Thank you for the news, I think commercialized drones should be regulated, and in certain metropolitans they can enforce this new regulation, but for hobbyists and developers, they should have the freedom of testing their own builds, as long as it is not in the FAA restricted areas. Or scale up the size, restrict crafts that is big enough to have a material impact on the air traffics. Future will be interesting, I can imagine one day our sky might be as congested as our roads. Need to put more thoughts in the planning.

This is not an issue of just privacy and security. Putting such restrictions on even all models would drastically affect any future developments in the domain. India too have adopted similar policy

No Way !!! Registered my Quad back in 2016 and never again. Was gonna get my part 107 to be able to make some money but there is too much competition to even think about making a living off just that unless you are a big company. Now this bullcrap? There is small airport in my town that does not even have a control tower and I fly 1.5 miles away from it usually around 200 feet. What I know for a fact is that quite a few private manned planes and helis do not squak their ident. Not sure if it's a malfunction or done on purpose, all I know is their ID is not visible as they fly over my house. MY QUAD IS NOT UNREGISTERED, IT IS UNDOCUMENTED !! The only thing the FAA will accomplish with this overreach will be to make alot of hobbyists and part 107 pilots outlaws and as such, the 400' AGL will go out the window for most pilots. If you are already in violation of flying without remote id, what would be the difference of violating the 400' and above airspace. The FAA should just walk away from this and let people enjoy a decades long hobby. Questions, comments all welcomed.
