As always, my thanks to Joshua for creating this video and interviewing Alex and me. Of note: a FRIA is only applicable for Recreational flight. If you are doing part 107 operations, a FRIA does not apply. Dave Messina
@Todd_Gerhardt that's sad to hear we've had parks in central New york invite us to hold events to generate interest in the parks. State parks are illegal but local municipalities usually don't mind us
@AAronFpv nice, I go to schools on weekends when there's nobody around, I tries to fly one day while waiting on my son to get done at a club and a cop showed uo and told me I couldn't fly there anymore
@Todd_Gerhardt that's ridiculous. I work in schools using drones to get kids interested in STEM. They're doing every kid in the state a disservice if they don't allow drones to be flown on school grounds. Drone Soccer has been sweeping the nation. The nationals are the end of the month in Virginia. I really hope they aren't preventing the children in your state from having this opportunity to get involved in aviation and technology at an early age.
@@davedauria4782 it's been a good amount of time now. Has anyone been fined for lacking remote id? I don't think they're targeting home builds as much as casual drones but I don't see how this is enforceable unless the FAA shows up on site of an incident or LE holds a drone as part of evidence of a crime
Joshua...congrats on getting your land passed as a FAA-Recognized Identification Areas (FRIAs) Its a start! Appreciate the information as always. Still so much 'grey area' here (as you know). A park for example in my state (NJ) get's approved as a FRIA. However, all parks in the state of NJ prohibit drones. Round-and-round we go...
The FAA approving it as a FRIA means the FAA doesn't require RemoteID there. That is a completely independent situation from whether the state, county, city, etc allow you to fly there.
These guys are heroes. The iconic No Quarter Ranch was one of the first locations the FPVFC worked to get approved as a FRIA, so the best and worst (like me) can race without RID. Thanks!
rID should not be required under 1 kg unless engaged in 107 activities. The need for 107 licensing should have a minimum income requirement equal to or greater than a full time minimum wage income.
A 1kg threshold might make sense for FPV quads but it's very annoying for other types of flying, eg slope soaring. Those models are often heavier than 1kg and are frequently flown at public sites (cliffs, mountains).
This is much of the problem in modern times: Law abiding people are always eager to negotiate their own oppression. We got people walking into stores, cleaning off shelves, and just walking out. There are drug addicts in the streets just camping out. There's no shortage of people who have thrown any rule of the law out the window. And then you have the people who try to follow EVERY arbitrary, undemocratic law with sheepish acceptance. Some of them are so blindly obedient, if they were cows they'd march into a slaughterhouse, and even report on the cows that stepped out of line to score brownie points with their butcher. Nobody voted on these laws. It has no mandate by the people. We have the power, not them. They have no chips and no cards. We should be forcing their hand, not folding.
@@MaxSMoke777 go along to get along....and then you're effed and it's too late. The people that went to bat against rID gave up far too easily, their arguments were weak and poorly executed. I imagine many people took a pay check in order to cave so easily.
Nah, if a plane hits my quad, they were most likely going to hit a tree shortly after anyway. If somebody is trying to figure out why I'm flying, what the heck are they doing in the middle of nowhere? The FAA can kick rocks. I'm not blowing $100 per quad to notify nobody what I'm doing.
With the Supreme Courts recent ruling majorly reigning in cheveron difference it is unlikely this "rule" would hold up in court. Rules issues by the executive branch that require costly and burdensome action by the citizen and are not based in law as passed by the legislature are likely invalid. The FAA is treating remote id like some law that was passed but it absolutely is not. The FAA are not legislatures and cannot make laws.
@@joemck1235 you aren’t far at all. Right now I’m crazy busy with my business but after the spring rush we should meet up and rip it sometime. I have a park not far from me that I haven’t had any problems with so far.
I have an idea FPVers: every drone I own weighs 250 grams or less even my 7 inch. What law enforcement that youve met in USA a) carries a calibrated scale around with them and 2) would even know how much 250g is from their experience as they very likely know oz and Lbs only. So always compliant, prove that Im not
Still looking for an exemption for rid when flying recreational under laanc. The other thing, as a frame designer making several prototype frames, an exemption under experimental. With laanc, I don't see a reason for them to have two separate identifiers.
yeah honestly where is the line drawn between models? if I am flying and I break a frame and I replace it with a new frame that is a different model do I have to register it with a new identifier? If not, what if the flight controller also died in that crash and I need to replace that too. Its basically the ship of Theseus. When does it become a new model?
@Joshua Bardwell - can you apply for a waiver within the bounds of your home (by which I mean property)? The operations are commerical but are repeated in a limited area where it has been decided for other reasons that UAS can fly without RID. I mean logic says that the "hazards" (such that they are) to the public or other aircraft are already present in that area so logic kind of says that flying the exact same type of UAS in the same area is not realisitically adding any risk. Edited to clarify "property" instead of "home".
The FAA does not have the authority to set rules and regulations indoors. I know your comment was meant in jest, but this is an important point. For example, kids flying whoops in a gym do not need to worry about any FAA regulations. DaveM
@@JoshuaBardwell Thanks for the reply. I was getting excited about open source and hoping it was getting closer to be a viable digital replacement to name brands.
Can a FRIA exist within the boundaries of controlled airspace, for instance you have a school you have flown at for years in a class D with a 200' ceiling?
For the flights around your property where you are using new products “recreationally “can you post a video of the recreational flight and then later on post another video reviewing the product/s?
The only part of rid that intrusive is the control station location requirement. There's no way outside of a fria or getting special treatment by the FAA like Bardwell did by getting your house approved for a FRIA.
Glad you got yours done JB. 👍🏻👍🏻 Not so much as "celebrity" status as it's WHAT YOU DO and it's not a threat or bother to ANYBODY. 🤷🏼♂️ All your stuff...we know where it is. Pretty sure if it starts "raining drones" in your neighborhood...the neighborhood knows where it's coming from. 🤣
If I am ever out on the east coast fria will be easy to find, lol from Iowa to the west coast I am going to have to fly like an outlaw flying out in the wild wild west
The concept is great, but the reality of the common FPV flyer is the thrill of shooting gaps, & dive bombing tall structures, not many, if anybody's property has such a setup to keep ones interest.
Speak for yourself. My current residence, my parents property, my fiancés parents property, several of my friends properties are all fantastic natural FPV playgrounds. theres so much great space out there.
I know it may not fit to this topic, but Im currently building a arduino based remote controll to send ppm data to the fc. It all works fine, you can clearly see that the bars are correctly moving by using the joysticks. I also set the throttle to around 1000, under min_check. The only thing appearing is CLI and MSP. But as u said the motors should spin when disconnecting the usb cabel from the port. Do you have any recommend on this, Im sure this is not the right place to ask you this but I dont know if you still answer comments from older videos. Maybe you can do a video on this or just help me by an answer. I appreciate ur time🙏🏽
I've built my FRIA checklist... I already belong to the FC, is there a way to submit to CBO for help submitting the FRIA app? Maybe I'm missing a link on their site but just wondering what the next step is. Great content as always!
So if I see there is a distinction for EDUs on the fria map. I do sometimes fly at the schools ball fields and I know they do some drone recording during football games. Does the EDU have to apply for this or can someone do it on their behalf? I would also assume the 107 recreational flying rules would not apply the same at an EDU site?
Anyone can apply for a FRIA anywhere, regardless of if they own the property or not. However, getting permission to enter the premises and fly there is between you and the property owner. You can fly 107 at an edu site or wherever you want.
@@JoshuaBardwell Yeah have flown fixed wing for so long and that was normally all you needed was permission. Thankfully around me in East Tennessee there are still a bit of AMA style flying fields but they have never really been all that welcoming to Multi-Rotors.
Watching because here in U.K. legislators will watch America for how to implement this for maximum profit, I can already hear them rubbing their greedy little mitts over licence applications and permits
Wish it wasn't so hard to apply. I have the address and coordinates of a 186 acre park where some of us fly, There are some things on the checklist that I can't seem to figure out how to do.
We recommend a FRIA be small. The individuals reviewing FRIA applications are reasonable people. If we get crazy, the application will simply be denied. Dave Messina
@@OpaFPV How about talking to local farmers and putting applications in for whole farm properties? Trade with the farmer "we'll do you fence checks via drone for free"...
There is ONE FRIA with in a 100 mile radius of my house, ONE! At 150 miles that number goes up to four, at 200 miles its a whopping eleven. Of course the population in that 200 miles is maybe 500K and most of that is it two city's both of which are 200 miles away from me. It does mean two things, the local police have no clue what the FAA rules are and the FAA is less likely to payattation to what is going on out here.
I can't tell if people in the comments are missing the point of the video: that if there isn't a FRIA near you, then YOU CAN MAKE ONE at your favorite flight location. There are so many people complaining about the lack of FRIA in the comments, and I don't know if it's just general desire to complain (go for it) or you're missing the point that you can solve that problem yourself, and that's why I made this video.
I Carry a semi auto shotgun in my trunk when on out flying (keep in mind I work and fly for fun in Detroit) ever since the remote id bullsh*t I’ve bin paranoid that someone might try to rob me thinking I got high end drones
It is NOT illegal to fly in a public park, im seeing this comment a lot and it is false. There might be a TOWN ORDINANCE, about it. Maybe that could lead to some fine of some sort but it is not "illegal". You can not fly in any STATE parks that im aware of. but public parks in towns, if an officer asks you to stop then i think you should just pack up and go to a new spot. but i would never allow them to touch or collect my gear.
Thanks to TH-cam FPV influencers not supporting AMA, and choosing bandos over FRIA sites, I have 2 AMA FRIA locations in San Diego, CA all to myself, no FPV nerds onsite. RC fixed wing folks leave the site early. Please continue to NOT support AMA clubs.
Im going to do a review of my avata and post it on TH-cam then send the link to kevin Morris at the FAA lol. I even inspected my roof the other day. All recreationally of course 😂
For 107 operations using FPV. Not long range!!! Specifically smaller short range Quads. We need some exception, as furtherance of a buisness could be as simple as honing skills. I hate to say it but with rapid changes in direction attitude and altitude as well as short flight time... maybe we just have a module on a post that just broadcasts continuously until we are done? I mean lets be realistic?? You could almost set up a broadcast area using more than one.
I use fpv drones to manage my pasture FAA realize this years ago now I have a 90 percent clear sky no more low altitude air traffic damn noisy airplanes I fixed that real quick Homestead goat farm❤😂😂 lot of different aircraft flying super low so annoying so dangerous bust out that drone every single day and you'll make your own FRIA
the gubmnt wants to know and ask for individual to tell them about: your> car, trucks, house, pets, bills, rc planes, motorcycles, passport, licence, work, to grow crops at the house, if you sell, have a business, even for unemployment, collection, even if you give money away for free thus charity, (btw giving money away they consider it illegal).
You can try to become a CBO if you really want to, but the steps are difficult and the FAA is not keen to approve more CBO's. For example, to become a CBO, you must be a 501(c)(3). You must develop a safety plan for your members. You must "represent a community of operators". I don't think FPVFC is attempting to be exclusionary when they say, don't try to become a CBO. I think they're saying, if you want a FRIA, you don't have to become a CBO. That's not the intended path. The FPVFC didn't "do it just fine". It was hard, and they did it so you don't have to.
Yeah I think the warning is more so thousands of people don't go trying to do it just for the sake of sending a FRIA application. If you genuinely have an interest in a CBO then go for it.
RID is absolutely absurd to me to be honest BUT the thing that blows my mind the most is that you have to have a separate RID module for every drone that you have. WHY??? what the actual fuck is the purpose of having a separate module for each drone. my transmitter is capable of storing like 60+ individual models. why can i not have 60+ models and their individual registration numbers loaded into one single RID module that i can hot swap between models? hell im a small time hobbyist and even i have 5 different models that are flight worthy atm. i cant afford to buy 5 RID modules just so i can continue to fly the drones i already have
I just bought a used dji avata on marketplace. I flew it around a field near my house up to 200m altitude in suburban area. I live in the city/suburban area. I later googled limit is like 120m. I don't have any license etc. Do you think the dji reported me and will I get a ticket?
I guess the FAA just looks the other way with all these RC model flight review videos on TH-cam obviously they are not using remote ID probably not even 107.
How can you possibly know whether the pilot has a 107, or whether there's a remote ID module on the drone? All of the pro pilots I know have a 107. It's not that hard. More fundamentally, why do you care?
Guest says "RTFM"? How about RTF constitution, starting with amendment 10? These regulations are all illegal but the sheep just comply. Baaaaaaaa Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Only care if you do commercial work. Everyone else should fly like nothing is going on, just makes it cooler the more they crack down. Fuck the po-lice.
maybe the FAA should make sure there aren't commercial airliners with doors falling off instead of worrying about where I'm doing flippy floppies
I mean there are actual killers and dealers out there. But we all know the biggest crime against humanity is flippy floppies bro, cmon...
Floppy flippies are a much bigger danger, societaly, i would posit! 😮😅😊
Amen! Keep this comment at the top!
flippy is what floppies does. it certainly must be stop at all cost.

Good to hear there a bit of light on the horizon. We still need some exceptions, options or waivers for part 107 fights that can't comply.
rID should not be required under 1 kg unless engaged in 107 activities. The need for 107 licensing should have a minimum income requirement equal to or greater than a full time minimum wage income.

I shouldn't have to go to a private feild during business hours to avoid RID. The government should designate government owned land as a fria.
You can get the location you fly at designated as a FRIA. You don't need to go to a "private field". That's the entire point of the video.
Aren't they pretty much trying to ban drones from ALL government controlled land?
Sub 250's for rec can fly without registration or remote id too!

It's your choice if you want to do this. We just don't advise this. DaveM
incredible
Im disabled and cant drive to a FRIA location. Irs ridiculous
Watch. The. Video. The entire point of the video is that you can potentially get your home designated as a FRIA.
Then get a remote ID module - or follow JB's advice about creating a FRIA.
What about Indian reservations?
Has someone submitted an application to make GTI a permanent FRIA?
For 107 operations using FPV. Not long range!!! Specifically smaller short range Quads. We need some exception, as furtherance of a buisness could be as simple as honing skills. I hate to say it but with rapid changes in direction attitude and altitude as well as short flight time... maybe we just have a module on a post that just broadcasts continuously until we are done? I mean lets be realistic?? You could almost set up a broadcast area using more than one.
Or just ignore and have fun.
I just fly all my drones in Mexico to avoid remote ID
Jb you are better than misleading titles, shaking my head lol
This is the title I wrote. I think it accurately describes the information in the video.
I use fpv drones to manage my pasture FAA realize this years ago now I have a 90 percent clear sky no more low altitude air traffic damn noisy airplanes I fixed that real quick Homestead goat farm❤😂😂 lot of different aircraft flying super low so annoying so dangerous bust out that drone every single day and you'll make your own FRIA
the gubmnt wants to know and ask for individual to tell them about: your> car, trucks, house, pets, bills, rc planes, motorcycles, passport, licence, work, to grow crops at the house, if you sell, have a business, even for unemployment, collection, even if you give money away for free thus charity, (btw giving money away they consider it illegal).
kinda hand-wavy to just say dont try to become a CBO no? like why not? you guys clearly did it just fine. Would love some more information on this
You can try to become a CBO if you really want to, but the steps are difficult and the FAA is not keen to approve more CBO's. For example, to become a CBO, you must be a 501(c)(3). You must develop a safety plan for your members. You must "represent a community of operators". I don't think FPVFC is attempting to be exclusionary when they say, don't try to become a CBO. I think they're saying, if you want a FRIA, you don't have to become a CBO. That's not the intended path. The FPVFC didn't "do it just fine". It was hard, and they did it so you don't have to.
Yeah I think the warning is more so thousands of people don't go trying to do it just for the sake of sending a FRIA application. If you genuinely have an interest in a CBO then go for it.
apply a fria that covers the whole us
RID is absolutely absurd to me to be honest BUT the thing that blows my mind the most is that you have to have a separate RID module for every drone that you have. WHY??? what the actual fuck is the purpose of having a separate module for each drone. my transmitter is capable of storing like 60+ individual models. why can i not have 60+ models and their individual registration numbers loaded into one single RID module that i can hot swap between models? hell im a small time hobbyist and even i have 5 different models that are flight worthy atm. i cant afford to buy 5 RID modules just so i can continue to fly the drones i already have
Only 107 operations require unique module per drone.
I’m going to apply to make my butt FRIA. I’m carrying on an amaricain tradition
Awesome
I’m not registering my drones nor my guns.
if you disguise your drones as guns they may raise fewer eyebrows as they are subject to less regulation? /jk
I just bought a used dji avata on marketplace. I flew it around a field near my house up to 200m altitude in suburban area. I live in the city/suburban area. I later googled limit is like 120m. I don't have any license etc. Do you think the dji reported me and will I get a ticket?
14:55 for a sec I thought I was tripping
I guess the FAA just looks the other way with all these RC model flight review videos on TH-cam obviously they are not using remote ID probably not even 107.
How can you possibly know whether the pilot has a 107, or whether there's a remote ID module on the drone?
All of the pro pilots I know have a 107. It's not that hard.
More fundamentally, why do you care?
Of course his house is a fria you really think any of us would get one that easy yea right
Freedom over tyranny
realistically if you dont cause problems you wont have problems not using rid
You said it. If you don't cause problems. But accidents tend to occur sooner or later.
FRIA overload!
I have that shirt
I fly around my house and if i dont see you...oops 😊My bad. 😂
Guest says "RTFM"? How about RTF constitution, starting with amendment 10? These regulations are all illegal but the sheep just comply.
Baaaaaaaa
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Tell it to the courts.
I gave up on drones and RC planes because of Remote ID. Not gonna play.
what do you fly now?
Some laws are meant to be broken, just fly!
who cares just disregard remote id if you are not causing issues they will not go after you
If they are approving this no if ands or buts then there is no point of these and no reason to apply for one.
I dont want to associate with the AMA, and the government can't require me to.
Correct. Which is why this video is explaining how you can contact the FPVFC to get your home or park where you normally fly declared as a FRIA.
Jumping through hoops is for circus animals. Isn't it illegal to drive 10 mph on a freeway? How about during rush hour?
Only care if you do commercial work. Everyone else should fly like nothing is going on, just makes it cooler the more they crack down. Fuck the po-lice.
Register all of North America as a freedom zone.
Fly Recreationally In America?!
;-P
I only fly in "mexico"
Unless of course you are doing commercial work... like you are :)
Gov & convid destroyed fpv. With regulations, Remote I.D and rising cost of parts, some nearly 50% more...I really fear for the hobby...😢
Enforcing RID through TH-cam videos sounds exhausting and highly impractical.
Free men don’t ask!! F the FAA
How about the FAA bureaucrats got tired of their ears being amputated and started acting reasonable!!!
