I Ain't Following Remote ID FAA Regulations!!

In this video I will provide a background discussion on the FAA, how they write regulations and how these regulations are being applied to the new world of drone and RC model airplane flight. In short how to address a pilot who says "I ain't following remote ID FAA regulations."

Some viewers who are drone pilots are new to the world of the FAA regulations and how they are enforced. I cover this in detail, as well as the coordination between local law enforcement authorities and the FAA regarding drone flights.

The FAA is concerned with three main areas for recreational drone pilot violations, and that concerns controlled airspace violations, flight over people and crashing your drone.

At the 19+20 mark I will go over a Cape Air accident where a pilot passed out during flight due to a diabetic incident and caused the passenger to land the airplane. This is an extreme example of FAA regulation enforcement as the pilot lied about his medical history on his FAA medical application.

Deciding whether or not to follow FAA regulations is a personal decision. But I recommend that drone and RC pilots follow the regs. The remote ID module situation will be in a proper place this fall whereby modelers can afford and use this new piece of hardware mandated by the FAA.
