Is the FAA Tracking Your Drone? (YDQA EP 85)

[@patking8950]

I've always felt that there's no need to worry about FAA or law enforcement tracking you, unless you're flying in a manner that would give them a reason to pay attention to you.

I couldn't care less, I fly when traveling and camping and I video or photograph scenery and don't use the noisy Mavic 3 around people and fly the Mini 4 pro above 100' where few notice it.

This actually happened last year in Vegas during the F1 race. The operator got caught & caught a massive fine ($80k if I remember).

Oh wow! I didn’t hear about that one. Thanks for the info 👍

This is pure bunk, a person flying a drone over the super bowl would certainly not have an active remote ID module on board. The simple reason for remote ID is the UAV delivery industry needs this information for collision avoidance and rather than develop it themselves they bought the FAA to have drone pilots provide the information and pay for the transponders.

You know every basic DJI drone currently comes with the remote ID module now, right? And those don’t do any delivery.
