broadcast their location when using their phones to monitor pilots

"license plate" ..no no it is not that at all. Sorry sir, but you need to stop using that as it is 100% incorrect. Does your vehicle license plate tell people far away from you where you are by transmission? No. Does it allow any random person to target you and know where you are while you're doing something? No. Does it allow people to simply be in the area and see all the vehicle license plates in the nearby parking lot? No. Does it give out information the public does not have access to? No. It is not a license plate. That is a terrible analogy.
@@PilotInstitute And yet continuing to use the moniker "license plate" gives a very wrong impression to those who do not understand all the nuanced details. It makes it far to easy for those outside the group to just say "oh it's just like the license plate on your car, that shouldn't be a big deal" and give it an easy pass.
@@PilotInstitute Yes and you've completely missed the point. Adding "digital" means jack all to the public at large. All they hear is license plate. Period. And what do they know about them? Metal ones that go on cars and only cops have access to their related info and must be specifically read by said cops eyeballs or plate scanning cameras, there is no drag net option like with RID.
But our videos are not for the public at large. Nobody who is not into drones will watch something about Remote ID. I understand your point. And we have discussed the issues related to remote ID. But it IS a digital license plate. And that’s an easy term to picture for those who fly drones and need to picture it.
I found the Holy Stone HSRID01 broadcast module worked out for my home built drones, I just tape it to whatever drone I'm flying because it is light enough and has its own internal battery.
What is the range of remote IDs? Doesn't DJI also capture detailed flight information on their servers? Not only can the authorities track your active flights, but they can also access a complete history of ALL your flights.
DJI is a terrible company. They were specifically complicit in creating this, and got in bed with the Feds early. I would never give DJI a dime of my money for the same reasons I will never buy a Ruger rifle.
When I was really young, I got a little rc plane for my birthday because I was interested in aviation (forgot the exact model but it was a 3 channel beginner), this is what really got me into the hobby, I started to watch a lot of the flite test videos and about 4 years ago I built my own foamboard rc plane, I always wanted to fly it but never got the opportunity, school got in the way and I partially forgot about it until just a week or so ago when I dug the plane out of the garage. I'm a bit saddened to see the way the hobby has gone, now I have to comply with all of these regulations, just to see if the sucker flies at all. Thanks so much for these videos, without y'all and a friend (of whom informed me that these regulations existed in the first place) I would never have been able to figure all this stuff out on my own!
Exactly. Next it will be all drones over 25 Grams.... then anything that flies above 3 feet from the ground. Never Comply or give in. Just like taxes, they slowly keep taking more and more until people say enough. Let the revolution begin.
When i was super green 6 months ago, i went to a fria and it was the size of a football field with high wires on both sides. I said. F this. Have been flying whenever and wherever the faa allows me to fly ever since.
The only bad thing about FRIAS is that many require membership to a CBO, while others are located in private property (such as universities) and outsiders may not use them without a prior valid authorization. Feds make it too difficult.
So, this is also a way to keep people from optionally registering a drone that is not required to be registered. You'd think they'd like that having more data.
A. So now, the Mini 4 Pro, if using the “big” batteries (or doing 107) must be registered. Once “registered,” now it requires RID all the time. So, if I pop in the smaller batteries, I am now NOT compliant, since it doesn’t broadcast with smaller batteries. Correct? Insane!
@@chuckfinley3152 Everyone’s big and tough, until they get confronted by the police. What’s your address so I can mention it to the local authorities…dude. What other laws do you scoff at?
You'd be compliant with the smaller batteries if flying recreationally. You only have to broadcast if flying under Part 107 or the drone weighs more than 249grams.
We don't know in practice what if anything it'll be. Or to what extent local law enforcement will even care. And the FAA has better things to do and not enough agents either.
Since this has gone into effect, i have started carrying two .45's on my hip. It is definitely a deterrent for karens to keep their distance. Some who i notice come up to me in a huff. i just reach down and unclip the snap to the weapon. They do get the message and stop in their tracks to yell at me while my sighter calls the police. i hope the police are happy with the FAA. Since this has gone into effect, i've had karens and richards ordering me to stop since. My team knows to call the police and they all open carry. This law is going to cause someone getting hurt. Mark my words someone out there is going to attack a pilot and then it's on
Hello, I'm flying under PART 107 and I have four drones. I fly gen v1 Autels do I need a remote id for each drone or can I swap the remote ID from drone to drone?
Technically you’re supposed to have 1 RID tied to each serial number. They’re stupid expensive still so in order to stay legal, you’re going to have to spend quite a bit. I’ve decided to retire my smaller 2.5 and 3.5” FPV drones for the time being and I’m flying my RID equipped 5” for everything now. It’s faster, louder, less safe. But I’m staying legal.
Here's where I'm still a bit confused. 1. I have to register a drone if it's flown recreationally and is over 250 grams. 2. My drone is not over 250 grams so I haven't registered it, and it doesn't broadcast RID. 3. I want to add accessories or a Plus battery at times, which takes me over the 250 gram limit and kicks my RID on. 4. I register the drone for when it's overweight. 5. At times I don't use the accessories and it's again below the 250 gram limit. 6. If I've registered the drone for when it's overweight (and is broadcasting RID), do I still have to broadcast RID even at times when I'm not overweight just because I've registered my drone? My drone only broadcasts RID when it's overweight, but doesn't if under 250 grams. Do I then have to buy a RID module for when I'm flying under 250 grams? I'm assuming the answer would be yes, which to me makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. But hey, we're talking about the government here, which generally F's everything up they touch.
Thank you for this video, i just bought DJI Air 3 drone and next week i am traveling out country do i need a remote id for this? If so, were is the cheapest and best place to buy one. Any suggestions? Thank you
I’m new, almost bailed after finding this out. But theres alot of good options under 249gs until remote ID gets figured out. Sucks though, shit is un American
It should be noted that many (most?) FRIAs are private areas with rules and membership requirements. I've heard from AMA club officers who've begun seeing non-member multirotor pilots show up at their clubs' fields thinking the FAA has given them permission to fly there.
FAA needs classifications. Unelected officials (FAA) changed the definition of objects. It doesn’t say one word about remote control helicopters or planes on their website;)
Hi, what do you make of this situation? With the current firmware update a DJI Mini 3 Pro's RID won't activate if you use an ultra light 249g battery....🤷🏻 You have to use the heavier intelligent plus battery to have it activate RID... 🤦🏻♂️ That causes a conundrum for someone that only has the ultra light batteries wanting to operate under Part 107…🤔
There has to be a way to convince DJI to make RID transmission selectable in the software. I just paid an extra $400 for the fly more combo. Now I have to buy either an RID module, or the bigger battery. The main reason I bought the Mini 3 over the Mini2se was because it was RID compatible. With a simple software "upgrade", none of that matters. I need the gov to stop spending my money for me!
I also bought the M3 and registered it. I have the standard battery and recently bought 2 of the larger batteries. Since the DJI upgrade no longer transmits RID with the standard battery, does that mean I can't use the standard battery? This should be a simple fix for DJI.
This isn’t really that much of a problem because you need to be fairly close to the signal in order to receive the data. For instance the drone tag beacon only has a range of about 200ft. That means the signal is only detectable 200ft from the drone. So if you’re over 200ft in altitude no one will ever see it.
Won’t be using it. 90% of the airspace near the ground doesn’t even require real planes flown by “real” pilots to have their version of remote ID. So I won’t be using it. Y’all are blind to see this is a pure invasion of privacy and an attempt to control what’s supposed to be a fun hobby.
RID already helped me a few days ago. Someone in the community I live in complained about my Avata to management. Management sided with me because I could prove exactly what flight path, speed, and altitude I was flying at.
I know it sounds dumb. But I just wonder if I fly a DJI mini 3 which under 249gr, just for fun. Do I have to registered anything or just the TRUST test is enough?
No need to register it and no need for remote ID in this case, but you need TRUST and you need to follow all the other FAA rules like altitude restrictions.
How do you confirm if my DJI P4P V2.0 that was firmware upgraded to Remote ID. It is shown as approved on the FAA Public DOC, but how do I verify that on my drone - this is not clear?
@PilotInstitute I'm waiting on mine to be returned from DJI due to gimbal issues, so I can't check. When I registered my replacement back in June, the 1st 4 were 11US . Would that change now to start with 1581F? I'll have to wait to check when I get back. Maybe @tjcambell811 can check his.
I’m thinking like, when it has lost connection with the remote, or if it’s forcing a landing due to battery depletion. But yeah I’m curious exactly when it would do that too
If you registered it, you need remote ID. But it’s also an easy fix to un-register it since it’s not required. Just go to your inventory in the drone zone and delete it from there. Remove the registration sticker and you’re good to go!
I did too with my mini 2,now wish i hadnt,according to this guy if registerd were suppose to have one even if flying in complience with weight limit,i only registered because i added landing skid,strobe light which puts it over weight limit.just wanted to be honest,and this is what we get,more regulations and one more cost to fly,screw it im done with flying.
On another note, the UAV Coach's TRUST is saying: "If you already have your FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, you do not need to go through this training, unless you plan to fly under the recreational rules." I don't believe that to be accurate...🤔 Where does it say that a Part 107 Pilot needs TRUST to operate recreationally?🧐
It’s actually correct. If you plan to fly under the recreational rules, 49 USC 44809, then you need TRUST. Part 107 certificate has no value under those rules. With that said, you can fly recreationally while following part 107 rules, which would not require TRUST. It all depends on which rules you decide to follow.
At 1:10 you said “OVER” 250 grams and then said “UNDER” 250 grams. What if it’s exactly 250 grams? I think it is “250 grams or more” it must be registered. Even the FAA website has conflicts in the wording.
A little confused. I have a Mavic Pro v1 and Phantom 4 Pro v1 and have a Holy Stone RID module. Do I need to register the S/N of the RID with the FAA? Logged in to thier site showing my registration of both drones, but did not find a way to register the RID. Anyone have the link concerning this? Thanks.....
Under "UAS Type" there is a drop down menu. Select "Remote ID Broadcast Module" If recreational register it separately, one module can be used on all your recreational drones. If part 107 each drone has to have it's own remote ID module unless built in.
Yes. Delete it from your inventory and remove the registration sticker. Then you don’t need RID as long as you don’t add accessories to make it more than 249g, and you keep flying recreationally.
Is Air Sentinel only available on an iPad because I can't find it on my phone on the App Store. I have a Phantom 4 Pro V2 and its compliant after I checked but I don't know how to tell if its broadcasting its remote id signal?
I read somewhere recently that if your drone weighs less than 249 gram. It does not have to be registered,but you still have to take the "Trust Test". Which is it?!!!!
This is as bad as the ability to look up someone's address by their vehicle license plate. If you didn't like the way they drove you look them up and go to their house. Nice
Those of us that have been flying rc airplanes and heli's for decades without issue want to that FPV and drones for all this compliance we have to deal with today.
@@PilotInstitute I think some people mistake the dislike button being for disliking the information a video provides. This video is good, informative and appropriate. Don't shoot the messenger with a dislike is always my take. I do miss the dislike count for weeding out bad info and videos, but yours are always spot on.
You’re assuming this video has dislikes… 97.2% likes/dislike ratio so far, so zero effect on how the video is shown to people. And you’re also assuming videos with dislikes are not being shown on TH-cam, which is incorrect.
You can fly anywhere without remoteID that you previously flew if youve never been confronted. Just be respectful and don't be dumb. Hobbist arent gonna shell this money. FAA aint gonna get us to comply after ignoring all our concerns and pushing this overly strict regulation. If you're really concerned just add the module and wrap it in anything to obstruct the signal from reaching more than a few feet. Not like it had much range to begin with. This whole thing isn't very enforceable anyways so its likely just having the module on the drone would be enough to bypass a fine. Even if its not as functional as they'd hoped-for.

A. So now, the Mini 4 Pro, if using the “big” batteries (or doing 107) must be registered. Once “registered,” now it requires RID all the time. So, if I pop in the smaller batteries, I am now NOT compliant, since it doesn’t broadcast with smaller batteries. Correct? Insane!
Just fly your drone dude
@@chuckfinley3152 Everyone’s big and tough, until they get confronted by the police. What’s your address so I can mention it to the local authorities…dude. What other laws do you scoff at?
Lolol, don’t hurt your back bending over to lick that boot
You'd be compliant with the smaller batteries if flying recreationally. You only have to broadcast if flying under Part 107 or the drone weighs more than 249grams.
@@MrPlaneTalk Calm down, Karen. Go feed your cats while people have fun.
What is the fine for non RID compliance?
10 K
We don't know in practice what if anything it'll be. Or to what extent local law enforcement will even care. And the FAA has better things to do and not enough agents either.
@@jasonhurdlow6607 Lotta fines for federal violations through the different services tend to center around 10K
It’ll get thrown out in court. Watch
@@jasonhurdlow6607,local LE will be able to enforce compliance? And / or write tickets/fines???
Since this has gone into effect, i have started carrying two .45's on my hip. It is definitely a deterrent for karens to keep their distance. Some who i notice come up to me in a huff. i just reach down and unclip the snap to the weapon. They do get the message and stop in their tracks to yell at me while my sighter calls the police. i hope the police are happy with the FAA. Since this has gone into effect, i've had karens and richards ordering me to stop since. My team knows to call the police and they all open carry. This law is going to cause someone getting hurt. Mark my words someone out there is going to attack a pilot and then it's on
I've thought about that as well. My state now has Constitution Carry and if I fly off my property, I will be open carrying.
I WILL NOT COMPLY
That’s the spirit

Hello, I'm flying under PART 107 and I have four drones. I fly gen v1 Autels do I need a remote id for each drone or can I swap the remote ID from drone to drone?
Technically you’re supposed to have 1 RID tied to each serial number. They’re stupid expensive still so in order to stay legal, you’re going to have to spend quite a bit. I’ve decided to retire my smaller 2.5 and 3.5” FPV drones for the time being and I’m flying my RID equipped 5” for everything now. It’s faster, louder, less safe. But I’m staying legal.
Here's where I'm still a bit confused.
1. I have to register a drone if it's flown recreationally and is over 250 grams.
2. My drone is not over 250 grams so I haven't registered it, and it doesn't broadcast RID.
3. I want to add accessories or a Plus battery at times, which takes me over the 250 gram limit and kicks my RID on.
4. I register the drone for when it's overweight.
5. At times I don't use the accessories and it's again below the 250 gram limit.
6. If I've registered the drone for when it's overweight (and is broadcasting RID), do I still have to broadcast RID even at times when I'm not overweight just because I've registered my drone? My drone only broadcasts RID when it's overweight, but doesn't if under 250 grams. Do I then have to buy a RID module for when I'm flying under 250 grams?
I'm assuming the answer would be yes, which to me makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. But hey, we're talking about the government here, which generally F's everything up they touch.
Thank you for this video, i just bought DJI Air 3 drone and next week i am traveling out country do i need a remote id for this? If so, were is the cheapest and best place to buy one. Any suggestions? Thank you
You have to look at the specific country you’re going to. If it’s the EU, GOOOOOOD LUCK.
They only have jurisdiction in Washington DC people
What a bummer. Which one do you recommend for the mini 2? It’s registered and I have part 107 so it looks like I can’t fly without it.
I’m new, almost bailed after finding this out. But theres alot of good options under 249gs until remote ID gets figured out. Sucks though, shit is un American
So what are people doing about a potential DJI ban?
Flying our DJI drone. Lmao
I fly mine with a middle finger
You should also try “the shocker”
It should be noted that many (most?) FRIAs are private areas with rules and membership requirements. I've heard from AMA club officers who've begun seeing non-member multirotor pilots show up at their clubs' fields thinking the FAA has given them permission to fly there.
well, they have
Should have just included what Drones have standard Remote Id and which ones don't? this video may not apply to most drones??
It applies to all drones, but we showed the link in the video to find out if your drone is natively compliant: uasdoc.faa.gov/listDocs
Screw RID
FAA needs classifications. Unelected officials (FAA) changed the definition of objects. It doesn’t say one word about remote control helicopters or planes on their website;)
Remote control helicopters and planes are Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
@@PilotInstitute yep. That’s what they told everyone.
How do I find out if my drone has a remote ID? I bought a mini 4 pro, registered it with DJI, but does that mean I have a Remote ID?
It has remote ID when used with the large batteries.
But either battery type will still allow anyone to find me...correct?
Hi, what do you make of this situation?
With the current firmware update a DJI Mini 3 Pro's RID won't activate if you use an ultra light 249g battery....🤷🏻
You have to use the heavier intelligent plus battery to have it activate RID... 🤦🏻♂️
That causes a conundrum for someone that only has the ultra light batteries wanting to operate under Part 107…🤔
There has to be a way to convince DJI to make RID transmission selectable in the software. I just paid an extra $400 for the fly more combo. Now I have to buy either an RID module, or the bigger battery. The main reason I bought the Mini 3 over the Mini2se was because it was RID compatible. With a simple software "upgrade", none of that matters.
I need the gov to stop spending my money for me!
They can’t make it selectable, it would be against part 89.
I also bought the M3 and registered it. I have the standard battery and recently bought 2 of the larger batteries. Since the DJI upgrade no longer transmits RID with the standard battery, does that mean I can't use the standard battery? This should be a simple fix for DJI.
This isn’t really that much of a problem because you need to be fairly close to the signal in order to receive the data. For instance the drone tag beacon only has a range of about 200ft. That means the signal is only detectable 200ft from the drone. So if you’re over 200ft in altitude no one will ever see it.
i got the mini 2 se and looks like i dont need it. yea yea.
It doesn't send the location of the pilot but it sends the location of takeoff which is within 10 or so feet of the pilot
How are government agencies exempt but the rest of the public have to comply?
Won’t be using it. 90% of the airspace near the ground doesn’t even require real planes flown by “real” pilots to have their version of remote ID. So I won’t be using it. Y’all are blind to see this is a pure invasion of privacy and an attempt to control what’s supposed to be a fun hobby.
RID already helped me a few days ago. Someone in the community I live in complained about my Avata to management. Management sided with me because I could prove exactly what flight path, speed, and altitude I was flying at.
Flight logging has been around for decades. One doesn’t need RID for this.
U can prove that without rid. U have a app that shows u where u have flown.
Wow. Show me your papers and prove your innocence huh? Hard NO on that!
Hi, I’m a beginner. What type of remote is a DJI FPV? Where is the serial number of this type of drone? Thank you!
Its O V E R ... Unless you sign up for our courses ..
Oh I missed that in the video. Where was that?
How and who is tracking my RID module?
Coming next, Remote Shut Down…..
I know it sounds dumb. But I just wonder if I fly a DJI mini 3 which under 249gr, just for fun. Do I have to registered anything or just the TRUST test is enough?
No need to register it and no need for remote ID in this case, but you need TRUST and you need to follow all the other FAA rules like altitude restrictions.
How do you confirm if my DJI P4P V2.0 that was firmware upgraded to Remote ID. It is shown as approved on the FAA Public DOC, but how do I verify that on my drone - this is not clear?
I have the same drone and would like to know this as well.
What are the first 4 characters of the serial number in the about page?
@PilotInstitute I'm waiting on mine to be returned from DJI due to gimbal issues, so I can't check. When I registered my replacement back in June, the 1st 4 were 11US . Would that change now to start with 1581F? I'll have to wait to check when I get back. Maybe @tjcambell811 can check his.
Curious about what type of emergency status my mini 4 pro (or any standard RID) would be sending?
I’m thinking like, when it has lost connection with the remote, or if it’s forcing a landing due to battery depletion. But yeah I’m curious exactly when it would do that too
when you say March 16, is it 2024 or 2025? Hard to tell when this video is being watched in the future.
0:58 if you can't fall asleep at night, it's the perfect document to read😂😂😂
Works wonders! Any of the Federal Aviation Regulations works.
I registered my mini 2 in 2020. Dont have a part 107 and fly recreationally. Is it mandatory for me to be rid compliant?
Just a guy who knows a lot of nothing here.
As long you’re under 249, sounds like you’re good.
If you registered it, you need remote ID. But it’s also an easy fix to un-register it since it’s not required. Just go to your inventory in the drone zone and delete it from there. Remove the registration sticker and you’re good to go!
@@PilotInstitute actually just unregistered about 15 mins ago. Ty
I did too with my mini 2,now wish i hadnt,according to this guy if registerd were suppose to have one even if flying in complience with weight limit,i only registered because i added landing skid,strobe light which puts it over weight limit.just wanted to be honest,and this is what we get,more regulations and one more cost to fly,screw it im done with flying.
@@tomharmon3193 unregister it. Thats what i did.
How is Dji Avata Compliant when it really was not made that way especially when it requires your phone to be connected on the older models ? 🤔
What is the range of the remote ID signal?
Depends,but about 1000-2000 feet from what we tested.
In a desert environment. Not in the TRI STATE area 😅😅😊
@@felixruiz2838that’s a great observation.
Would anybody happen to know if the DJI mavik pro 2 would need a module or can it be installed by updated software?
Mavic 2 Pro is RIDICULOUS compliant. You can verify here: uasdoc.faa.gov/listDocs
On another note, the UAV Coach's TRUST is saying:
"If you already have your FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, you do not need to go through this training, unless you plan to fly under the recreational rules."
I don't believe that to be accurate...🤔
Where does it say that a Part 107 Pilot needs TRUST to operate recreationally?🧐
It’s actually correct. If you plan to fly under the recreational rules, 49 USC 44809, then you need TRUST. Part 107 certificate has no value under those rules. With that said, you can fly recreationally while following part 107 rules, which would not require TRUST. It all depends on which rules you decide to follow.
@@PilotInstituteThanks for the clarification 👍🏼
Remote ID is collision avoidance for Amazon drone delivery, maybe helicopters and a placidness for the uninformed public
At 1:10 you said “OVER” 250 grams and then said “UNDER” 250 grams.
What if it’s exactly 250 grams? I think it is “250 grams or more” it must be registered.
Even the FAA website has conflicts in the wording.
249 grams or less does not have to be registered unless flying under part 107. 250 grams or more has to be registered for part 107 and recreational.
A little confused. I have a Mavic Pro v1 and Phantom 4 Pro v1 and have a Holy Stone RID module. Do I need to register the S/N of the RID with the FAA? Logged in to thier site showing my registration of both drones, but did not find a way to register the RID. Anyone have the link concerning this? Thanks.....
little late to worry now.........weve been talkin about this for a couple years. Loos like you need to do some research now!
Under "UAS Type" there is a drop down menu. Select "Remote ID Broadcast Module" If recreational register it separately, one module can be used on all your recreational drones. If part 107 each drone has to have it's own remote ID module unless built in.
I need to know what remote i.d. I will need to be legal for my newly purchased standard phantom 4. Would anyone know ?
Any of them are legal
We are in AMERICA noone gave the FAA the right to take our right to flight away or regulated to this extent WILL NEVER COMPLY
Is it legal to UNREGISTER your drone if it’s under 249g And fly recreational ??? No Remote ID
Yes. Delete it from your inventory and remove the registration sticker. Then you don’t need RID as long as you don’t add accessories to make it more than 249g, and you keep flying recreationally.
Thank you for your reply! I’m sure it will help many……👍🙌🏻
Were do we buy or aquire a remote id and is it attached to the drone?
Holy Stone has an affordable RID module, attaches with velcro and easy to program.
@chetblake2565 thanks I'll look into this
Is Air Sentinel only available on an iPad because I can't find it on my phone on the App Store. I have a Phantom 4 Pro V2 and its compliant after I checked but I don't know how to tell if its broadcasting its remote id signal?
Phantom 4 won’t show in any iOS app because it uses WiFi tech and iOS devices can only pick up Bluetooth remote ID devices.
Good info !
@@PilotInstituteSo im good to fly then? Nothing to worry about?
If it’s updated to the latest, you should be good!
@4:50 it looks like a demolition derby from the '70s. Parts all over the ground and everything. 😂😂😂
For sure! You'd have to be crazy and/or rich to fly there!!
There are 40$ moduals out there
eBay about to fill up with DJI drones
So if i registered my drone but fly recreationally and
Yes.
I read somewhere recently that if your drone weighs less than 249 gram. It does not have to be registered,but you still have to take the "Trust Test". Which is it?!!!!
Thanks for putting this out. It will help a number of folks.
Where can I get this information adot drones under 249 grams I want to screen shot it
What If I have a Mavic3 pro . Do I need a RID?
Let Jesus take the wheel and don't do anything crazy, you'll be fine.
No look at declaration of compliance ( uasdoc.faa.gov/listDocs)
? I got a drone But iam registered with Faa but iam not over the weight limit do I need remote ID? To fly Recreational?
As long as you're sub 250g and you fly safely. You're good
Thanks for update Greg, I will pass this information along.
In Europe you also have to register a Tello. So I guess I just have to put a €240 module on top to stop it destroying the entire planet.
Break the law simple
This is as bad as the ability to look up someone's address by their vehicle license plate. If you didn't like the way they drove you look them up and go to their house. Nice
Those of us that have been flying rc airplanes and heli's for decades without issue want to that FPV and drones for all this compliance we have to deal with today.
Hmmmm. What?
So you're telling me I can't fly no more without remote ID
No, he’s telling you that you can’t fly ANYMORE.
If I can buy a plane or drone off the shelf and it can fly over 400 ft. It better have RID in it already. Lots of lawsuits gonna happen.
Will not comply.
Anyone knows the app name on IOS? Something that is tested and really works?
6:13 Watson Lake Prescott, AZ?
Yep!
And just like that, DJI Minis will be flying off the shelves. No pun intended. 😅
Only a jerk would comply such regulations that go against the pilot's safety. Also these rules are unenforceable.
do you need a remote id for the DJI Mavic 2 Pro? If so, were is the cheapest and best place to buy one. Any suggestions would be appreciated
The 2 Pro is natively compliant so no need for a module.
Oh, how I miss TH-cam showing dislikes…
What’s wrong with the video quality that you want to dislike it? Is the editing not done right? Bad lighting? Let us know.
@@PilotInstitute I think some people mistake the dislike button being for disliking the information a video provides. This video is good, informative and appropriate. Don't shoot the messenger with a dislike is always my take. I do miss the dislike count for weeding out bad info and videos, but yours are always spot on.
@Montana_horseman, agreed. Also, if you’re on desktop, there are plugins that show the dislikes. It is useful for some DIY videos!
You’re assuming this video has dislikes… 97.2% likes/dislike ratio so far, so zero effect on how the video is shown to people. And you’re also assuming videos with dislikes are not being shown on TH-cam, which is incorrect.
Register your drone though. You'll get less punishment for violating a TFR at the super bowl than you will for an unregistered drone.
What's the FINE $$ ??
Still waiting for the 50 dollar one like the the FAA saided
I think they can track non dji only as far as the rid signal & the detectors r probably by stadium & downtown or police, etc. building ?
@rkdbaj I seen dji on apps but need to test others but in a Real World Test lolololol
Hhmmmm...
You can fly anywhere without remoteID that you previously flew if youve never been confronted. Just be respectful and don't be dumb. Hobbist arent gonna shell this money. FAA aint gonna get us to comply after ignoring all our concerns and pushing this overly strict regulation.
If you're really concerned just add the module and wrap it in anything to obstruct the signal from reaching more than a few feet. Not like it had much range to begin with. This whole thing isn't very enforceable anyways so its likely just having the module on the drone would be enough to bypass a fine. Even if its not as functional as they'd hoped-for.
