Most of my model aircraft are home built wooden planes with nitro burning engines.They have no cameras on board, no GPS, no geofencing, no transponders, etc. I also enjoy helicopters and also have no cameras, GPS, etc. The one and only drone I have is about 1 year old. It's has cameras, GPS, built in stabilization, downling to a view screen, telelmetry, etc. There is one thing all these devices have in common. They are never going to carry a remote id or identification system on board. At least, not as long I I can help it.

You made a very strong point here. There is no reason for the general public to locate pilots via remote ID. Being in Chicago, theft is always an issue I’m concerned about as well. Keep producing great content.

To me, using my drone is like using a smartphone. I never point my camera at strangers and if someone walks into my field of vission, I clearly lower the camera so they see I am not taking pictures of them. But way too many drone flyers simply ignored these rules. Flying over private property, filming people, ignoring privacy standards.

I don't think your neighbors should have the right to track it irregardless.

The FAA’s *stated* purpose might have been safety at one point, but they exceeded that when Part 336 was revoked and they started creating regulations for uncrewed recreational aircraft. The implementation of RID has exposed their only remaining purpose, which is asset protection for the commercial drone industry. The asset in this case being the low-level airspace they want us regulated out of. Even if there was a quantifiable safety issue with recreational uncrewed aircraft (there isn’t), no crewed aircraft will carry the equipment necessary to detect and avoid RID-equipped ones, so any claim that it could benefit the safety of crewed aircraft is pure gaslighting. This is a simple case of investment speculators using monetary influence to alter the regulatory landscape to favor their economic conditions, at the expense of hobbyists, who form a significant source of our highly endangered aviation workforce. It’s a short-sighted strategy doomed to failure, and despite the fact that our government allows it, that doesn’t make it right. The only responsible reaction to unjust laws is peaceful, safe noncompliance. Continue to fly safely. Respect others’ property and person. And disregard this foolish nonsense until the reality that we present no danger and never have inevitably crushes this garbage legislation under its own unenforceable weight.

Paul, while I agree with your thoughts of not broadcasting pilot location publicly, I don't know that the idea of an emergency situation is a legitimate argument. From the FAA discussion notes on 107.21, they specifically note that if the "emergency" is foreseen before the flight takes place, that doesn't count. "Additionally, because part 107 will allow a deviation only during an in-flight emergency, this deviation cannot be taken for situations that were expected or foreseen prior to the takeoff of the small unmanned aircraft. If a remote pilot in command expects or foresees an emergency situation prior to aircraft takeoff, then the remote pilot in command must delay or cancel takeoff or otherwise alter the parameters of the operation to the extent necessary to ensure full compliance with part 107." Additionally, you would need to be prepared to report it: "(b) Each remote pilot in command who deviates from a rule under paragraph (a) of this section must, upon request of the Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator."

This is a real concern. If a drone is being flown, any distraction can cause a significant accident. It's dangerous to show the pilot's position.

Might be hard to support. I suspect the FAA differentiates an actual emergency from the presumption of emergency possibilities.

half a mile is easy to find the pilot in an open field, but not in a developed area.

Great points. Here’s something I thought of while watching the video. Imagine I’m outside of the city limits. I’m filming a beautiful stream for a personal video project. Some criminal, who’s monitoring my position, decides he wants to steal my $12,000 drone, and all my other $1000’s of dollars worth of camera gear. I’m alone, broadcasting my position with potentially 1000’s of dollars with the gear. Ugh! Imagine, if when you went to your bank, the bank broadcast your position and the information about your withdrawal. Every single person, or at least the majority of drone pilots broadcasting their position, have at least $1000 worth the gear just by proxy. Seems like remote ID could potentially be a map for criminals seeking to obtain easily fenced goods. And this all goes to your point… I don’t mind broadcasting my information to authorities, I do mind telling potentially dangerous people, “hey, here I am flying my super expensive drone, come take it from me”.

Thanks for speaking out for the hobby! As long as the pilots position is not shared, it is OK, else, no way!

I’m in the same boat with you. I had a few incounters with some drone hater’s and I was in my own space away from people and was approached and was told they wanted to shoot my drone down.

Here here! I could not have said it better, avoid an emergency by not putting ourselves in one. Thank you for standing up for are rights and this wrongful law.

Exactly why I maintain my older drones. Some are as old as 8-9 years. They remain in my control and are untraceable.

Only broadcasting the drone's position sounds like a better option, but they will still be able to determine the pilot's position when the drone takes off or lands at the home point, so if I'm patient enough to wait for the battery to be swopped, I will see where the pilot's location is. I do not know how security with drones are done in USA, but in South Africa, a pilot's position should be the most difficult part to figure out, otherwise, you WILL run into trouble with criminals.

Yes, completely agree! 💯 It shouldn’t matter where a pilots location is to the public (unless it’s inside a plane of course). I’ve never been physically assaulted, but have been threatened, along with my drone being threatened of being shot down (until I let them know about the US federal penalties if they want to go that route).

Great idea and so true. Question, for a Phantom 4 V2, since it was built way before remote idea and it has no way to broadcast the signal. And no drone manufacturers are making modeled to adapt the drone. How can I even comply with the rules and am I allowed to fly the drone after September?

As of yesterday DJI even commented to users that they will have a firmware upgrade on phantoms to comply. Albiet, we do not recommend adding anything to your drone. Some people say o its on 32 grams,, sure but that 32 grams can impact the CG and Drag coefficient to cause potentially serious problems in flight. We're anti-broadcast modules. When so many drone pilots don't even want to take their 107 or comply with the law, how does an extra step make compliance easier?

Safety of flight is paramount. The drone controller info should only be available to LE agencies. That’s the way it works with vehicle tags. Needs to be the same with drones. Perhaps the drone community should start another writing campaign to not only the FAA but their Congress people, the White House, and even local and state governments. Apparently 57,000 letters weren’t enough originally. I personally don’t want to wait to read about a dead drone pilot.

I agree 100%. The only way they will learn is that there will be lots of sue cases against the government when innocent people get into the trouble due to broadcasting the remarks publically. It's wise to have the access to the law enforcement officers and any public has such concern about any crown they see flying and feel any concern then they can always call the law enforcement officers to complain. And take the legal actions if necessary.

But you also must have all law enforcement trained in what pilots can and can't do, because most of the officers I have talked to about drones have no idea what the laws/rules are that pertain to drones.

Got news for u, license plate info is readily available if one knows where to look for it. I agree I should NOT allow my position be publicly posted. It will lead to a gun battle in the end and at that point the FAA should be held accountable for any murder or or assault on an individual.

That's great and important info. Does this (GPS deactivation) prevent my home point from being updated when I move away from the original take-off point?

I’m thrilled to hear someone actually talk about constitutional rights of drone pilots. Like an automobile license plate, law enforcement has access to who we are, and obviously where we are. Most of us are fine with that. The notion that the public can pinpoint us and ID our location, i.e., be empowered to track us down is an invitation to conflict, and unnecessary.

I am upgrading to the RC Pro soon. What features to I loose if I turn off the GPS?

This is a very novel idea. During any flight, a pilot can "deviate" from a rule if he sincerely believes the safety of his drone flight is in jeopardy. Brilliant!

That's part 91. If drones were part 91, you could deviate *to the minimum extent necessary to land safely*. Meaning if you haven't taken off yet, your legal option is to simply not fly.

100% right, no need to the public to know. In Brazil we are free to fly as leisure and with basic authorization from DECEA, for commercial flights. Hope that the authorities in US respect a bit of the pilots privacy. Top explanation Paul

Turn off the GPS on your remote, would that affect your homepoint in the event you need to use the RTH? Im a newbie to drones my reason asking..

No, any drone used for Part 107 purposes is required to be registered as such and also have Remote ID enabled. No exceptions in this scenario. Your only option is to fly a sub-250 gram drone and hope you don't get flagged. But if you are flagged, I presume that the FAA will be disposed to treating a Part 107 flyer masquerading as a recreational flyer while executing commercial flights much more harshly than a non-certified flyer who could, at least, argue he or she just made a mistake.

Might want to consider the fact that SOME people also carry concealled while they are flying

Yeah I do because of theft concerns/personal protection

Couldn’t agree more. You’re EXACTLY RIGHT. There’s NO ‘practical’ REAL reason that the PUBLIC should know the operator or pilot’s position be known.

I feel the same way. I have no issues with RID except for the Control Station issue. There’s no reason that the General Public should be able to access that information. I’m curious about Dynamic Homepoint. In theory, couldn’t we just launch, change locations, fly, and then reset the homepoint? Sure, it could cause issues if you lose signal, and have your Drone set to automatically RTH, but, I usually set mine to hover, and simply move closer to reestablish my signal, in those situations.

A question- he said we can turn the GPS off on our RC pro controller? How does that affect the flying or communication between the controller and the drum? And where do you do that? I guess that’s two questions…

If using the RCN1 controller with a mobile device. Could i just take off the GPS on that device?

Great comments. Broadcasting position of the drone to government officials only and not the public is an excellent idea! I am all in for that. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this video as it is a major concern for many drone owners/operators. I DO NOT agree with the need for Remote ID considering that we fly below 400 feet (lower altitudes most all of the time and in certain restrictions and because of geofencing we can't fly anywhere near an airport, helipad, hospital. If we are restricted by geofencing, the law, our education of the hobby then why should my drones location or my location be broadcasted? It shouldn't. I have been cussed out on my own property while flying, told aggressively thank I didn't no the law (which I do and it was a clean/lawful flight), threatened on public property, etc. If we were allowed to fly the same altitudes as other aircraft and near airports then I get it. But not when we are already restricted to the point that many people have left the hobby and/or decided not to take up the hobby when they found out how restricted it can be and how much trouble it is to fly and considering the very high priced citations. I have 3 DJI drones and 2 FPV air planes. Only one DJI drone is able to broadcast the Remote ID info and I will not be adding the system to any other aircraft I own due a need for my personal safety. Rant complete.

Gentlemen, since a DJI mini 2 is light enough to not require registration at all, and the FAA site says only drones that require registration require an ID module, may I assume that a mini 2 does not require an ID module? Thank you in advance.

@MysticalDragon73

Жыл бұрын

Yes IF flown recreationally ONLY, sub 250gram drones do not need remote id. HOWEVER if the intent of your flight is anything other than recreational flying, then you need remote ID regardless of weight. This is why I sold my mini 2 because I fly under part 107 alot.

I tried to identify the penalty for not complying first but I am unable to find anything about that. I agree 100% and expect our peers to be experiencing more violence starting Sept. 24 I have personally worked with teams that like you said had drones shot shot out of the sky in CA working for a power company and also another pilot while in the city of Chicago was held up at gun point to steal his drone. We must find a way around this non-sense, so for now I see that drones using after market modules for remote ID do not broadcast ground station area but also must stay within VLOS so I guess they could easily locate the ground station anyway.

Precisely the same mechanism that prevents Tesla from bricking your car if they decide to be displeased with you.

I like the sentiment here, but your theory (and that's all it is) is built on matchsticks. The regulation you site says, "...in an emergency..." It does not say, in a POSSIBLE emergency. Comparing this to manned flight, I can't choose to not comply with a regulation just because I *think" an emergency might come up. I *might" run out of fuel. My engine "might" quite on me. No. It has to be an actual emergency which I need to declare. THEN, assuming I survive, I'll be questioned by the FAA, NTSB, etc. What you're doing here is not telling drone pilots how to legally fly without RID, you're telling them to test the system. It's not like the FAA is going to say, "OK, I see your point...someone MIGHT have hassled you. Carry on." That is NOT going to happen.

You are correct Sir! It is not necessary for the public at large to know my position. Unfortunately, politicians are so out of touch with everyday Americans that they are basically obsolete. but that is another topic. Thank you for all you do!

Really surprised that a teaching company is spreading misinformation, since Part 91 (What the information is cited from) doesn't apply to Part 107 operations. It's probably how you guys lost the ability to be a TRUST test provider.

How do you turn off the GPS on your remote? I have the RC2.

All of my quads are under 250g and I only fly recreationally so that's how I comply. If you consider a sub 250 quad then it's a hobby. I have freestyle, long range, and whoops with and without GPS. Personally, I like artificial limits on technology because it spurs innovation and maximizing resources. The Pebble Watch, Raspberry Pi's, 1kilobyte coding contests... heck, even Betaflight itself is an exercise in getting the most out of a tiny computer chip. Regardless, I agree with your closing statement that the general public doesn't need to get my personal info when I'm not doing anything wrong. Remote ID was initially conceptualized as an ad hoc broadcast. Like I go for a fly and the drone broadcasts my flight for a bit and it then shuts down. Everything goes away. One important thing I noticed was the in the FAA's intro video recently released is that they gave an example of Danny flying at a baseball field. Someone reports it to the cops, the cops report it to the FAA, the FAA has the FBI pull up historical flight data that a 3rd party, private company has collected in an area to see that Danny always goes there to fly... What? Now my 5 years of flying is stored in a private company so that the govt can inspect me whenever.

Great video, I believe the focus should stay on Pilot Safety with emphasis on only allowing the access to Pilot location for Law Enforcement. Most pilots will be flying in public somewhere already so the case for privacy violation is very weak.

I have concerns about the public being handed my location as well. BUT, your example cites 14 CFR Part 91 and states in part "In an emergency requiring immediate action...". I would submit to you that no such emergency exists until after you detect a threat, because within the course of your run-of-the mill everyday shoot, there won't be an emergency situation which requires immediate action. You can't put the legal cart before the horse. It's like mitigating the risk of a flyway by not launching. Besides, we fly under Part 107 anyway, not Part 91. Can you pull a similar exemption but from Part 107?

Can anyone recommend best forums or websites for DJI drone hacks?

I saw where one guy was showing how certain RemoteID boxes can’t be found by apps on a phone. Just avoiding that would help to not be found by those who wish to accost drone flyers to steal the drone.

Situational awareness becomes a whole lot bigger and more complicated in September.... unfortunately. Focus should really be on the aircraft and the task at hand.

The FAA has communicated that the pilot-location part of RemoteID wasn’t their idea, it was a requirement from DHS and is considered a National Security issue. There will be no negotiation on this matter, the opinion of drone pilots or the general public are not a factor in this regulation. You aren’t picking a fight with the FAA, a generally well behaved regulatory agency. You are picking a fight with DHS. They will Waco you before they compromise.

@jeffellis2222

It still doesn’t make sense. It is totally possible to encrypt the broadcast and only allow law enforcement to see our position. I fail to see how that could be a national security issue if authorized law, enforcement or security agencies can see it there’s no justification for broadcasting it publicly.

When a law is extended to this degree, then pilots could be forced into non compliance. Could a pilot as a result be any worst off also not complying to publish drone position or even registering the drone ? The absolute effect would then be to reduce, as said personal safety and then also aviation safety.

will the FAA be able to actually shut off our rc planes in flight ?

Agreed no crap from me! lol

Normal sUAS operation won't threaten fixed wing manned aircraft, regardless of the operation of an electronic or visible beacon. Drones are restricted to operating below 400 feet AGL; fixed wing manned aircraft are restricted to operating above 500 feet AGL. They could be right on top of each other without ever meeting, in normal operation. I deduce from this that Remote ID has nothing directly to do with avoiding collisions. It is, instead, about tracking down responsible parties after something goes contrary to the way the authorities want them to go.

The best solution hands down It's exactly as a safety first in the workplace and for some like yourself drones are your work Cheers so much i hope it gets sorted asap worldwide 😊❤

Here in TX we now have Constitutional Carry(concealed or open).

Currently we are pushing for a 1kg+ requirement for registration/remote id. The re-authorization act 2023 is where we are pushing back on FAA in June 2023. Prior to re-authorization act of 2018 and for 50 years the weight required to register a drone was 50+ pounds. So 1KG is reasonable and 250g is tyranny.

I wonder if a suit could be filed against the government if I'm assaulted or harassed as a result of my location being brodcasted against my will 🤔...I mean,it's the last thing I'd want to do,but I'm sure I won't be the first or last to think of this.I wonder if they thought of this as well.

I think a law suit against the government would be unviable, however, a lawsuit against the publisher of an app that knowingly provided the information that led to real injury would be a viable thing. Google and Apple have hugely deep pockets. After one or two incidents and lawsuits, things would change. Either the app would provide limited information or it would disappear from their catalogues.

As someone who has been “cased” by a known bad guy I want to know an ID of someone loitering over my property. If it is the functional equivalent of a license plate I’m happy. I don’t want to confront the operator, but I do want to be able to provide a “license plate” if I feel I need to call 911.

I have a Air 2S. about 4 months ago from the time of this message, i got a brief message on my screen that said "Remote ID" and I lost signal for about 10 seconds. I wasnt even 1000ft away. I think that remote ID is good idea in a way, but not agree for public to have access to the pilots position. neither to one to lose signal if they target your drones location on remote id.
