Remote ID - Is Your Drone Compliant?

[@pdbordelon]

This was so helpful. I have a new DJI Air 3 and last week when I registered it through the FAAdronezone I neglected to indicate that it had RID. Based on this video I was able to confirm the Air 3 is RID active and compliant. Just edited my FAA registration to reflect the active RID. Thanks for showing us where to find the information on the DJI controller. Easy enough. :)

Great content Greg & team! One note with respect to Remote ID for the Air 2s with the Smart Controller. After performing all the necessary software and firmware updates I could not get rid of the constant Remote ID Error (Code: 161000B4) and the accompanying Unable to takeoff (Code: 30064) error in the DJI Fly app. However, what I was finally able to figure out is if you leave the Fly app and perform the following steps you will finally clear those error messages and be able to fly: - Pull down the device menu from the top of the screen. - Go to the Setup screen (via the gear icon at the top) - Scroll down to the "Personal" section and click on "Location" (which, in my case, was set to OFF) - Flip the switch from Off to On - Choose whatever location "Mode" you prefer (I kept the default of "Device only") - Back out of the settings menu and reboot the controller. - Problem solved! PS - Disappointingly, a call to DJI Technical Support on this issue was not helpful in surfacing the eventual solution documented above!

This is from DJI We are sorry to inform you that Mavic Air 2 cannot comply with the Remote ID rule by upgrading firmware currently. I'd love to give you a clear yes or no but it is not determined yet whether we will release RID-compliant firmware for Mavic Air 2. Thanks for your understanding. You do not need to take any action until September 16, 2023. On and after that date, if you continue to use the drone, you will have to comply with the rule in either of the two ways described below: Operate a drone with a Remote ID broadcast module giving the drone's identification, location, and take-off information. A broadcast module is a device that can be attached to a drone, or a feature (such as a software upgrade) integrated with the drone. Persons operating a drone with a Remote ID broadcast module must be able to see their drone at all times during flight. 2. Operate (without Remote ID equipment) at FAA-recognized identification areas (FRIAs) sponsored by community-based organizations or schools. FRIAs are the only locations unmanned aircraft (drones and radio-controlled airplanes) may operate without broadcasting Remote ID message elements. If you decided to comply with rule by adding a Remote ID module to the drone, kindly be noted that the Remote ID module you purchase must be FAA-approved. Follow the Remote ID module instruction manual to properly install it on the drone. You also need to add Remote ID module information such as make, model, and serial number to the FAA drone registry.

Greg, as a follow-up note: We tested one of our DJI drones today (Air2s) to determine whether or not Remote ID transmission is active within the aircraft (all firmware updates were installed). The "Remote Functionality" message was not indicated on the DJI RC (as you denoted around the "6:30 mark" of your presentation). However, we did launch the Drone Scanner App (Android) and our aircraft was accurately identified instantly within the app. Thus, we are now confident the aircraft's RID is operating, "A-OK!" I just wanted you to be aware that it appears the "Remote Functionality" message does not appear in all cases pertaining to RID transmission confirmation. (At least based on today's RID test.) Be well, T ;-)

You can indeed fly recreationally (not true under part 107) with a sub 250g drone without Remote ID. There’s not really a specific place where it says that in the regs but part 89 (remote ID regulation) only applies to drones that require registration.

Great Video.. Did everything as you said but the FAA does not agree! They Rejected my AIR 2 S even though everything is correct. The SN is within the range.. ... so now what?

[@PilotInstitute]

When you say rejected, can you be more specific? Did it give you an error message?

[@jonathanfmarin]

@@PilotInstitute Dont know what happened ... but it worked

[@hfmann1]

excellent info. thanks.

[@celson44elson52]

Cute, but where's the FAA link? Nowhere. The above address is not listed in plain view.

[@PilotInstitute]

All links are in the description. Which link are you looking for specifically?

[@robertbarrett6904]

Thanks for the great information!!

If you have a sub 249 gram drone and you register it does it need to also have remote ID? Because i wanted to register my mini 3 pro to use the bigger battery but not if i also need remote id. Unless its automatic on the mini 3? Thanks for giving us all this information.

[@kensteele3363]

rid on the mini 3 pro is automatic, you don't have a choice. according to dji, the mini 3 pro will transmit rid regardless. whatever you put into the faa portal is up to you. your heavy mini 3 pro must at least have a registration sticker.

[@JeffThacker]

Where can we find a list of approved RID modules? Shopping around is not getting any real results for me.

[@PilotInstitute]

They are in the same location on the DOC website for the FAA. You might need to dig a bit more because there is no way to filter by module.

[@dutchovenguy]

DJI is indeed a mess. For my Air 2S with the latest updates, the Aircraft Flight Controller serial number is NOT the same as new RID serial number. The RID serial number conforms to the format you describe, 1581F . . . . To create the RID, SN. it looks like DJI took the original ID, put the 1581F in front and added a zero at the end.The Flight Controller SN remains the old serial number that the drone was manufactured with. Maybe newer manufactured drones have the same numbers for both functions.

Sir that will fix the problem for the aircraft but; what about the remote? There is not gps on the Master Zorro for example! How we going to broadcast the pilot position?

[@PilotInstitute]

You don’t broadcast pilot location with a module.

[@panoramic_life38]

@@PilotInstitute sir, i was reading and they want the pilot location as well, I know dji already have that,but no others quads! With this module we can fix 50% of the problem because we will be able to broadcast the quad but not the pilot, and they want the pilot as well!

[@PilotInstitute]

The pilot location is not a required element for the remote ID message if you have a module.

[@panoramic_life38]

@@PilotInstitute thank you for the information, I was really worried, I misunderstood the reading on the Faa website.
