Spent years on a 1/6 scale AS315 Lama helicopter. I converted it from gas to electric with the clutch for that realistic start up. 😃 So nice to know that my $4500 RC helicopter is soon going to be a nice wall decoration. Thanks FAA. Ironically I’m an air ambulance pilot who has never encountered a drone on my many flights. Go figure ☹️
Well said
Ignore the FAA rule - they ignored us.
Exactly
Remote ID doesn't prevent bad actors. Remote ID is the wrong solution for a problem that doesn't exist in the model RC and Quad copter communities. This is a tracking device fitted to innocent responsible hobbyists who already have the best safety record in aviation for as long as aviation, no before aviation was a thing. Thanks for the Video.
Thanks for sharing and educating the public on how dangerous and ridiculous these regulations are to our pilots (children included)
Thanks for stepping up to the plate on this issue. Great work.
Stay safe, remain vigilant and never stop flying!
Finally a big RUclipsr has the balls to say how damaging this is gonna be. Tweet bro thank you for being on the same page and really letting people know what's ahead. Some very good points here There gonna wait till people start getting really hurt and then the rule may change.
Explained in a way that anybody can understand
Gotta agree with you there Grim,Out of all the Bigger RUclipsrs here Dan is the only 1 that has put his particulars on the table and said how he feels,just goes to show how meager it makes the others look like soft cocks.......SHAME ON YOU GUYS.SPEAK UP JUST LIKE DAN HAS.
I just wish they would try to understand how most of us fly.
It’s not about how people fly, it’s about money and control!
Why would they bother? Your interests are irrelevant to their plan.
I get and agree with you both. It's just wishful thinking.
@beauknowlton yep, unfortunately.
Generally speaking most countries governing bodies are totally naive about the the Rc aeromodelling world as we realised in the UK.
great to see someone mentioning that this is for all R/C models not just FPV or MultiRotor's...
I fly mostly fixed wing aircraft like scale warbirds and sailplanes, and have since the 90's, but with the current rules most of my planes will be illegal to fly without RID even though many are lighter than a NFL Football and fly slower. I don't have anything with a camera (or GPS for that matter) on it so nothing I own can be flown outside of Visual Line of Sight.
There is no Complete module for $50 like the FAA estimated, The dronetag BS is currently the smallest and cheapest option for traditional R/C models - if it was actually in stock... it runs $90 for the module + ~$10 in antennas and ~$20-30 shipping and for me comes out at about $130 to get one complete unit - $130 per module is often more than I spend to build a scale model from scratch... as to swapping it between models the Dronetag BS uses U.FL connectors for its antennas, these are not made to constantly be removing and re-attaching an antenna to, most are only rated for something like 20-50 times...
I fully agree with the idea that the automated drones that you you need little to no skill to fly, and long range Beyond Visual Line of sight aircraft are the types that RID makes sense for... it makes no sense for a fixed wing parkflyer or freestyle MR.
@@iggie8144 Section 336 was removed in 2020. As far as the FAA is concerned if it flies and there is no pilot inside it's a Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and to them that's a "Drone"... unless it's under 250 grams (about 8.5Oz) basically everything applies
for reference - here is the rule removal:
www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/11/2020-26726/removal-of-the-special-rule-for-model-aircraft
This RID is crazy, thanks for waking up the masses.
Just completely insane in my opinion.
Good video. Glad to see so many in the community stepping up making these videos.
Lots of good points!
Couple corrections:
1) Sep 16th is the date I've been seeing everywhere for the enforcement date.
2) Also, the remote ID module is one per pilot license, not per device. You are supposed to swap it between devices. Multiple IDs per license is discouraged.
you a fed?
I have a 107 and need to read the regulations. I thought if you were 107 each module had to be tied to a discreet registration number.
@@inspiredartphotos @somebodyspecific2410 I also have a 107. As I understood the wording, it is a single module. Single Remote ID tied to one license.
@@transved6356 Copied and pasted from the FAA Remote ID Final Rule PDF: For unmanned aircraft registered individually and operated under part 91, part 107, part 135, or any other operating part, the FAA clarifies that the serial number used to register a standard remote identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast module may only be associated with one registration application. The FAA will not accept duplicate
submissions of serial numbers under part 47 or part 48. This means that a person may not move the remote identification broadcast module amongst aircraft required to be registered individually without removing the serial number from one Certificate of Aircraft Registration
before adding it to another.
Clearly in the case where you own multiple "built in" remoteID compliant models you would in fact be registering "multiple RID" modules as they are not swapable.
Well worded, it is an overreach, it does pose a threat to rc pilots who can be tracked by people with bad intentions, and it's ridiculously restrictive. Shielded operations should be free from this. If a manned aircraft manages to get below the tree line, possibly hitting a 260g foam aircraft is the least of the pilot's worries. And I agree, I think many people still think this rule applies to multirotors only, and don't realize all rc craft are lumped together for the law.
As a camera drone owner I’m not happy to see this thought in many videos that we are the problem. There exist technology to track and disable commercial drones on a county sized level. If you want to enforce a TFR at a football game or large airport the 30k or so investment for this technology is a rationale choice. Pilot institute has a video demonstrating this.
Makes me wonder what other surprises Big Brother has in store for us.
Central Bank digital currencies are next, remember the Canadian Truckers last year?
I don't think RID was a mistake - I think the FAA means to stamp out the drone hobby. It's staffed with full scale pilots - many who see drones as a threat to their livelihood.
It's not the FAA it's Google, Amazon and DJI who told them it's the solution to a problem that does not exist
@@sUASNews This! Its corporate entities that want to stomp out the potential competition with drone deliveries and other industries.
It's homeland security that made the faa do all this
@@sUASNews Amazon, Google or any other upstart companies in the future that wanna think they can deliver a pizza in the pouring rain / freezing sleet and snow have absolutely nothing to do with it
. The functionality of that idea is completely defunct, fabricated and false just like you don't have to be registered license experienced pilot to fly an ultralight! yet there's tens of thousands of airplanes in the air not causing any problems this is about one thing only, it's about tracking individuals who might have intent on causing criminal mischief or terrorist attacks.. .
@@joemck1235 There are national security concerns connected to this, but do not be fooled...commercial interests are the real reason behind this!
Thanks a bunch, Dan! 😃
I'm writing my speech right now, to make a video as well. I'm probably going to record in the next few days, I just need to get a bit better of a damn crazy cold...
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your video and and well considered views. You hit the nail on the head with "regulatory overreach".
Oooo, now we're outlaws...exciting!
I will be doing what you will be doing Dan,flying my models on my property as far as i want and within reason high as well.
Yes, though I'm not sure they didn't realise.
Either they did realise and felt by doing this it would sufficiently squeeze the hobby that it would diminish to not being an issue for the FAA, or if they just didn't realise, then they just aren't competent to create the rules. If the latter is the case, they still have an option to pull this and rethink it. Do you think they will? No, neither do I, not without a lot of pressure anyway.
In a way it is worse than you said. The sub 250g recreational / educational exemption is very tightly drawn. Doing just about anything can get you outside the exemption - post a video on RUclips, give a video to a charity or local not-for-profit club website. Anything similar to that and you are outside the exemption and that's assuming 250g doesn't reduce in future. As well as that, it appears that the wording as written means that FPV requires standard remote ID, that is, built in to the craft by an audited manufacturer, and tamperproof. Signals not right at takeoff? No takeoff, so forget flying anything like that in an indoor space like a hanger - no GPS.
They may say "oh, no one will pick up on a charity video", or "well, we never meant that about FPV", but it is what they wrote, and they haven't changed it. Do you trust them to be reasonable? I don't either, they haven't been so far, so why should we assume they'll start now?
Everything you suggest is sensible, private space, shielded operations etc, but I don't think they are interested in listening. I think they hope the hobby will diminish to being a footnote. This will quite likely achieve that, apart from those who keep doing their own thing illegally.
The RC fixed wing brigade who fly at fields will be largely unaffected, those fields will be FRIAs. I don't begrudge them that, why should their long standing hobby be screwed in this way?
The rest of us? Dumped on. and when it all dies, they'll say, "well, we made all these provisions for you", and they have in theory, but they are so onerous and restricting no-one will bother.
Oh well. That's what happens when you let the bureaucracy that regulates commercial airline operations get their claws on an innocuous hobby. They don't understand or care about the difference, and should never have been given control of this in the first place.
Thanks for highlighting the issues.
I believe they knew exactly what they were doing. Killing all birds with one stone
thanks for helping out!
Thanks for speaking up.
Thanks for the video, great points
Great video!
Chris Quad FPV checking in ✅
Thanks for sharing.
Very well said Brother 🤙🏻
Great insights
RID will be dropped as soon as either 1) pilots get physically accosted/robbed by folks with bad intentions, and/or 2) pilots en masse fly non-compliant, making enforcement of this overreach regulation essentially impossible.
I feel like a couple of people getting robbed isn't going to change anything. When has the government cared that much? I hate to admit it, but i feel like non compliance is the only way for us.
Excellent video. Thankyou for speaking up. The moment Congress made up its mind to commercialize sub 400ft class G airspace for delivery drones and air taxis was the moment our rights were infringed. This should never have been allowed to happen. These craft should have been made subject to the same rules as manned aircraft with flight above 400ft and in special corridors with the onus of safety and avoidance navigation made to be their responsibility. Extending the existing system of restricted zones for manned aircraft and UAVs was always a good simple option. GPS camera drones have, for some time been subject to geo-fencing and traceable. What more safety/security/traffic management assurance did the government need? Remote ID will never stop the criminal element from flying illegally or dangerously. And, they certainly won't have craft fitted with remote ID.
Great video bro!
Thanks for this
thanks for the video
Great video thank you.😊
The license plate idea is completely erroneous due to the fact that automobile license plate is a registration identification of ownership.
a remote identification tracking device on a radio control model airplane or quadcopter has entirely different purposes!
This law is ridiculous for so many reasons!
Good points.
I agree !!
This topic about remote ID is become trending , it's important everybody understands what remote ID is and what is going on with our hobby 👍
What I was wondering in the meantime is what if someone puts remote ID modules on taxis, vehicles and garbage cans around an airport how much would this affect the air traffic??
Great video!!
If they were cheap, it would be a great prank, just don't get caught.
I’m working with some ethical hackers to develop a device that can transmit a signal of both drone and controller location to create phantoms so it will make it harder to track a drone and said users location . Good luck finding the real person when you got 120+ phantoms
😂 Awesome!
Is there someone who can do an animation explaining why RID is ridiculous that a 5 y/o can understand so we can send it to all our congressmen?
With the greatest respect, wouldn’t it be wiser to suggest making it intelligible to 3 year olds.
The campaign might then stand a slim chance in the corridors of power
The thing is they don't care anyway
I am a Private Pilot and fly drones commercially and have on occasion come across people flying in the “wrong” locations / “unsafely” but in reality, never seen any drone being operated in a seriously “dangerous” manner. I am against oppressive over-regulation but if ONLY AUTHORITIES had access to RID, could put up with it for the heavier commercial drones being operated in shared airspace - BUT it should not apply to anything under 1kg and the details / App should NOT be accessible to the general Public.
However, I have a gut feeling that this has nothing to do with “safety” - it has everything to do with reduction of freedoms and vested commercial interests (eg delivery drone operations). Realistically, it’s an over-reaction to a “perceived” issue, similar to the disastrous government over-reaction to Covid. Where are the figures that support this RID introduction - eg how many serious injuries and how many mid-air collisions between drones and aircraft have occurred ?
Agreed. Xjet Sent me
Keep going people,
Thanks for sharing. For any hope of change we must put our face out, object and complaint loudly.
Great points and nice presentation. I think the most ridiculous example of this rules impact is / a minor, flying a handlaunch glider, weighing 251g, at a local park, is expected to comply. If you're familiar with DLG/HLG gliders, it would be pretty much impossible to fit a module to the plane, and they are hyper sensitive to weight. Total over-reach, just no educated consideration by the FAA at all.
Excellent
Thank you. I think a lot of people do not realize, that even if they don't fly any model aircraft, their property is being take away.
Can you elaborate?
@@lightbulbjim The FAA says they now own the airspace in your yard down to the grass.
If you receive a property tax bill from your local County or town, you don't own your property you're renting it from the government.
@@codemaster442 Is the FAA saying they own it, or just control it? And is this changing or is it already the case?
RFID chip for your children is next.
Yes, the point is to be able to determine the Location of the Pilot. That what it is all about. Fly sub-250 gram drones just for fun under the Recreational Exemption.
A couple of corrections. The date is September 16th 2023, and no personal information can be attained through the Remote I.D. broadcast. Law enforcement can run the unique broadcast number through the FAA database (all Remote ID aircraft and modules have to be registered to be compliant) to then identify the pilot. The big problem is broadcasting the pilot's location that anyone with an Android phone and the right app can have access to. However, they still need to be in range of the broadcast (that can chage pending on their phone's reception) and actively using said app in order to do so. What also should be considered is how uneducated the general public is not only about Remote I.D., but about all unmanned aircraft (drones, rc planes, ect.). I do dread the day when someone or some child gets mugged or worse because of a desperate criminal sees an opportunity. It might take a while and might not occur often, but it will happen.
I do not know about Part 107 but for Hobbyist, I know you can move the broadcast module between aircraft (assuming you have a remote ID module and aircraft for which that is easy enough to do).
Really think what thwre doin is a joke! For many of us... we dont fly high in sky.. thank u for helping the cause with your vid!
we'll just treat it like every other federal law.... Ignore it.
A "license plate for your drone" would be a serial number on a sticker on the side. Remote ID is more like an ankle bracelet.
Funny thing is you can fly a microlight in G classified airspace without any radio or radio ID, so the stupidity is clear as is the power grab for control.
Another thing is that many aircraft with ADSB Out fitted can frequently drop out of the tracking system for any number of reasons so flying in a remote valley will screw the whole system up.
I wish the hobby would stop saying , oh not me I fly little woops. NO ONE wants bad guys to track them down !
Everyone pic a date and time. We all turn on our remote ID at the same time and overload the system.
it doesn't work like that. and that's why the gov takes your freedoms from you....because you're not smart enough to know what is happening.
Thanks for your comment
oldguyFPV says; There is no constitutional authority for the establishment of the FAA. The FAA is clearly in violation of 10th Amendment of the US Constitution and mirrors the 6th plank of the Communist Manifesto.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is an unconstitutional governmental body that unlawfully exercises pretended powers not authorized by the US Constitution to regulate all aspects of civil aviation in the United States as well as its surrounding international waters. The FAA, as it pertains to a United States citizen, violates the entire Bill of Rights, in that it denies due process of law to a private citizen who owns and flies a drone.
No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law! "All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void." Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)
"When rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them." Miranda vs. Arizona, 384 US 436 p. 491.
"An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed." Norton vs. Shelby County 118 US 425 p. 442
The FAA gets its unconstitutional authority from the United Nations. The UN has no jurisdiction over anything, especially the United States! The UN treaty does not supersede the US Constitution! No US Citizen is bound to its "pretended" legislation!!! The Constitution of the United States does not grant Congress any authority to place its law making powers in the hands of any other branch of government, nor does it permit Congress to delegate that power to a governing body that has been created pursuant to the treaty clause of Article VI of the United States Constitution.
"There is nothing in this language which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggest such a result. . . . It would be manifestly contrary to the objections of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights - let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition - to construe Article VI as permitting the United State to exercise power under an international agreement (United Nations Charter) without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by Article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the Executive or by the Executive and Senate combined. Reid vs. Covert, 354 US 1, 1 L ed 2d 1148, 77 S Ct 1222.
On the other hand, unlike citizens, corporations can be standardized and regulated by the government. One, because the government is their creator and two, they effect a public interest. Citizens are protected by the Bill of Rights and are free to explore their hobby, free from any governmental interference. As long as a person does not violate anyone's life, liberty or property while engaged in the enjoyment of their hobby, government is forbidden from interfering with that private activity.
You are not going to stop the FAA until you start looking at this issue from a constitutional due process standpoint. One example, and there are many more, is Remote ID. Remote ID violates the 5th Amendment of the Bill of Rights, in that it requires a private citizen to witness against themselves by collecting and submitting evidence to government that can and will be used against them in any criminal prosecution. The government cannot pass a law that places a citizen in a position that would force that citizen to wave a constitutionally protected right, the right to witness against themselves, in order to exercise the constitutional right to use the public airways. "We find it intolerable that one constitutional right should have to be surrendered in order to assert another." Simmons vs US, 390 US 389. The airways are a public easement. We all have a constitutionally protected right to use them. The airways belong to all of us. As long as a private citizen flies their property (drone) in a manner that does violate the life, liberty or property of another, that person does not have to get governments permission to do so. In the event that a person flying a drone does violate the rights of another person, we have the "Bill of Rights" and due process of law to settle the issue.
Due to the scope, I doubt this rule survives the recent EPA case if challenged in court.
tell it!!
Outside of a FRIA the pilot needs one transponder that can be moved from craft to craft. OK for fixed-wing but on small quads I can't see that working and so far I have only seen one transponder that would be small enough for quads but it's $80.00+ and it's in Europe.
I believe this will be a cluster foxtrot come September..
100 % ........ xjet !!!
No... Recreational flyers can have a single RID. Being honest, no one is using a whoop for 107 flights, no one really will need a RID on anything 250 grams or less. You are correct, a lot of people are not in the loop that this is coming, it is important to provide them solid information. My Take - NOTE: Don't take me wrong, not wanting to lay this over on camera drone operators. These devices are already being RID enabled. Its not their fault a newbie real estate agent or ambulance chased grabbed a camera drone, with NO prior model fight experience at all, and the Drones of today made them think they were Top Gun. Try This FAA --> Reorganize what "drones" are required to comply. Camera Drones with full access gimbals, gps, return to home, autonomous flight should comply. Has a free style or racing drone spied on a family bbq or hovered over and airport runway? No. Fixed camera facing up. Tiny Whoop? No. RC Fixed wing planes with simple radio electronics? No. Un powered RC Gliders / Slope Soar / Thermal Gliders? No. RC Heli with standard flight electronics? No. RC Paragliders? No. 1 pound RC Foamy plane? No. All that have been classified as "drones" are not always true drones, nor do they have the ability to be bad actors as drones. First was "voluntary registrations" then mandatory registration". Then there was education that was going to save everyone. Then there was apps that would make it safer. Then there was Network RID, then broadcast RID, but network RID is still not dead and keeps coming up. This was totally a poor risk assessment sold on fear, media drama, and movie DEATH DRONES.... based on NO DEATHS. Then an overbearing engineered plan created by the committees of Full Access Camera Gimbal GPS Autonomous Flight Drone Manufactures and Lobbyists that have money and access to congress and the FAA. What could possibly go wrong? Make the punishment fit the crime? Full Access Camera Gimbal GPS Autonomous Flight Drone have shown up at Airports, back yard bbqs, your daughters bedroom window, sports domes and large commercial gatherings. How about start there, get that under control, look for the "problems that may have been missed" once you are solid with the first most serious risk gap. Common sense Risk mitigation instead of a "I have a hammer and everything looks like a nail" mentality, which government 3 letter agency that WANT FUNDING do. Control ALL = easy button, more funding, broad brush paper pushing and regulations over what could or might happen.
As I understand you wouldn't need a part 107 to fly though a house because you're inside, not in FAA regulated airspace. For shots outside of a house you would need a 107. Just wanted to make that distinction.
No u don't need a 107 for outside if you use it for a business you need to take 107
@@joemck1235Assuming by his wording, "fly-through"...he means commercial work that is done indoors. Plus, I think he is also making the point if you were flying inside only, FAA has nothing to do with it. I am assuming and we all know what they say about assumptions....
@@joemck1235 very confusing comment for someone trying to correct or maybe agree with me? I can't tell the point you're trying to make.
Good video, but not "anything that flys" a free flight model with no electronics is never mentioned.
Yes, the cost of available RID’s are a little expensive, but for a recreational flyer at a designated FRIA there are hidden costs. All FRIA’s are typically AMA organizations. In order to fly at one of these locations, you will have to have a AMA membership card. There may also be an additional charge to be a member of that specific club. Yearly full AMA memberships are $85 ($75 for 65 & older). AMA also has a yearly Park Pilot membership for electric aircraft less than 2lbs and slower than 60mph. A local Oklahoma City club (TORKS) stated on their website that the city is considering charging each member a yearly $50 fee. Considering all of these facts, purchasing your own RID for $150-300 and flying elsewhere, will obviously be a cheaper option over the long haul!
I started flying control line at age 7 and have never stopped. I became an engineer in large part to my love of flying / building models and have, through the years taught and mentored so many young kids in the hobby, I literally can count them all. A number of those I did keep up with / follow to adulthood became engineers, pilots avionics related etc. But I won't be flying much longer as I can not abide this, so much for building & flying in my "golden" years, I'm 60 now so I guess I need to learn to beat that little white ball around....... crap it flies through the air, now what? Fishing, bowling..... ah tennis! Man the RC mfg's are going to miss me because I have .. er had a 5k per year hobby budget and usually all ways go over a bit (wife doesn't know). Gonna be a huge RC garage sale at my place I guess, cause I'll quit before I'll buckle under. What a shame.... so much for kids good clean / off the streets fun 😞 It pulls double duty for them, fly days & afternoons, build & repair in the evenings.
I think control line is exempt, look up the exemptions in the new remote I D guidelines
This mean I'll have to finally register my drones
I live in Japan, and in Japan, even drones weighing 100g or more are required to attach a remote ID that costs about $400. Many hobbyist drone pilots have disappeared, but vicious drone pilots who break the law still haven't disappeared.
My worry is and always has been the PUBLIC knowing my location if its law enforcement I'll accept that. You pointed out safety and your point is valid. A bigger concern is a child at a park or even a their back yard. They just made them easy targets. They're at the park by themselves the wrong type of person sees them I hate to think of what could happen. They're even unsafe at their home, the place they are to feel the safest. As far as concern for me I don't need a ken or karen pulling up my driveway to harass me because well you know that's just how they are. Thankfully Pennsylvania's castle law extends outside your house in that case. I've already had someone track me down and threaten me without rid. I don't need something to make it easier.
😁👍
Edrone made a kidnapping point also.
👍
Will I need these for my homing pigeons?
Remote ID does NOT apply to whoops or any aircraft under 249g. I understand what they're trying to do, but it doesn't affect anything under 249g !! As a matter of fact as of today September 3, 2023 the government has delayed the implementation of Remote ID
It does apply if you are flying under part 107 rules. But as a recreationalist you are correct.
I have heard about recreational RID requirements being pushed back but I haven't found anything from the FAA stating such.
“At this time” anything that flys and weighs more than 249grams, will need remote ID. If the FAA removes the below 250g exemption, an A4 piece of paper that has been folded will need RID
Thank you for your video, if your tiny whoop is under 250 g can't you fly it in your yard since you don't need remote ID?
One could fly a whoop in thier yard without remote Id but if I were to publish the flight footage on youtube then I would need a 107 since it would be considered a benifit to my company or would be monitized then I would also need to have remote Id on my whoop.
There are some nuances to the rules but for the most part if you are a 107 pilot doing 107 things then regardless of the weight you need to transmit your remote Id.
As soon as every gun owner has to attach remote Id to their guns I will install it to my drones as well till then happy flying because it never will happen 😂
Amen
hey there i have sold most of my fixed wing fleet just kept 4 wall queens and my hubsan and dji drones im in uk this shit is comming to us ill have to make a video about id in the uk happy flying
There too, will go the interest in Electronics, together with Aviation. They, FAA, have put no thought to this.
This was introduced in UK 2 years ago and we took the CAA and Government to task and we got some major changes to the stupid naive laws.
But what if you fly bandos with no roof? Is that indoor? And what if you fly out of the allready broken window and in again. Do you need RID for that split s 😉
Lets get down to business. A once Hobbyists friend and Rep was the AMA once a true advocate for the Hobby, However over the last 15-20+ years they slowly was losing members and dollars. SO in their magazine editorials they hinted and implied a forced membership and a AMA club flying only mandate. When questioned they denied that and swore that was not their plan.
Fast forward and we saw 336 in jeopardy of being removed. A once advocate who fought for 336 suddenly refused to do so. They skipped meetings and never attended hearings and their seat was empty. Their excuse on their own site was they did not need to attend. While various entities like DHS, Drone Alliance and the DoD were against the 336 , and spoke openly to remove it, the voice of the hobby to retain it never showed up
SO Fast forward the sudden attack on the safest Aviation organization community is now demonized and called criminal .
The AMA demands forced membership and FRIA flying only and have said so now for many years as I mentioned above .
Now they have a Amendment they want installed in the FAA ReAuth Act that simple states they want Automatic CBO mandated FRIA creation and that means as the CBO's claim the FAA says everyone has to follow the CBO guides and IF that guide states IF you fly recreational you must do so in a FRIA guess what become the LAW ?...
Now to enforce that fact, go back to Rich Hanson's Op Ed in the Hill a few years back in 2018 where he basically stated, "Punish rogue pilots not rule followers" .The title sounded great , but then read his ideology about it .
He went on to say , " That anyone who flies must be of two classes. One must fly if Recreational under a CBO such as the AMA or they must fly under Part 107 ( commercial ) . He estimated that "nearly 200,000 all AMA members and 700,000 who were NOT AMA members"., He also stated UNLESS a person was flying under a CBO ( in this case the AMA ) and their standards they had to be flying Part 107 commercial and IF they did NOT have a part 107 License they were flying Illegal outside of that CBO demand. Then he stated that anyone who was NOT a AMA/CBO member was a criminal and a rogue and needed punished,
His precise words were "Rogue flyers are Part 107 violators. We must, first and foremost, make clear the need to follow Part 107 if not operating within a community-based organization ( like the AMA ). And when someone violates Part 107, he or she needs to be held accountable ."
SO now Flash Forward 2023 what do we have we have CBO's who claim we must follow their guides and suggestions OR we are flying illegally. Just like Hanson stated in 2018 . WE also have CBO's who say they are working for the Recreational community and one group lists their accomplishments on their web site that has benefited ONLY the commercial interests/Companies while even in their own words " recreational is EXCLUDED" from them all.
Now these CBO's like the AMA wants a CBO FRIA Demand which might sound nice at first glance, BUT if made law under the FAA Reauth Act allows those like the AMA, FPVFC, FTCA and others the permission to FORCE paid membership and FORCED FRIA flying only the very thing the AMA has demanded now for over 15 years and as you read in the Op ed, that is basically what Hanson stated.
These groups are now saying FRIA FIRST. So the FRIA claims is to make that a LAW by Congress that as Hanson stated in his Op Ed since only 200, 000 were CBO members the rest were not. Today we have over 2+ million operators in the US and the AMA numbers have not risen they have declined and why they want Forced membership, the FTCA has many members as does the FPVFC, BUT still the majority of Hobbyists do not belong to any CBO, and NEVER Fly in FRIA's ( Club fields ) and I might add NEVER Will. So what do they do ? They are criminals and rogues according to Hanson and they MUST BE Punished... remember that. THAT is the plan to make example of some of them to scare the rest into a FORCED CBO membership FRIA Flying Only
The community asked for a 1 kg weight increase something we gave in our NPRM comments they ( the CBO groups now ) refused to listen then and IF a FRIA flying only there is NO weight limits and in special CBO sanctioned events there is NO 400 ft AGL Altitude limits either.
So as you see as this mess progresses they are pushing hobbyists out of the skies EXCEPT in certain places they call a FRIA.
The RID is a surveillance tool much like the registration was. Registration allowed the FAA and Congress to know how many people were flying "drones" ( that means every RC TOY we fly ) and was willing to follow their suggested rules. ( take note that registration was ruled illegal by the courts, but commercial lobbyists along WITH the AMA had it slipped into a defense bill that made it the law again ) SO the next step is this Remote ID.
It is a surveillance tool to SEE and know who are those Part 107 folks who will use that Module as they to want to make the dollar and any recreational operators who do NOT fly in FRIA's
NOW guess what happens when they note WHO and WHERE You are ? Right they will MOVE and or REMOVE you from the skies.
The Commercial Drone Alliance demanded Congress to remove all Hobbyists from the skies so they can operate without interference or possible interactions with other drones. fast forward in the 2023 FAA ReAuth Act hearings those commercial Companies stated they MUST have the 400 ft AGL to the ground to operate and the UTM had to be created and mandated everyone else out of it .And currently over $23 BILLION was spent they estimate by 2030 that will be $58.7 BILLION .
Money talks and Congress only see's $$ signs and they will do what these Billion dollar companies demand and they are using the FAA and their regs/rules to make it happen even skirting the Rule/Reg process .
SO none of these CBO's are our Friends in fact they have sold us out and they have now openly admitted it and all those puzzle pieces and their sworn to secrecy claims now have been clearly Heard and seen. Their FRIA First statement and their demands to CBO automatic authority said it all . The Plan and scheme is now open for all to see and THAT is what WE need to let everyone know
Our response just do not comply is not enough anymore, NOW it must be WE BOYCOTT all these businesses, these CBO's, and any and all entities be it Hobby shops, commercial users and these YT Guru's who demand our dollars while giving over to these regulations and worse pushing them to the community.
TIME these entities take a hit on their bottom lines and they stop making money at our expense. THAT will make them and Congress the Media and everyone else take notice. Just like the Boycotts on Bud and Target stores among others.
If Walmarts, Google, UPS or Amazon and any other business tied to commercial drone use get boycotted and their business takes a Money hit they will drop their dreams of delivery services and removing us for it and air taxis and or whatever nonsense they have claimed.
Same goes for Hobby shops who promote this stuff and individuals who make a dollar off of it and now CBO's who have openly sold us out, they especially must take the Biggest hit of all because they were suppose to represent us, instead have sided with the regulators to end us and worse force us to pay them to do so .
IF this happens without an end OUR RC Aviation HOBBY ceases to exist and the community will decline until it becomes meaningless and we lost yet another RIGHT and Freedom.
When will this Community Wake Up to these REAL facts ?
Because someone with nefarious intent will register the quad before they use it to break the law (sarcasm). Amazon and Google paid a lot of money to work on getting the skies cleared of the hobbyist so they can fly their drones without having hobby drones in their airspace they purchased.
And with about 100 recreational RC airplanes and 3 camera drones I will be unable to comply 😵💫🤠
Remote ID doesn't make a lot of sense and is somewhat unreasonable due to cost of implementation.
As a fixed wing flier, who has been flying in this sport for well over 40 years, I really consider RID a HUGE overreach. We have had a decent relationship with the FAA for over 60 years, and now (seemingly) overnight, they are heading toward destroying the sport. I have 15 aircraft of various sizes...none of which are even close to 250g, this will be a dramatic financial burden, even on the proposed cheap end of the spectrum ($200). I fly at an AMA field (the same one for 40+ years) and if it isn't designated as a FRIA, I'm pretty much done.
Does an ultralight that you can operate without any license have to have a remote I'd ..?
Keep following Bruce. We all know this will end badly
What do you recommend then?
My experience is EDF, warbirds, and helicopters. As long as I fly from my own 400 acre farm then the FAA can go pound sand expecting me to comply. Just who monitors the data and how do they do it?
I agree with most everything that you said. The only thing that I disagree with, is about the FAA not knowing that they were lumping all of us RC pilots together. This is a targeted attack on ALL RC pilots and has been since the very first time the media referred to what we fly as "drones". Since then it has been a downhill battle.😢
What program? I want to find drone people to fly with
