The FAA will follow up on any complaint for sure. In the Private Pilot community a few years back, the "Ramp Check" became a thing. We might have an FAA person stop us as we were pre-flighting the aircraft and ask to see the registration, certificate, etc. That could happen in the UAS environment as well. One thing in the operator's favor is that the FAA is currently operating with education and remediation as their emphasis, rather than punishment. That , of course, could change.
I really don't think they have the resources to keep a "close eye" on everyone, I think your approach to the seatbelt analogy makes more sense and how I feel it will be done. I mean think about it, the broadcast distance on the remote ID is finite, They would have to have either have Mobil units or set up a lot of "towers" or whatever they would use to keep an eye. Also on top of that, if you are not broadcasting a remote ID, they would have to somehow know that there is a drone out there flying, and in my opinion if someone is not complaining about it, I feel that it will be the same as just flying a sub 250g drone that does not need remote ID (for rec purposes of course) But I'm no expert for sure, just in the hobby
They would have to have receive towers up everywhere to tell when someone fires up their transmitter and have those transmitters on a list with peoples info on them. Thing is...those freqs we transmit on are public and there's no requirement for us to register on those freqs, so it would take some fkn brown noser calling the cops and them getting the FAA involved.
There already numerous apps currently available such as Drone Scanner and others. These apps show location, altitude, flight path and owner. But of course they can't detect your drone if it isn't RID equipped and turned on.
Right, the apps exist -- but my question is moreso: "who is monitoring these apps and systems from an FAA side of things?" Additionally, what kind of corrective action or consequences do we face as pilots for not broadcasting RID? Am I going to receive a stern talking to? Am I going to require retraining? Revocation of license? Fines? The announcement of Remote ID being ENFORCED is largely a non-statement as there is no outline for who, how, when, and what when it comes to FAA action on that enforcement. To parody an episode of Seinfeld..."See, ya know how to SAY you're enforcing Remote ID. You just don't know HOW to enforce Remote ID. And that's really the most important part of enforcing Remote ID: The HOW. Anybody can just say they're enforcing Remote ID!"
I feel the FAA is just messing with the hobby, they don’t actively monitor their airspace for safety reasons with Drones. Too many people out here doing whatever they want with drones and ruining it for the rest of the people who actually care about rules and safety
Is exactly what they want you to think. The truth is, it is not about safety. It's about power and control. And they were just looking for a reason to take your rights away. You actually think our modern Government cares about your safety? Lol that's a good one.
" Too many people out here doing whatever they want with drones and ruining it for the rest of the people who actually care about rules and safety" This is the wrong attitude. It's the cause of these bullshit laws in fact. What others do is of zero concern to you until it's actively infringing on your life or liberty. This sort of thinking is in fact designed to be authoritarian by nature. As Thomas Jefferson said "I prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery" Letting the bad apples dictate society has turned it into a nanny-state.
@@YorktownUSA Always the case. Every time without fail. There's no such thing as a "safety law" that's meant to actually help you. What they do is make you compliant for further infringements in the future.
They are catering to the future corporate interests in making the airspace right of way for drone delivery companies (ie...Amazon and Google), and hobbyists take a back seat to megacorporate interests...
The dude is just giving you the official responses. Most likly the only active surveillance would be around airports and then likely only larger airports. Military installations or US capital buildings, ie Washington
I agree with you. I mean before all this. The rules were simple. And as an adult I expect like anything else. If I steal I'm on trouble if I get caught. So for me. Those that do weird crazy stuff well it's already a law for that. A dude just went to jail for being a creep with his drone. But I know I know this is America. One or a few do weird stuff and all the good folks get punished for it 😮😮😮. Never mad any sense to me. Same with gun owners. A few do bad things. And all the good gun owners get punish for it. Makes no sense whatsoever! So for me I just fly and have fun and try and abide by the rules.
It's pretty much the same thing as enforcing any other FAA regulations for regular aircraft/aviation. They would have to actually be witness to or have proof (i.e. a video someone posts) of a regulatory violation taking place. Even then the only thing they can immediately do is revoke or suspend any applicable FAA certificates or registrations. The FAA cannot take any legal actions or impose fines without going through the legal process, which can take a while, years even. Long, drawn out bureaucratic red tape night mares..... like only the government can do.
They want to clear the airspace of recreational drones so companies can come in and use the airspace for commercial purposes. So they have to outlaw or confine Rec drones. Big companies are paying the FAA to dominate this new business market. Think drone Uber eats. There is a huge $$$ market for use cases like this
i installed drone scanner and it works, the first week i knew a neighbor down the road was flying, but to be honest unless someone was buzzing my place i forget to even look at the app
bought a Sky remote id for my Mavic for part 107. Fly models at a FRIA so covered. p.s. will all of the "baddies" out there wanting to do a malicious act register there remote id?
@@smugfrog8111 Correct! A mandate can only exist where there is a civil contract between two or more consenting parties! Government cannot arbitrarily mandate a citizen to wave a constitutionally protected right through a noncontractual mandate - PERIOD! Fly safe, fly free.
It would be nice if the FAA makes it mandatory for those people monitoring pilots on their phones to broadcast their location and ip address. This doesn't solve the problem but it would also make them worried about monitoring drones. We don't want them to know our location neither do they. It should add to our safety a little bit. The public needs to broadcast their location when using their phones to monitor pilots
Don’t be a Mikey(Philly), don’t fly over crowds during large event (FAA does monitor these), buy a $60 RID box and stick it on your non-DJI drone. And then just don’t worry about it. Principles aside, folks are making a big deal about not much.
I honestly think they have no clue. They cannot tell you how it will be enforced because truthfully I don't think it can be and I believe they know it.
Also. When will the FAA fix their website for drone registration for when you change one drone from hobbyist to commercial drone? There should be a way to get this accomplished, it all has to be done on their end.
I guess I can say I can be called a sucker and just comply and see what happens next. Just wonder if they were able to monitor my Croc 7 maiden rebuild flight for the 10 seconds it was in the air before having a motor ground out and it fell from the sky. Wondering if I’ll get a call or a message.
Will Chinese balloons also be required to have remote I.D? If we can’t see Chinese balloons without using radar filters, then how will they ever see a tiny drone. I think it’s mostly B.S.
Journalistic research is a VERY generous term, but I do appreciate it! Thank you for the kind words and I'm happy my video could bring you some clarity (even if it's not as much as we'd all like).
So the weight of the done is set to 250g, based on the velocity of a musket shot from the 1800s. And Congress just finalized and passed the FAA Reauthorization bill which the President will sign. People said there was no way and not enough time to talk Congress into raising the weight of the drone to something more reasonable, like 500g or 1kg, which is still no where near heavy enough to be dangerous. The next Renewal Reauthorization is in 2028. My question is, is there time NOW to start lobbing for a weight increase in order to exempt most recreational and 107 fliers??? Just something to think about for the next four years...
According to that second answer, I think your are correct in what you're saying about the seatbelt explanation. If they have to enforce and control all the airspace, they would need a whole new police force just for drones. Thank goodness I'm in another country with less so called enforcement. However, we do need to stick to the rules as we have way more Karens here about drones. We even get complaints about leaf blowers in the suburbs. 🤭 Never mind, everyone here thinks someone is spying on them even with cell phones. 😂
welcome to dealing with government employees. I too submitted questions about remote ID as I wanted to be compliant when I registered and there was some confusing items to deal with dropdowns for either the remote ID or the aircraft but no way to bind the two together when you have an older aircraft The only answer I got was basically read the directions which does not cover that. as far as enforcement goes I live in Las Vegas and they've announced that they partnered with four other major cities to develop a surveillance technology for drones and they used it during the last formula 1 F1 race and they bust that a guy who launched from a parking lot nearby and then tried to hover over the racetrack they went right to his location in the parking lot but it wasn't using remote ID if some other technological surveillance system. therefore I see the FAA using local law enforcement to do most of the enforcement on drone issues. Sorry I see lots of typos in this I used voice dictation and it's too difficult to re-edit via one line at a time on my phone sorry.
I would bet that the real answer is that they don't realistically have the manpower or means to actually enforce widespread compliance, they just expect people to comply with it. Of course, they can't just come out and say this. I think the ambiguous answer let's you infer that you have a good chance of getting caught not complying without them having to lie to imply that. That said, I don't agree with the seat belt analogy as we do have a fairly robust traffic policing force and they actually will pull you over if they see you not wearing your seat belt. Unrelated side note: for the love of God can you choose background music that won't get stuck in my head and drive me insane for the rest of the day? 😅 That silly horn is living rent free in my brain now, lol
That’s fair and others have also said my analogy isn’t perfect as it depends entirely on the state or locality and how robust the policing is for seatbelts. In my area, it’s not a common thing to be stopped for, but absolutely stacks if they discover it after stopping you for something else. But totally fair, not a one size fits all that I assumed it to be. And welcome to hell. I have been here since I discovered it 😈😂
@@TheDroneGeek I didn't realize the music was maliciously chosen. You are truly evil and I underestimated you... Something else to consider is that I don't really think that the FAA has a desire to crack down on people, they just want people to comply to increase safety.

I personally think that unless there's a complaint from someone, there's no way the FAA is going to track you down. Nonetheless, I will abide and comply with RID.
The FAA doesn’t have the resources to monitor the air space in this way. I like your seat belt analogy but it’s also like giving the police the ability to not need probable cause when they stop you because with a drone (at least in the US) you are required to show your TRUST and ID for verification and toss in all that data that is at their disposal if (FAA) needed. I don’t think your friend from the FAA is holding back anything, I don’t think he can get a straight answer from his end? I believe that the FAA is worried not about the people (anyone watching this video and obviously cares) who are trying to do it right but the people who just go out and buy a drone and put it in the air without a care and even worse!!!, but don’t know and don’t care just out to have fun with their new toy! All the videos out their with drones being flown into the clouds? How many people watching done videos with not much experience (newbies) are like what the heck are you doing, this is what that does or this is how you do that because they don’t even take the time to learn their drone before they shoot their first video. Remote ID is a quick and easy way for them to be able to go after those I just mentioned and let's face it, it may detour people who were going to buy a drone and give it a second thought, just to much of a hassle. As I always say…losing my drone in a tree isn’t the worst thing to happen to me today, but it's still up there 🚁
" who are trying to do it right but the people who just go out and buy a drone and put it in the air without a care" That is the right thing. It's called liberty. Anything else is tyranny. "but don’t know and don’t care just out to have fun with their new toy!" It's a fucking toy... That's sort of the point. "you are required to show your TRUST and ID for verification and toss in all that data that is at their disposal if (FAA) needed. " I don't see that in 2A.. Got the Constitution right here, looking.. Nope. No such mention. Since drones are common use military assets, they're by default 2A protected and any restriction on them, no matter how small or insignificant is a violation of the constitution and tantamount to treason. "All the videos out their with drones being flown into the clouds? How many people watching done videos with not much experience (newbies) are like what the heck are you doing, this is what that does or this is how you do that because they don’t even take the time to learn their drone before they shoot their first video." Sounds like freedom, what's your point? FAA rules are arbitrary bullshit, not based on anything technical or logical. Just rules for the sake of rules. "Remote ID is a quick and easy way for them to be able to go after those I just mentioned and let's face it, it may detour people who were going to buy a drone and give it a second thought, just to much of a hassle." This is the same argument made about guns and background checks and it's preposterously stupid. All it does is keep good people out. The only people with drones at that point will be the people who don't care at all.. Or patriots. Patriots don't abide unjust or unconstitutional edicts. First off, these remote systems are expensive and you don't need it to make the machine work. If anything it's nothing but more shit to fail. Making it yourself, or buying a kit will always be an option, 3D printers exist, as do basic machining and fabrication skills. I can make one of these things for a few dollars of foam board and hot glue and there'd be nothing you could do to stop me. The cat is out of the bag, Pandora's box is open. There's nothing that can be done to slow it without going full tyranny. Just embrace the freedom and become ungovernable, the danger of it should excite you. That's part of being American. Disobedience and defiance are our highest virtues. If not, if you disagree, the DPRK is accepting western defectors... Go.. "As I always say…losing my drone in a tree isn’t the worst thing to happen to me today, but it's still up there" I did actually get one of my gliders stuck in a tree yesterday, lol. Got her out though. No remote ID on her either! It'd cost twice what the entire plane costs and it's a violation of my liberty. .
I can buy two flight controllers for the cost of one remote id. F that...at least until a lot of pilots start paying huge fines, then I might rethink that. Until we see I'm going to be flying at my local ama field a lot. lol I'd rather give the $100 to them to hopefully fight this bs than some asshat looking to gouge us and prey on us for this bs faa regs. OFC this whole thing is probably a conspiracy by the AMA to get us to fly at their fields.
The only way they can realistically know if a drone has remote id is if the drone has remote Id
Remote ID? My quad has a right to remain silent! Anything that it says or does, can and will be used against me in a court of law!
🤣🤣🤣

I can make one of these things for a few dollars of foam board and hot glue and there'd be nothing you could do to stop me. The cat is out of the bag, Pandora's box is open. There's nothing that can be done to slow it without going full tyranny. Just embrace the freedom and become ungovernable, the danger of it should excite you. That's part of being American. Disobedience and defiance are our highest virtues. If not, if you disagree, the DPRK is accepting western defectors... Go..
"As I always say…losing my drone in a tree isn’t the worst thing to happen to me today, but it's still up there"
I did actually get one of my gliders stuck in a tree yesterday, lol. Got her out though. No remote ID on her either! It'd cost twice what the entire plane costs and it's a violation of my liberty. .
Don’t even know what remote is an if I’m in it or not don’t care either way
I can buy two flight controllers for the cost of one remote id. F that...at least until a lot of pilots start paying huge fines, then I might rethink that. Until we see I'm going to be flying at my local ama field a lot. lol I'd rather give the $100 to them to hopefully fight this bs than some asshat looking to gouge us and prey on us for this bs faa regs. OFC this whole thing is probably a conspiracy by the AMA to get us to fly at their fields.
FAA remote Id requirements have driven me out of the hobby.
What a useless exercise..There is no drone ATC as far as I can find out so who is actually tracking our toys being flown in parks ?
you will be sniched by karen, theres your inforcement which will dump the job on local leos
