A car licence plate doesn't transmit your location, altitude, or home address to anyone with a phone App (whether they can visually see your car or not). Why not be honest and call it what it is - a Ankle monitor for innocent people.
I agree with you 100% but I also understand why the FAA is doing this. Because there are going to be dumb fucks out there doing wild shit with drones because they know they can get away with it. I've been a certified drone pilot for about 3 years now and trust me, I travel throughout the continental U.S. (lower 48s) for work with my drones, and I've seen so many different people doing illegal things with drones such as flying in places they're not supposed to, purposely bothering the wild life, literally spying/stalking people with drones, flying drones above 400ft getting into manned aircraft airspace just for the fuck of it. I hate the idea of remote ID as well, but there's gotta be a way to stop these people from ruining it for the rest of us by doing all the stupid stuff I mentioned with drones.
its amazing how many people we have in our federal government with absolutely nothing to do. I would rather pay them to do nothing than to go around looking for things to do. We do not need a bunch of non elected beurocrats looking for things to do. sitting around thinking up the most opressive things to do, so they can feel like they have authority and a purpose, to escape the truth that they are useless, utterly pathetic, and disposable.
So can someone from the FAA please explain how all this relatest to a 10 year-old kid flying a 250g RC model of a Piper Cub in the local schoolground? Why does *that* craft require Remote ID when, even with the most vivid imagination, it's hard to see how it poses a threat to safety or security? Remote ID is perfectly understandable in the context of big, heavy potentially very dangerous commercial drones but how can it be justified for small RC model aircraft? And what about gliders such as those flown from slopes in a breeze... how, given the fact that they're very much limited to operation within a hundred yards or so of the hill on which they're flown and often spend most of their time hugging the ridge-line, do these craft pose such a threat that they must have Remote ID fitted? Remote ID, as implemented, is a blunt instrument and it is this broad-brush approach that will result in very high levels of noncompliance from people who are smart enough to realize that there is absolutely no justification for its use in very many of the situations that hobbyists find themselves flying in. Also, the utter lack of engagement with that part of the hobby community that has voiced their concerns will only result in less compliance with the FAA's diktats on this matter.
Also, 95% of where I fly is out of cell range. How will it transmit? And if it uses radio, how will it power it? I will lose 25% of my battery just to this ID.
Sound's like its just about them stealing money from people to pad thier pensions they shouldnt have. Basically like how police went from protecting the people and our rights to becoming tickets writers for profit.
"Remote ID is perfectly understandable in the context of big, heavy potentially very dangerous commercial drones..." Right here. YOU lost the plot. If the rule doesnt make sense it doesnt make sense in any context. Ceding ground is how we got here in the first place.
Im sure they wont mind that theyll just hired some un-american nerds to annoy and steal money from people. They have nothing to loose and constant income to gain. The entire corrupt government has become like this and it wont stop until the people stop it.
The FAA is over stepping. First off with their "commercial" requirements and what THEY think is commercial. Sorry but flying for my RU-vid channel is not working commercially EVEN if I make money on the channel which I am not. The RID requirement on all drones made prior to the rule is wrong and a costly burden to expect people to pay. Those units should have been grandfathered in. The NTSB do not require seat belts in cars that never were built with them and neither should the FAA. So nope not complying.
I'm excited about putting a remote ID module on my tiny whoop that weighs 29 grams while filming a band's music video, flying 8 feet off the ground. Doing so will prevent my tiny whoop from even taking off because it will be too heavy. I'll be doing my part to keep everyone out of harm's way. Safety first!
@@SunriseWaterMedia the ft ez id only weighs 10 grams. Obviously that's a lot for a 29 gram drone but that's really small. And they use a negligible amount of power even for tiny drones. It's not that big of a deal.
So when will ultralights, paramotors, and free flight need to have ADSB and/or RemoteID? Recreational RC pilots should not need it if it is not also required by ultralights, paramotors, and free flight models. Also, why does RC aircraft have different rules for when a flight is recreational vs commercial than any other type of aircraft?
FAA, I plan on complying if I get into this hobby. I do have to say this is one of the most stupid things I have come across. Meanwhile the US Government is giving Ukraine drones to literally kill people. Crazy world we live in.
Thank you for feeding into propaganda and sensationalizing things. "Most drones will be required to have Remote ID". No mention of those who will simply comply by staying sub 250g. And for the love of god, The recreation of FPV drones includes editing and sharing your flights on social media, It's a creative process and a part of the Hobby/Recreation. If I'm not being hired to make a video and I'm making if for my own creative enjoyment to share with my friends there is no reasonable person who would consider that commercial use. Get a clue and listed to the voices who will inspire the future of innovation rather than stomping us into the ground.
@@juanzamarripa3778 Drone jacked, you have a high end drone and your location is given to the wrong people and you are Jeopardized. End of you and story.
95% of drone pilots are not going to comply with this. Why should a pilot broadcast their control station location (where the pilot is standing) to the public? It just enables thieves to see where they can go steal a drone. Since anyone talking to a pilot while flying is a distraction and introduces danger, you can legally choose to deviate from the Remote ID broadcast requirement and turn off GPS. Until these locations are only shared with the FAA or law enforcement, no one is going to do this.
Its pretty clear the architects of RID for UAS are severely lacking in understanding of the RC Aircraft hobby and industry. Then there's the technology. They specify RID broadcasts must be compatible with smart phones using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Neither technology standard produces the range needed for effective RID. And what exactly happens when a UAS pilot is regularly exceeding the 400' ceiling for UAS? Now the signal won't even reach the ground directly below, much less any distance in any direction. Pretty useless even for its intended purpose.
Starting today the whole hobby of RC flying is kinda fucked, sounds fun. (edit, i feel this is going to make dji's Mini series of drones skyrocket in sells)
Massive revenue generating fines are what's coming from the FFA 🤷 I dont even bother flying my DJI mini 3 pro anymore cuz it's just not worth it.... Basically the only safe way to ensure not getting fined is to only fly your $1,300 drone in your backyard to film your kid's birthday party and hopefully you don't live close to any airports or it's useless there also.... Doesn't help you have people flying drones close to approaching aircraft while they're landing and then posting it on RU-vid thinking nobody's going to have a problem with it..... Leave the professional filming to the professionals with the licenses and authorization flying the $40,000 drones 🤷 .
It's a good thing all those birds over 250g have remote ID installed and only fly in FRIAs, or we'd have a real problem on our hands here. Good work, boys, keep it up!
Im confused on the “drone” regulation and hoping FAA can shed some light on questions. 1. When did the drone License Take Effect? 2. The FAA cannot make law, is this why they call it a regulation. 3. Is it reto active, meaning if I have video on youtube from 5 or more years ago when the license didn’t exist yet am I supposed to remove those videos even though they were done legally at the time? 4. If aircraft is less than 250 grams nothing is needed unless you’re trying to make money from it? Then you need part 107 license and registration? 5. What if im taking video of other people’s planes at an event or flying club. Im not the pilot and the planes aren’t mine? I would assume I don’t need a license. 6. What if I Velcro a camera on someone’s plane to record video, again not mine plane and im not the pilot? 7. You have to be at least 16 years old I believe to get the license. If so does this mean a kid that gets an rc plane or helicopter etc that weights over the 250 grams (which is almost all of them) cant legally fly it? 8. If a craft of less than 250 gram needs no license or registration unless your making money, doesn’t this mean the FAA is just trying get money out of people rather than a safety concern? I feel like this is a nightmare! Has the FAA become another US Government money hungry oppressive bureaucracy that creates a mine field of red tape as a means to create profit for themselves while suppressing the spirt and freedom of the people?
I still want to know why remote ID is required in class G, but ultralights have nothing, GA planes in class G are not required to have ADS B ? Sounds like propaganda to get compliance.
This is the most ridiculous rule I've ever heard. In Germany we're required to have insurance covering at least 2mil euros. That's useful if our RC plane hits someone. We don't need adsb because we're not flying a Styrofoam model plane anywhere where real aircraft should happen to be, 100ft above some field.
Dear FAA My question. How are you tracking all the drones in the air now ? Is there a system in place like an ATC for drones ? I mean unless that's happening I see even less value to all this nonsense that's been shoved down the throats of park flyers everywhere. Have you ever flown a sub 250g plane in any wind beyond a 1 on the Beaufort Scale ? You have done nothing but ruin the hobby we have been enjoying safely for decades...go ahead...track and require licensing for commercial interests so people know who to sue when the atrocity falls from the sky onto some unsuspecting citizens head. All put at great risk by your sage decision to allow drones over people and property.. Something we hobbyists avoided for the most part but ya'll know better...right ? 🙄Shame your lawyers couldn't stand up the the privacy invasion test and fell on the "In the name of national security" argument in the RDQ lawsuit.... 🙄🙄
I posted a video as an FPV pilot who is supportive of RID. It did not go well... The reasoning is solid, but the implementation (and costs) did not go as planned, with the consumer as the only entity who will suffer, and the tiny community of R/C and FPV pilots as a result feel cornered, never a good look for a Federally implemented set of restrictions, licensing, and costs. Worse still, it seems only a Chinese company, DJI, was able to roll out the tech without hiccups. Yet I still fight with you, (as a helicopter flies over my condo at less than 100', smack between Melbourne Airport and Patrick AFB!), as I just picked up my 107, registered my 30g HD tinywhoop, and my fleet of racing drones, planes, and DJI camera ships. In all, I'm out almost $400 to the Fed, a cycle that will repeat every 2/3 years for certification/licensure respectively. I expect the agency will get a hold of this eventually, or at least rebate those who comply? But if there's zero consequence for remote pilots, or GA pilots, why bother?
We might fly safely without the pilot location revealed in the app. That would be for Law enforcement and aviation securities. Things could happen to all pilot by drone haters think in that. FAA don't be part of Things that happend to a pilot for sharing their position.
Build your own analog drones people... Its much more difficult to ground your UAV running on analog, unless they want to disrupt A LOT more than just your drone...
There will be MASS non compliance, and there's nothing you can realistically do about it. And that's what you get for such an awful and overstepping plan. Driving a car is infinitely more dangerous in every way, but we don't have to broadcast all our information while driving. Remote ID is NOT a simple equivalent to a license plate.
The thing is, if mass non compliance happens well just get a ton of local governments telling us we can't take off anywhere. Not a fan of Remode ID, but the police showing up and taking your drone is worse
@@1RED1 I've asked LEO's in 3 different cities I fly at and NONE of them care unless a report is issued by a complainant. If karen calls they'll investigate but they don't have time to chase down drone flyers in parks particularly when it's the feds who would benefit financially via fines..not the locals..I promote mass non compliance and probably over 1/2 0f the people I know refuse to participate...I have to admit though...some went to the few available spots at traitor clubs (AMA)..some fly elsewhere incognito and some just plain gave up..good old US guvmint..never let a good time go without it being legislated out of existence...👎🏼
As a minor, I cannot afford to buy this, as many other people. Why should I buy this in the first place? the faa already has enough money. Why should we give more money? Why should we as the fpv and drone community buy this? We are not doing anything wrong, why should we buy a gps when people around us are aware of our presence, aware of our drones, and are fine with it? we are only flying 5-30 feet off the ground, we are not doing anything illegal, if we were, then you would hear/see people in jail, but nobody is, because NO BODY CARES ABOUT US!!!!(especially you) people dont care what we are doing, they are fine with it, if the police watch us in awe, and don't do anything, then why cant you? There is no reason that we dhould just buy a survelance tool when the police and other people are survelance tools, if they dont report us, then u leave us be! The fpv community is already dying, and theres nothing in place of it. COuntries with a lot of problems, they dont have remote id, why should we? Fpv is great for the stupid dumb aaah new generation, its good to get them outside while still playing video games(not me :D, i just love being outdoors :D) but we cant/they cant if we/they have to spend 50-200$ for extra survelance stuff. PLEASE JUST LEAVE US BE instead of worrying about a small, dying community worry about guns/drugs being illegally imported into the country "OOOhaoah We ArE alReDY doINg thAt KSDASDHBSJ" I CAN SEE????!!??? PLEASE STOP WITH THIS BULL SH*T and just leave us be ps. STOP BEING SO GREEDY!!!
Did you know that hundreds of people die every year playing sports like golf, football, etc? Why are we not regulating these dangerous sports? Many more people loose limbs while playing with fireworks they bought on the side of the highway from firework stands. On the other hand deaths from model aircraft like RC helicopters and RC airplanes are rare enough to make the news whenever one happens. Drones and model aircraft are completely different fundamentally and the communities that fly them couldn't be more different. It is so frustrating seeing model aircraft being regulated because a couple morons flew their $20 walmart drones someplace they shouldn't have. I shouldn't need to spend hundreds of dollars on electronic equipment to fly my airplanes.
Hey, federal government. Why is it necessary to regulate a recreational hobby to death that has caused few issues so far compared to gun ownership, that is killing tens of thousands each year? We kill drones with regulations, but we don't see the same level of regulation for items that ACTUALLY kill tens of thousands every year.
@@thedarkslide The Second Amendment, often referred to as the right to bear arms, is one of the ten amendments that form the Bill of Rights. It was ratified by the U.S. Congress in 1791. The text of the Second Amendment reads as follows: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The framers of the Bill of Rights adapted the wording of this amendment from nearly identical clauses in some of the original 13 state constitutions. During the Revolutionary War era, the term “militia” referred to groups of men who banded together to protect their communities, towns, colonies, and eventually states. These militias consisted of ordinary civilians using their own weapons to defend against threats. While the Second Amendment did not directly address the broader concern that the federal government had too much power, it did establish the principle that the government did not have the authority to disarm citizens. The term “arms” in the Second Amendment has been a subject of debate, with differing interpretations. Some argue that it protects the right of private individuals to keep and bear firearms, while others believe it protects a collective right exercised through formal militia units1. Interestingly, the Supreme Court’s Heller Decision in 2008 clarified that the term “arms” extends beyond just firearms. It encompasses all weapons that constitute “bearable arms,” which includes both offensive and defensive weapons. So, while guns are certainly part of this definition, it also includes other types of weaponry. The Court recognized that the term is quite broad and not limited solely to firearms23. In summary, the Second Amendment recognizes the right to bear arms, and this term encompasses more than just guns-it includes a wide range of weapons that can be used for offense or defense.
First of all, they must put a remote identification on all the weapons that are on the street so that they can be seen by the entire public. This is much more useful than applying remote identification to a drone.
Remote ID is nothing but a virtual means to Self Incriminate.. it does NOTHING to Deconflict with manned aircraft.. and increases safety ZERO Percent! FAA FAIL! (As far as the RC Hobby is concerned, there were exactly ZERO Problems!)
They have so many other things that do matter that should be taken care of. This is absolutely a joke. Why don’t they give us information on their names and addresses and see if they feel safe
I’ve been harassed to the point where I thought I might start packing a pistol a gun and I’m a felon. Yeah I’d be in so much trouble if I did that so I rely on law-enforcement for the most part to deal with the situation. They have lacked and have not done anything for me when I’ve had these altercations. In fact, and not took me serious and they said they don’t enforce federal law. I filed the right forms I’ve had altercations with the FAA I believe four there’s eight people I think or altercations sometimes there was 45 people at times surrounding it. that’s when remote ID was not visible and broadcast, it was still a thing my Mavic had remote ID law-enforcement will take your drone if some random person decides to shoot at it and that person shoots at 111 m high. I get away from that look for shooting start recording. I see him and he gets ready to shoot again. I turn my lights off, so he couldn’t see and he backed up and he didn’t shoot thank God cause he wouldn’t have hit it. I was 111 m high. That’s 350 foot. I was cooperative with law-enforcement and them and how to use a couple apps before you fly app to see you flying a drone. I also stated that they need to get a hold of the law-enforcement assistance program. I don’t believe they did four years because people damaged my drones and the cops have not done anything about it, so yeah it’s not worth it. People can just say what they want and do what they want to damage your devices repercussion these crazies come out of nowhere. These people need to get binoculars instead of trying to shoot a drone down you look and see what the cameras looking at cause it’s probably not even looking at what you even think deadly force is deadly force that bullets gonna come down once you fire it if you don’t hit the drone so people don’t don’t shoot drones some drones are registered and considered aircraft which makes them it makes it a federal a federal crime is shoot down a drone like that’s $3800. Someone spent of their hard money and if they’ve had five of them, they probably don’t want to be fucked with anymore, and have zero tolerance for imbeciles they wanna come out of nowhere talking about who that who that what are you doing? What don’t don’t we got people sleeping in our sheds and stuff there I’m not sleeping shed. I’m not doing nothing. You don’t question every car drives by don’t question my drone thank you drones under the federal government. Leave me alone. They know what it’s looking at so don’t don’t harass me excuse me. seems to be the best way to handle these situations always have something between you and somebody’s car. They could hit you when you’re doing something. You guys don’t fly stupid have cameras watching you while you’re flying have microphones recording while you’re flying so when you have an altercation and you’re the only one there except for five other individuals at the dead end, you never know how it’s gonna end. don’t get firearms involved. That’s not cool. Deadly force is not needed drone altercation. Happen and if your helping yourself a member of the public with a guy that’s trying to get the shot and he’s got one battery left or only has one battery. You don’t know what you’re messing up so leave the man alone or woman alone wait for them to land at 50meters and ask to see what they was just recording with a nice manner, their professionals, but you can’t slam or slide to stop with your vehicle and almost hit the person that’s flying the barriers for your protection heads up drone pilots don’t get discouraged. DJI loves your money. DJI needs to make a plane some kind of glider or something I don’t know, but fixed wing😊
Wrong on so many levels. Sad to see and feel the death of citizen liberties and recreation. Safety is not increased with any of this. All about $. Disgraceful.
urghh more red tape which will strangle law abiding pilots. Is there an app I can use to report these wannabe buck Rodgers piloting aircraft close to my house in a ridiculous, DANGEROUS maneuvers? If there are more restrictions needed, maybe give these pilots refreshers on how to fly SAFELY over populated areas!
