3 Ways to (Legally) Beat Remote ID!!

There are three easy ways to be fully compliant with Remote ID and not have to do anything with modules or specialized electronics. I will cover all of this in this video.

Remote ID (identification) is the new ruling from the FAA, effective on Sept 16, 2023, that requires all radio controlled aircraft (drones, fixed wing and helicopters) to have a remote ID capability either built in from the manufacturer, or applied using a separate module. This will allow law enforcement agencies to know where a RC model or drone is located (altitude, airspeed and coordinates) as well as the take off location.

Remote ID is a brand new requirement (this video is filmed in Feb 2023), and there are a lot of concerns on the specifics of Remote ID, in particular the knowledge of the pilot's takeoff location.

In this video, I will go over three ways to "beat" Remote ID, in that you can fly just as you have been in years past without any concern for the need or application of Remote ID electronics.

These methods are to:

1. Fly in an FAA Recognized Identification Area (FRIA)
2. Fly a model weighing less than 250 grams
3. Fly your RC model indoors

There is still a lot of work that needs to be done on establishing the procedures of how Remote ID will be implemented, the notification of the first FRIA, Community Based Organizations, etc. Note that no pilot needs to comply with Remote ID until Sept 16, 2023. I will work to provide further videos on these important subject areas.
