Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) & REMOTE ID
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
If you own a drone, an Unmanned Aircraft, and fly for commercial, recreational, or public entities, there are rules in place that must be followed. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is committed to providing the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. The agency has executed a plan for the safe operation of Unmanned Aircraft in the National Airspace System.
For more information please see the following resources:
- Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
- Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA)
- AOPA Best Practices
- Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR)
- Kitthawk App (LAANC Access)
If you have a general question, comment, or complaint about an Unmanned Aircraft, please contact the FAA via email at UAShelp@faa.gov or call 844-FLY-MY-UAS. Additional information is available at www.faa.gov/uas. Follow @FAADroneZone on Facebook and Twitter for the latest FAA drone news, safety tips, and educational information.
Do I have to fly with Remote ID?
Remote ID applies to drones which are required to be registered or have been registered with the FAA, including those flown for recreation, business, or public safety, and drones that are foreign-registered.
Operators who do not comply after March 16, 2024 could face fines and suspension or revocation of their drone pilot certificates. Click link for March 15, 2024 press release from FAA.
Why is Remote ID necessary?
Remote ID is necessary to ensure the safety and security of the national airspace system by distinguishing compliant airspace users from those potentially posing a safety or security risk. Remote ID also helps to lay the foundation for routine advanced operations such as package delivery and flying beyond visual line of sight.
What do I need to do?
There are three ways to be Remote ID ready:
- Operate a Standard Remote ID Drone – a drone produced with built-in Remote ID broadcast capabilities; or
- Operate a Drone with a Remote ID Broadcast Module – a device with Remote ID broadcast capabilities that can be attached to a drone; or
- Operate at an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA) – areas where drones without Remote ID broadcast capabilities can operate.
How do I know if my drone or broadcast module is Remote ID ready?
- Go to the FAA UAS Declaration of Compliance website
- Click on “View Public DOC List”
- Filter by “RID”
- Search for your drone or broadcast module
My drone or broadcast module broadcasts Remote ID but is not on the Public DOC List, am I Remote ID ready?
No, even if advertised as “Remote ID ready” or uses other verbiage, only drones or broadcast modules listed on the FAA DOC are considered to be in compliance with the rule. Operators who do not comply after March 16, 2024 could face fines and suspension or revocation of their drone pilot certificates.
Do I need to update my drone’s registration with Remote ID information?
If your drone or broadcast module is listed on the public DOC list, you need to register or update your existing drone registration through FAADroneZone to include the standard Remote ID drone or Remote ID broadcast module serial number. The Remote ID serial number is not the same as your drone’s serial number. Drone owners should check with their manufacturer for additional information.
Since recreational pilots only need to register once and can apply that registration number to multiple aircraft, they can list one Remote ID broadcast module serial number and move the broadcast module from drone to drone as long as it is listed on the same registration.
Part 107 pilots need to register each drone individually. Therefore, each drone must have its own Standard Remote ID or Remote ID broadcast module serial number.
Visit our Remote ID webpage to learn more about adding a Remote ID serial number to your drone’s registration.
