The AMA thought that by going along, the FAA would keep its grubby mits off of AMA club fields, go after the non club flyers and force them into AMA clubs. The FAA was playing the long game by dividing and conquering. By temporarily diverting the potential unified wrath of the AMA and the non club modelers, the FAA will eventually take all the marbles.

Not complying. Not putting a module on my freestyle drone that has no room on the frame and gives me 5 minute flight times. Not complying to an adminstration that puts out propaganda videos demonizing drone pilots.

Don: The way all FAA regs work is the assumption is that pilots follow them. With a full scale airplane (Cessna to B-777), and FAA Inspector can at any time do a "ramp check" to see that you have your license with you and a current medical. Believe it or not, pilots get busted on this. For drones, no one will likely ever check. But, if something goes wrong (crash, etc.) the FAA can and will check all compliance issues. Tim

I don't think there well be any frais approved...forcing us to rid to fly at our community base club fields....

I got the same email and renewed just the other day. I have two planes over the weight threshold, an FMS Easy Trainer 1280 and FMS Red Dragon. I listed those but checked the box for no remote ID. I suppose the assumption will be that they will be flown at a FRIA. Maybe yes and maybe no, but I simply don't plan to equip these cheap planes with remote ID. I have plenty of other planes under 250 grams. And I'll probably use the other two in my normal flight area, even after the deadline. My concession will be to get authorization via B4UFLY. That's as far as I intend to go.

Tim, please separate drones into quad/hex/octo copters and VLOS R/C airplanes. You keep referencing drones, but mean r/c airplanes flown from an AMA sanctioned airfield. To my knowledge there have not been any VLOS r/c airplanes produced that have RID installed. In three years, the Horizon Hobbies VLOS R/C airplanes will be equipped as they are in June 2023. The FAA site listing approved drones only references quad/hex/octo copters. Why is that? Is Horizon Hobbies going to be forced to provide RID in all VLOS R/C aircraft they sell? Remember, if installed, it must be used!!

Agree with KB below. The FAA looks more at wether the aircraft is manned or unmanned (to allow for see and avoid). If unmanned, they really do not care if a drone or fixed wing or helicopter. I'd say about 100% of the airspace violations are the quads, just the way it is as they are looking to take pictures or videos. I do think the Spektrums of the world will eventually incorporate some sort of RID in their "normal" systems. We'll see! Tim

One of my big concerns with the FAA is the issue of fines. In order to operate legally, we have to register with the FAA. I feel that violators of the FAA laws (when they become constitutionally created) should result in, first the temporary or permanent revocation of the registration which gives us the right to operate. Only if someone insist on operating without a valid registration should those huge fines enter consideration. No one should have to fly legally while having those ridiculous fines hanging over one's head. In my opinion, those fines are intended to dampen our interest in this hobby. NOTE: I was not able to view this video because of other commitments, so this issue may well be already on your minds.

You make it appear as if there are drones flying over airports the whole time. Although I can imagine 'kids' finding it interesting to film airplanes with their drone, very few actually do. So I wonder how many close calls you actually had and how often you had to steer around? It could not have been an DJI drone. They have build-in maps with no-fly zones. I just don't think registration and Remote ID will decrease the number of 'incidents'. Unless it is intended to get rid of all consumer drones much as possible. In that case the sky will be clear for 25 kilo pizza delivering drones. Hopefully pizzas will have Remote ID in the future and never fly away. It may sound strange, but those 'terrorist' drones you saw may actually prevent far more dangerous commercial UAV accidents. But you're right. Don't fly your drone on the airport. I'm in a no-fly zone. I can fly my drone 100% safe within the no-fly zone, and in a very dangerous way following all the laws and rules outside the zone where it is legal. In the end it is the person flying the drone who has to use his eyes and brains. At least drones don't kill 1.3 million people every year globally like cars.
