✳️ UAV Coach provides industry-leading training, education, and news for professionals and hobbyists in the drone industry. We offer online and in-person training — over 50,000 people have used our flagship training course, Drone Pilot Ground School, to pass the FAA Part 107 remote pilot certification exam. And we've delivered hands-on flight training to more than 2,000+ new drone pilots. Our mission is to help push the drone industry forward by sharing years of knowledge to help drone pilots be safe and smart operators.

The first time some Karen attacks a drone pilot and that pilot sues the app company, the pilot position will probably be removed from the civilian apps. I have no issue with the pilots who give us all a bad name being held accountable, but I also don't want idiots using the app to harass pilots. The FAA will have to assist in prosecuting anyone who causes a crash or shoots at drones. If our drones are "real aircraft, " then we need the protections not just the liabilities.

If the FAA is relying on you to notify them your drone is ID compliant, then that tells me the FAA has yet to figure out how they are going to enforce mandatory ID.

My 4 drones are non-compliant. On September 16th they will be non-compliant. Next year they will be non-compliant. Five years from now they will be non-compliant.

Problem is it should only transmit a plate number, the general public has no need or right to any other info.

[cfdfirefighter]

Much of a negative impact… yet. But allowing them to even start and complying is more steps towards complete control. As an American we have it in our DNA to fight things like this.

I've been flying drones for several years and before that airplanes for about 20, my father has been flying since the 70's... Neither of us are happy about this remote ID crap.. My father will probably never fly again and he's retired air force. Dude loves flying, has a million planes/drones/helicopers but he's out now. And we play by the rules, never getting close to the 400ft cap, always within line of sight, even when flying FPV, never above people or anything that could be damaged, just open fields for the most part. I'm gonna keep flying, but I'll never put a remote id on anything. I've already got my FAA registration number on everything, and now I think I'll be removing it all. I'll set my stuff up for long range and fly 3 miles away to do my thing. Good luck catching me FAA. This is over stepping big time.

Understanding and acknowledging this “rule” is only going to decrease your freedom of flight by tracking your movement.

Same here in NY with the police. Friends in the departments all told me they have no information on remote ID. One is detective and in an officer. I didn’t go as far as you did, but they asked around.

[JDSchuitemaker]

I am not going to comply with RemoteID, whenever it becomes required in the EU. However, I do have an ADSB receiver with me whenever I throw my aircraft in the air.

[brovamoveson]

Thank you sir for explaining what remote id means….as you can probably tell, I am a beginner. I couldn’t have hoped for a better video explaining the issue. You were incredible and quite clear. Thank you again!

[savedemperor]

Just because it will be required doesn't mean someone has to follow these tyrannical rule 😂

[yodaiam]

I think the app writers should get sued if they show the pilot location and the pilot gets mugged. They and the FAA are putting people at risk.

[jimjernigan]

As a private pilot (and hobby drone flyer) I’m wondering what is the relationship between Remote ID and the ADS-B system. I would hope they are one and the same. That way planes can spot drone threats and drones could show up in public databases like ADS-B Exchange or FlightAware. Participation in ADSB would greatly improve pilot awareness of drone threats in the area. (If they are using ADS-B in information).

[josephs]

How much y'all wanna bet that in 10 - 15 years remote ID will have morphed into also including a copy of the video stream and the ability to take control over the aircraft.

[CharlesSnyder]

Darn it! My Mavic Pro Platinum isn't compliant. Glad I saw this video, helped me figure that out. Thanks!

[mushroomman]

I was planning to get the part 107 but with all this new nonsense with changes I have a feeling its not going to be fun anymore. Im starting to rethink just not getting it.

[hannahsarradet]

This was great and super informative! Love the relay of information from your experience with the police department. That gives such a better idea of where law enforcement really is with this. Keep these videos coming! I like the format

[jared]

Being required to broadcast pilot location to the general public is abusive and an invasion of our rights and privacy. This needs to be challenged through the proper legal channels when it goes live. This will open pilots up to unnecessary harassment and danger. FAA is reaching pretty far with this bs, and i fail to even see the benefits.

[ghettorecording]

oldg;uyFPV says; No one has a right, especially a government agency, whether in public or not, to force a citizen to wave their constitutionally protected rights (4th, 5th, 6th Amendments) and submit to, without probable cause and/ or a 4th Amendment warrant, government tracking, surveillance, and control of a citizens private movements while enjoying a hobby, all while collecting and recording evidence that can, and will be used against a citizen in any FAA prosecution against them. I’m sorry, but It doesn’t get more unconstitutional than that!

military aircraft can use the remote id, , can see the drones, , sorta like the transponder on normal aircraft. may help see aircraft in the area of operations..
