FAA

On December 28, 2020 the FAA issued its final rule on Remote ID for all RC planes, drones and helicopters weighing more than 250 grams ready to fly. Unless you are flying at a flying site under the umbrella of a community-based organization or educational institution, such as Tailspinners Field, you will be required to have a broadcast module installed on your aircraft by September 16, 2023 and you will be required to register with the FAA every three years. These modules are expected to cost between $20 and $50 and will be built into ARFs starting this year. Modules for existing aircraft will be available soon, and a module will be able to be used on more than one aircraft. It is our opinion that this rule is very different and much less restrictive from the proposed rule from last year. More information will be available later.
