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.

If only it were that simple. The reality is our reps really don't give a flip about us. They only feign caring when glad handing for votes. Once in office, they only care about who is passing them the largest wad of cash. We wrote them lots of letters before this garbage was passed and they listened to NOTHING! The dirty little secret is that the 250mg weight limit was simply pulled out of thin air. There were no tests or engineering studies conducted to prove a safe weight limit. As far as influencing our faux representatives go, we comprise such a small number we are invisible. The AMA, (supposed to be our Washington connection for the hobby) saw the potential dollar signs from FRIA's and that opposition caved. Just like the Farm Bureau, (supposed to be working for and representing farmers) was caught selling out the farmers on, "Right to Repair", the AMA sold out the hobby for an illusionary windfall gain in club membership.

What happens when there's no FRIA anywhere within a reasonable distance and your model is over 250g? Many people fall into this category and could previously fly in parks and schoolgrounds but now I guess they're stuffed and will have to fit (at their own expense) a RID module to their model(s). Also, based on information disclosed, it seems that the FAA is only really wanting to create no more than 4,000 FRIAs (including educational institutions etc). How is that going to work when there are 2,400 AMA clubs and 115,000 schools and institutes of higher learning? Looks as if a *lot* of clubs and/or learning institutions are going to miss out on gaining FRIA status.

The sub 250g crafts will need remote ID also, just because they are tied together with registration, like stated, doesn't mean you don't need remote ID for flying outdoors or away from a FRIA. People just assumed that because of the registration weight cut off, and the fact when the rules were out, but not finalized yet, DJI and another company started churning out sub250g drones.

@@sunshynff Drones (or RC airplanes) are less than 250 grams and flown for recreational purposes, they do not need to be registered thus do not need remote ID, as remote ID is tied to a registration. My guess is some companies, such as DJI, will find remote ID so easy to make that they will incorporated it into most of their drones. Keep in mind even if a drone is less than 250 grams, you still need to follow other rules, such as flying below 400 feet and staying out of controlled airspace unless you have permission. Tim

@@TimMcKay56 A child interested aviation goes to mom and dad and seeking the first RC model. Parents are excited that of the many less than savory or useful things children can become enthralled with, their child is taking interest in a STEM related activity. After some research they stumble upon a web of registrations and complications. This happens thousands if not millions of times in our busy world. And the answer to our intrepid child is all too often..........."It's complated"........ "How about a new video game instead?" And that budding engineer, astronaut, pilot or future tech shooting star is distracted away. I am with you in the enthusiasm for aviation. But, realistic about the insanity of how we as a society find every opportunity to injure ourselves. What we have now is what we have to live with. I appreciate you are helping people to navigate the mostly senselessness of it all. The FAA's has made past rule making attempts to end model aviation, through the use attrition of flying sites (which can never be turned on again if anything happens). These proposals though not in effect at the moment demonstrate to us all the directionality of their heart. Much of this is really nothing more than transferring the costs of see-and-avoid technology (Bezos would otherwise have had to undertake) to the average citizen. He can't be bothered to fly around a flying site, avoid a public park or to "see" anything. This is largely corporate greed and influence mixed with regulation injustice in the name of "safety". There is the unavoidable problem of navigating the mess at it increases slowly over time. And increase it will. Yes there are other factors that lead to these measures and in this space I do not mean to express an entire thesis.

I've never flown at a club field, indoors and my airplane weighs more than 250 g. So I cannot legally fly without changing my behavior. Remote ID is like putting an criminal's ankle bracelet on every citizen in the United States, so the government, and anyone else who wants to, can monitor where we go and what we do. RID must be drastically changed.

Thanks Tim. Still have concerns that the devices are vaporware and if we use professional drones for LiDAR and air photos and no refit devices appear, will we have to phone in our flight areas so it can go in NOTAMS? Shut down airports (have done this for mapping airfields)? Is there a capacity for that at FAA? Are law enforcement going to bring scales to weigh schoolyard planes or just confiscate/stomp on them because it's easier? Where I live almost every lake is an airfield and I'm surrounded by runways for civil, military and general aviation. I never fly over 100 feet AGL. But private aircraft routinely fly below 400 feet, including a recent fatal accident in the Matanuska Valley where the pilot hit an unmarked power line. I see difficulty for the hobby ahead.

I don't think remote id is going to acheive the results the FAA is looking for, that is, protect piloted aircraft and the public in general. The segment of rc pilots that are a threat to piloted aircraft and public are long distance fpv pilots. Thr FAA could have managed yhe same result with an app: where are you flying; what distance from operator; what max altitude? Yes you need remote id, no you don't. The FAA is ensuring that the AMA has a monopoly on all private FRIAs, and if you want to fly over 250g models, you'll have to pay the AMA and an RC club. And if someone wants to fly unsafely, they'll figure out how to defeat the remote ID system. All in all, this set of regulations will do little or nothing to achieve their goals, IMO.

And by comparison, fpv and autonomous craft are 1000s of times more of a threat to piloted aircraft than line of sight fliers. Fpv can fly higher and further, and visibility around the craft is limited to forward for all but the most advanced camera systems. 95% of those 1000s of sightings of unmanned private craft by pilots are fpv craft, and the craft the FAA is concerned about.

From speaking to a lot of the RC mfg's they have no Remote ID solutions coming. There has been no real world testing to see what the impact will be on range, signal loss or any other deleterious effect that parking an up to 1 watt TX in cloae proximity to an RC RX will do to the noise floor that the RX sees in use. There has been no real-world testing at large events or gatherings and the much vaunted postage stamp sized solutions is vaporware. The idea that you will just have one RID button that you can move from one A/C to another hasn't been tested either. In short all the YT pundits have nothing but their opinion to share and not anything in terms of actual testing. Get back to us when you have an actual device that doesn't affect range, controllability or safety that you actually have tested with your own A/C. I refuse to be an Alpha or Beta tester for the FAA. If FAA wants us to ident our models it's up to them to do the heavy lifting not the modeling community to make their pipedream a reality.

Terry: Thanks for checking in! I’d say most modelers are not fully aware of how much work on remote ID is going on “behind the scenes” with the manufacturers. While many modelers say “I ain’t gonna comply”, the manufacturers simply do not have this option, as the FAA can shut them down for non-compliance. Check with the Boeing company if you have any doubts on this. Per www.FAA.gov there are over 150 FAA approved solutions to remote ID (Methods of Compliance). So quite soon, remote ID will simply “happen” as modelers purchase new drones that are remote ID compliant out of the box. In addition I think you’ll see companies like Spektrum offer receivers that include remote ID. Finally, remote ID modules exist. They are still big, heavy and expensive. But not required until Sept 16, 2023. Tim

@@TimMcKay56 I never said I wouldn't comply, what I'm saying is that there are no solutions you can buy now. Spektrum may be one but there is nothing offered you can buy at the minute. Better talk to JR, Jeti, Powerbox and Futaba, I have. The over 150 so called approved ones are meaningless to us; have you tested them? Where are those 150 FAA approved solutions you speak of? I don't think that remote ID will just simply happen, in fact I think it's a long way off and that the FAA hasn't been able to work out the details because they are depending on the so called stakeholders to do the heavy lifting. What you do with a system that can be multiplexed like a full sized A/C is one thing but if you do it integral to the model it has to time share with the telemetry coming back. Ask yourself why you can easily out fly the telemetry on a Spek radio or even a Jeti? Most modern RC systems aren't particularly robust when it comes to selectivity and are easily swamped in the presences of a relatively high powered nearby TX. Most are some variation of a network chip designed for an entirely different purpose and depend heavily on software for discrimination at the signal level. In short; show me the solutions that have been tested in the field and are known to work; I'll wait.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but DJI's Mini 3 Pro drone weighs 249 grams and they have forced a Remote ID update onto this drone even though the FAA doesn't require it for this drone.

@@TimMcKay56 I agree. Maybe I wasn't clear. DJI forced the update without the FAA requiring it. When DJI first produced their mini series which was under 250g, there was only one reason to produce a drone with that weight and that wa to avoid Remote ID when it would come in the future. DJI tauted this drone series as being under 250g for this purpose. However, they recently pushed the Remote ID firmware update on these 249g drones which makes a lot of people upset. It's all DJI's doing, not the FAAs.

@@johnchaplinsky5587 Exactly right. Notice how DJI did not do the same for the new Mini 2 SE? As far as I am concerned, DJI now has the ability to dictate which of their Mini drones can and cannot be used professionally out of the box. Anyone willing to stick on a R-ID module (that currently weighs 16 grams or more) will have a DJI Mini drone that requires registration, recreational flyer or not. That R-ID module stuck on a DJI Mini aircraft will hurt performance, impact the center of gravity, and ultimately make the aircraft less safe. I thought the main goal is safer skies and airspace? This is one easy to understand example of how the new R-ID rules will make the airspace less safe.

These are good suggestions, but I'm not really interested in beating the regulation, since that means changing how and where I fly to the point that it's no longer convenient and less fun for me. I want to comply with the regulation by putting a Remote ID module in my plane, but the rollout of this regulation has been such a disaster that it's impossible for me to confidently comply. I'm finally seeing some Remote ID modules for sale at wildly different price points, but I'm unsure which ones to trust. Not to mention that I have little trust that the FAA won't change the regulation again, making the old modules irrelevant. If I'm able to acquire a Remote ID module before September 16 then great! Otherwise I'm just gonna keep doing what I do. Stupid rules are meant to be broken, and rules without a means of compliance are stupid.

At the moment, some (all?) manufacturers are avoiding compliance with the Remote ID regulations by selling "basic" RTF kits. Apparently they feel (or have determined) that as long as the plane is not completely ready to fly, they are not required to comply even after December 2022. Meaning, if you have to buy one item (e.g. a battery) to get the plane into the air, they don't have to comply. At least that is how the Horizon customer support person explained it. They also have no plans to supply remote ID solutions right now or in the near future (but this may change once September comes closer).

The FAA has at least a 3 month back log of processing new medical certificates and private pilot certificates. Among other major delays in processing applications. How are they going to be able to get all this in place by September? I just can't understand how an unmanned aircraft will be required to have a transponder in all airspace, when the manned aircraft are only required to have a transponder when flying in certain airspace, AKA A, B, C and E above 10,000 MSL. I mean if we RC pilots are already limited to 400' AGL there shouldn't be a requirement for a transponder on our aircraft in class G or E below 10,000 MSL or below 2,500 AGL in class E. We should be allowed to fly without transponders same as manned aircraft especially since we are limited to 400' AGL and line of sight. Especially in class G.

Also, remote ID in no way compares to a radar transponder. Remote ID has no, zero, air traffic control function. Just a way to identify the drone and takeoff location. The emitted signal is very weal, range often less than two miles. BTW, transponders are required in a LOT more airspace, like the 30 mile veil around Group B airspace. Tim

I never understood the 250g weight rule. While the mass of the aircraft is not substantial enough to cause any real damage, the fact that the aircraft actually collided proves that one or both violated the rules of flight. An unmanned aircraft isn't supposed to fly higher than 400ft or within 5mi of an airport. A manned aircraft isn't supposed to be lower than 500ft except when landing. A degree of separation is built into these rules. I could fly a 50lb unmanned aircraft and follow the safety rules and never come close to any manned aircraft doing the same.

The only way to associate it would be to id it by serial number, get my name and account info from DJI, Autel, etc. and cross it to my registration number, in which case, why do they need a registration number in the first place. Registration numbers are to id a crashed drone and it's owner, not to ID a drone in flight.

@gordonmckay4523 There’s also a lot more to know about how astrology, phrenology and homeopathy works. Because it doesn't. Maybe the FAA will let us know if they crack the mystery. Meanwhile, any plan to cross ref ny drone and my reg number would require i tell the FAA what drones i own, including a unique identifier. Not happening. DJI would have to cough up their database to the FAA and drone SN would have to be broadcast. That ain't happening either. Only 107 pilots who must register each drone, AND IT'S SERIAL NO, with a unique registration number will be able to be identified by their RID data. For everyone else, the RID data is anonymous.

at petem.3719, Not hard to figure out. Recreational pilots must register with the FAA (according to the Law) and are given a unique number that's on your printable FAA Registration. WARNING - failure to comply with The Law could result in a stern verbal dressing down from perpetual flying in a circle jerk AMA members. Those that think the AMA cares about (us) need to realize (First) that they are a not-for-profit but "For Salary" organization and (Second) that Star Trek was not actually filmed "On Location".

You're not alone in thinking that #2 is an exception, but I've been following these regs intimately since 2019, and I also used to run the drone team at my fire dept. before I retired and I have a few ins with some FAA folks, the new rules say NOTHING about sub 250g UAS and remote ID. I know that remote ID is tied to registration, and you don't have to registers sub 250g, but if you want to fly outdoors, away from a FRIA, legally, you MUST have remote ID regardless if you're registered or not. I've been telling people this in forums and comment sections for over a year when I see people boasting about their new sub 250g drone they just got and laughing how they don't have to worry about any of this. Read through the regs again, I promise you, when it comes time to be compliant, they will bust a someone somewhere with a sub 250g craft not using remote ID.

@TimMcKay56 Жыл бұрын
Well, we'll see. As remote ID is not required until Sept 16, 2023, modelers not familiar with the ins and outs. But I think to properly set up remote ID it needs to be linked to a drone registration. As registration is not required for recreational flying under 250 grams, no remote ID needed in this case. Of course, if you are working drones with a fire department that does not sound like recreational flying, so registration is required. And of course drones under 250 grams flown for recreational purposes still need to comply with other rules, such as flying below 400 feet, staying out of controlled airspace, etc. Tim

In my comments on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking I recommended the adoption of a very simple and easy to implement solution, such as a prohibition I on flying more than say 400 feet above terrain. I warned that anything complicated or expensive and difficult to monitor would fail. I mentioned the attempt by the FCC to regulate Citizens Band operators by requiring a license, limiting antenna heights, limiting transmit power, etc., all without any way to monitor compliance. The result has been virtually no compliance with the CB regulations, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the same thing happens with remote ID.

@TimMcKay56 ..one of my problems is that I have some model planes that simply have no room inside for more electronics. I got into electrics back when electrics wasn't cool ( circa 1988) because I made a deal with the owner of the field behind my house ,that I wouldn't use IC engines. He was worried about fuel spills. Most of my models are in the 800mm WS range ,on the older side and were not designed with a lot of room in them. My biggest models are an old Electra e-power glider and a Midwest e- Aerostar.
