I'm taking their course for the part 107 test and I have already taken the on hands flight lesson. The flight lesson was better than I expected. I had talked to other companies but this seemed the best. I glad to say I was right. The course for the test is set up for you to pass it easily and theyve answered questions quickly too. I'm very happy I found them.
Wow this video may have saved me a major problem. I had no idea about registering my drone. I found out abiut the PART 107 after purchasing it and studied for that and passed it. So i thought I was good but after running across your video I am now fully registered and hope i dont have to do anything else but enjoy flying and enhancing my RUclips CHANNEL which was the only real reason I even bought the drone. Again thanks video super helpful.
hi friend i have been living in california for 2 months. if i fly dji mavic air 2 and shoot only on youtube for my channel should i register the drone as recreational flyer? 🙂
Hi there, if your videos are purely recreational, then you can register as a recreational flyer and must go through free FAA TRUST training - uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
@@wowimpuls I've used a label maker before if you have access to one. I also hand-write on a sheet of paper then use light tape to affix to the exterior.
So I just did everything covered in this video for my Mavic Air 2. I just shot video for my monetized RUclips channel with my drone. Am I able to upload that new video with drone footage now to my monetized channel? Don't I need to take a Part 107 test first? I am confused now that I have the drone registered with FAA (as shown in this video), but I was never asked to take the test.
Yes, you'll want to go through the certification process. It's pretty straightforward, more information in this video: ruclips.net/video/dH7XFcOq7dY/видео.html
It is so difficult to find information on company-specific registrations, and yesterday I went down a rabbit hole looking at Part 47 and the CARES site. Finding this video really simplified everything I needed to know in order to register on my company's behalf.
Thanks for the video. I had to add my Mavic Air 2, your video didn’t cover the remote ID part, at first I clicked standard remote ID but it would not accept the SN so I clicked No for remote ID. Does the Air2 have remote ID? Thank you.
Yes, please read this video's description/notes for more information. We recorded this video just before the FAA made some updates to the process. I'm surprised they haven't taken that question down yet.
@@uavcoach sorry, didn’t read the description but YES that answers it. So frustrating, I entered every number I could find on the box, drone and app before selecting NO. I saw this video on your site and went directly to RUclips to comment, so didn’t read the description. You guys are awesome and filled with great info. Subscribed!
I didn't know I had to do that regardless of hobby or not. But i do think that it's a good thing to keep it fun and safe for everyone. I really like my mavic air 2. Thanks for this.
Thank you for this really useful video. I intend to take my 107 soon, so I understand it's best if I just register commercially up front, but I operate under 2 business names and would use for both. Should I put both in the DBA section?
Great question - you'd be registering recreationally, which is where you get one number and can apply that number to multiple drones. No need to get each one registered separately.
I think you need to make an updated part 2 to this video as when I checked today, the recreational registration also needs the drone information serial number, etc. it is also asking me if I had the remote-id capability ... which I have to look up and figure out. Great video .. please if possible do this update so it can help people like me who are newbies.
Hi Kashif, please check out the notes in the description of this video. Sounds like you were able to figure out already, but to anyone else reading, please select "no" if asked about Remote ID capability at this time.
@@uavcoach Thank you for looking into it. I am sure it will help a lot more people who are getting into this hobby. Again thank you for the awesome work.
Appreciate the process explanation! Question for you, I just bought my drone (not registered yet), but I'm also currently studying for the Part 107 license. Do you need to have the license first before you can register a drone commercially?
Hi Lina! No, you do not need to have a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate in order to register your drone under the Part 107 rules. I'd go ahead and get it registered!
@John Tufillaro Hi John, yes there would be another $5 fee to change. I'd go ahead and register commercially. Even if you're flying recreationally, that's OK. You satisfy the registration requirement. This way, you wouldn't have to change from recreational to commercial.
Great video I just have one question if I want to use some drone footage for my RUclips channel (my drone is under 250 grams) do I need to register my drone even though I do not have the amount of subscribers needed to get paid on RUclips?
Hi Emanuel, thanks for your question. It depends on the intent of your flight. If it's pure recreation and falls under the FAA's recreational rules (www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/), then there's no need to register. If you consider your drone flights to be non-recreational, then you would need to get your drone registered. If you're unsure, we usually recommend registering. I hope this helps!
Non-Recreation also includes Religious Events/Organizations even if done for free and also filming your sister, brother, friend, cousin, etc. wedding event. Very good point in the video that if your drone is already registered Recreationally & you plan on using it commercially, you have to register that specific drone Commercially.
Yes, the FAA has done a great job clarifying their language around what 'non-recreational' means. It was confusing for a while, but it feels a lot clearer now. From their website - "Non-recreational purposes include things like taking photos to help sell a property or service, roof inspections, or taking pictures of a high school football game for the school's website. Goodwill or other non-monetary value can also be considered indirect compensation. This would include things like volunteering to use your drone to survey coastlines on behalf of a non-profit organization. Recreational flight is simply flying for fun or personal enjoyment."
@@uavcoach thank you for clarifying that. I work in civil engineering and we just like to look at areas along our beaches before a project starts. The video/pic is not sold or used for the actual client. Just for our reference. So I am assuming that is under the recreational label?
@@chrismellon127 Ooh, this is a good one. You might think recreational, but the FAA would call this non-recreational since it's being used to improve the operations of your civil engineering project. Recreational is flying PURELY for recreation. There's commercial intent here.
@@uavcoach Interesting! Thank you for clarifying that. I plan on taking my part 107 but def need to study because I am very new to flying. But now I can let our owners know this information.
"Registration" and "certification" are two different things - regardless of how you're using the drone, it needs to be registered per the guidance in this video. But I think you're asking about the Part 107 certification and whether or not you need to get your FAA Remote Pilot Certificate - short answer is yes, if you have any intention of monetizing your RUclips channel, that would be considered non-recreational in nature, so you'd want to get certified (and to register your drone under the Part 107 rules and not recreationally). Hope that makes sense!
Yes, even if you take the Part 107 exam to get your Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA, you'll still need to register your drone separately (and pay the $5 fee) through the FAADroneZone website.
? 4 U - How does one who already registered a drone for recreation,,, now want or need to move it into 107? Can it be "transferred or moved" or does it need to be cancelled and re-registered? If so, will the FAA get weirded out cause of the same serial number? Thanks much !!! And great info !!!
I have a question about registering a drone. When I purchase my drone and register my drone at first as a recreational drone flyer. Then 6 months later I decide to register for commercial for a start up business. Can I do that ? Thank You
Hi this might be a dumb question but i just registered and i cant creat a profile to take the 107 , idk if my registration number is my tracking number? If it is it wont allow me to creat the profile due to format of entry is wrong ? Plz help btw i tryied typing it in multiple ways
Hi Paul, read the description of this video for more information - you'll want to select "no" when asked if your drone is Remote ID compatible. If that's not the issue, let us know more details in the comments about exactly what you're seeing on your screen and we can help out...thanks!
I already have two drones, and want to register my 3mini pro. I know you use the same number and I just got my part 107. Do I have to do anything ? Thanks
Hi, I'm trying to figure out if I need to register under the Recreational Flyer or Part 107. I plan to fly a DJI Mavic Air 2 to capture footage when traveling and put it on social media and possibly a personal RUclips channel. Since the footage I may upload WON'T be for any organization and will ONLY be for my own personal accounts (which I don't make any profit/money with) will I be able to just register under the Recreational Flyer and NOT have to register under Part 107 and NOT take the certification test? Thank you guys, very informative video!!
Yes, this would be considered recreational use. You'll also want to go through the FAA's new recreational training that launched just yesterday! More information here: uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
@@uavcoach Awesome, thank you....Also, does all of this information and requirements for the FAA apply for European countries, or is the FAA process only for the Unites States? Could you include a link to Europe's requirements, laws/guidelines for drones if there is one? Thanks.
@@JohnsPOV1 The FAA process is only for the U.S. - yes, here is a link to our "drone laws in the EU" guide (you can scroll down to view country-specific laws as well): uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-the-european-union/
@@JohnsPOV1 Hi John, please read the notes in the description of this video for more information. The FAA really shouldn't be asking that question of pilots right now, so you'll want to select "no" when prompted.
I’m in Freetown. Sierra Leone, West Africa. I just purchased an F22 SJRC Pro 4k for recreational purposes. Do I need to register my drone? Don’t have a credit card. Any alternative payment medium? e.g. Bank transfer? Jonathan
I accidentally created a part 107 account and I'm not planning to fly for commercial purposes. Should I just register it there or make a recreational account.
If you've already paid the $5, I'd recommend keeping the commercial registration, as it satisfies the requirement to register recreationally. But if you haven't paid yet, I'd recommend registering your drone recreationally if you truly have no plans to fly it commercially.
Regarding part 107 license is it obligatory when used commercially only, not for recreation? So as long as drone is recreational up to 55 lbs doesn't need part 107 license?
Correct, Part 107 is for non-recreational use. If you're flying a drone just for recreation / fun, you would go through the TRUST process (uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/). You are correct that 55 lbs or over, and you have some other paperwork / applications to consider!
To make sure with the comments, at this moment in time, I can click on No when it asks me for a Remote ID and not put in a serial number and it still be valid? I'm applying as a commercial pilot and plan to register a Mavic Air 2.
I just bought a drone yesterday and I'm not sure what I need to start flying it. Do I need to register it like shown here and that's it? Because I've also read about the TRUST test. Do I need to register and take that test? And how do I take that test? Any info would be appreciated because I'm trying to do things right but I'm a bit confused with what I need to do.
Yes, this video was recorded prior to TRUST, which was just announced this week. Fortunately, TRUST is almost as easy as the registration process and takes about 20 minutes! You'll want to 1) register your drone per the steps in this video and 2) follow the steps on this page to take TRUST: uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
@@uavcoach awesome, thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I bought the air 2s yesterday and I have no experience so that's why I wanted to make sure I knew what I needed, I barely had the mo ey for the drone and I don't want to pay for some fines, lol. Thank you very much.
@@uavcoach hey thanks a lot. I already registered the drone and I passed the TRUST test. I haven't printed them out but I downloaded them. It appears I'm ready to start flying!!! Thanks again.
Hello again. Just bought a DJI air 2S for my business and registering it on drone zone. First thing they ask now is if the UAS or device equipped with remote identification capabilities? Since were kind of in limbo I don't know what to put here. Is my drone equipped that you know of? Thanks for your time.
Ooh, great question! This is brand new as of a few days ago. There are currently NO drones that are Remote ID equipped, so you can check the "no" box until drone manufacturer compliance evolves a bit more. It's inappropriate for the FAA to be asking this question at this time :(
If I don't have a business but want to use my drone for making music videos for my own studio which isint a business do I still need to register under 107? I am not running a drone business taking money for it im using it for my own video editing to do what I want with the video footage which I may eventually make money from said music video or something
I am registering mine right now(22May2021), it is asking IS YOUR UAS OR DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH REMOTE IDENTIFICATION (REMOTE ID) CAPABILITIES? I am registering as recreational...I have the mavic air 2...not sure if that is a yes or no?
You would mark "no" - The FAA made this change a few weeks ago. I wish they wouldn't have, as it's a bit premature and confusing for folks! Thank you for surfacing in these comments, and I'll add a note to the description of the video. Here are some more notes from Kevin Morris at the FAA - "Drone registration update: The FAA DroneZone portal has been updated to incorporate Remote ID information. The update requires a registrant to indicate if their drone is Remote ID equipped or not. Currently, there are NO drones which are equipped with Remote ID. Although there are blogs and other sources which may claim differently, the FAA has not approved any Means of Compliance (MOC) for Remote ID at this time. If a registrant selects 'Yes' to the Remote ID equipped question, they will be required to enter additional information, including a serial number. The serial number needed is NOT the drone's serial number, rather, it's the Remote ID serial number (which doesn't exist). Entering the drone's serial number will not be accepted and not allow the drone to be registered."
I think we'll need an update video soon. I just registered as recreational flyer for now as I plan on just making youtube videos with a few drone shots on my travels. On the website after i registered there was no option to add my drone model. But an authorization of some sort that requests 'operation title' (no idea what to put there as im just flying for myself) and job type of field inquiries required, such as times, days, and reasoning for your flying.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, the recreational registration process is slightly different in that you're not registering a specific model. You're paying $5 for one number that can be applied to multiple drones for a 3-year period. I believe the authorization form you're referencing is for controlled airspace authorization. That's not required for this registration process, but if you need to fly in controlled airspace, you can follow the steps in your FAA Drone Zone dashboard to request clearance.
Hello this is Javier and I have a DJI MAVIC 3 cine and I wanted to register my drone but I couldn’t, the FAA didn’t recognize my serial number and I call to DJI technical support and they told me that these drones are register automatically. I myself would like to be very certain about this. Do you know anything about this matter?
I have a quick question. I just bought the dji mavic 3. I was curious does it support the remote ID that will be required in the United States. Second if not will it be updated with firmware to support remote Id. Or will I need to get another drone.
Hi there, congrats on the DJI Mavic 3. I'm having a ton of fun with mine right now. To make a long story short, there are zero drones that are remote ID compliant at this time. When registering your drone, select "no" for now when asked about Remote ID. By September 2022, we should have more clarity from both the FAA and drone manufacturers like DJI as to what our next steps are as pilots.
Hi I have a question just bought a dji mini 3 pro to have my drone work commercially with real estate do I need to take the 107 part license or just register it with $5? Or do I need both?
What do I do now in the registration process where the FAA is asking me if my UAS has RID and it's not on the list of approved Models? I'm having a difficult time trying to contact the manufacturer for this information.
I noticed the requirement of the FAA has changed, now they require including the serial number of the remote ID, asking if your drone has a Standard Remote ID or Remote ID broadcast module. Where can I find that information, special the serial number of the remote ID?
I just purchased a mevic h6 what would I register it under if I am using it for RUclips but RUclips does not pay me yet because I am not at the requirements to monetize my videos yet.
Hi Sugo, if you plan to eventually fly it for non-recreational purposes, then I'd go ahead and register under Part 107. If you only plan to fly for fun / recreation, then I'd register it under the recreational part of your account.
I tried to register my mavix air 2 recreational and it wanted me to add a device. When I put the s/n in it said invalid number.??? Also I'm not sure if this device is equipped with remote identification capability...
I'm a little confused and hope you can clear it up. I want to get the Dji Mini 2 but a little worried and want to get a few things clear if you can. It's under the 250g registration requirement and I would be flying it for recreation. I ran across a video of someone that had one, posted videos to youtube, and because he had ads on his channel, he said he got in trouble with the FAA because even though he was only making a small amount of money, it was still considered "Commerical Use" and considered it "being used for a business for making money". If I have a youtube channel, show drone footage but no ads on that video, but ads on other videos I have without the drone, will the FAA have a problem with that ? If say I decide to get a bigger drone, or register my drone just to be safe even if it's under 250g, and register it "I fly under part 107 or as a public aircraft" it say's " ... apply for a waiver/authorization under part 107 ... " If you register the drone under that, do you have to take the part 107 testing ?
Hi Danny, thanks for reaching out. If you turn off ads for your drone-specific RUclips videos, that seems like a good, safe position to take. You can register the drone "under Part 107" if you'd like, but I would only do that if you plan at some point in the future to get your license. If you have any more questions, shoot us a note at support(at)dronepilotgroundschool(dot)com and we are happy to help.
can you register and take the exam for commercial without the drone? I havent bought yet and was planning on study and take the exam before buy the drone.
I heard you need a test for part 107 license but you didn’t do a test and I heard it costs 175$ to fly commercial but you said to register it only cost 5$ I don’t understand do you need to register the drone and get license or do you get a license when you register a drone I don’t understand
Yes, drone registration is separate from getting certified to fly commercially. More information on that process in our other video over here: ruclips.net/video/dH7XFcOq7dY/видео.html
UAV coach, I just bought my first drone, the mini 2. Obviously I’m hooked. So, I’m planning on getting the mavic 3 soon. Just recreational for now. I understand I will need to register the mavic 3 however, there is so much information and talk about remote ID and I don’t want any part of that. Has anything changed that will force me to do anything else other than just registering the mavic 3 ?
Big Jay, thanks for reaching out. No news yet re: Remote ID, but pilots won't need to start complying until September 2023. Hoping that it'll be super easy for pilots to comply.
Hi! Great video. My question Is... I bought a Dji mini 2 (249g) do i need to register it? Cause says Every drone. Even Is for recreational purposes. I want to be safe with the law. So should do it?
Their website says drones under the 250 grams weight and flown for recreation only, are not required to be registered, then it states "Drones of any size need to be registered", so which is it? All of my model aircraft and drones weigh less than 40 grams and none of them has any kind of camera, very confusing indeed.
Hi there - if you are flying for recreational purposes, then drones under 250 grams do not need to be registered. If you're flying for non-recreational purposes, the drone needs to be registered even if it is less than 250 grams. My guess is that you're flying purely for recreational purposes - registration would not be required!
I'm sorry, I have another question. I'm on the faadronzone register page now and I'm trying to add device and they ask me if my device is equipped wirh remote ID... I don't even know what that is, lol. I just opened my dji air 2s but I don't know if it has that and I want to make sure before I answer. Do you know if it does or doesn't? Thanks
So i want to fly the mavic 2s as a hobby, like filming weddings, family events, events for fun. Nothing to do with money, but my biggest concern is, if i post it on social media would that effect my recreational license?
Whether or not a flight is recreational or non-recreational isn't always about the exchange of money. The FAA has more info here - www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers - but if you're just flying for pure fun / recreation and following all the other recreational drone rules, no problem sharing those photos/videos on social media. If you had a monetized RUclips account, or your media was being used to promote any kind of service or organization or anything, that's where lines can get crossed. Hope this helps!
@@uavcoach so my other youtube channel, its just more to show my adventures for memories rather to promote my channel, i know it seems like a repetitive question but i wouldn't get fined for that correct? For non-profit purposes
@@stinkytofu75 I just updated the link. Again, it's not about profit vs. non-profit. It's about the intent of the flight. If it's for pure recreational / fun, that falls under the recreational rules laid out in the link above. Hope this helps!
When you hit the Dashboard button, the website doesn't go to my profile page. It goes to a "complete your Registration" page. I go to add the device and it says "Invalid Serial Number". I'm stuck here and I'd like to register this device. Please help!

@@amazingchannel2023 Hey Jay, there's not a blanket rule that covers all state parks across the U.S. Perhaps it was illegal where you're flying. Not true everywhere, just want to make that clear. Re: registration, I'm not really understanding your question about what the difference is. If you're asking whether or not you need to register your drone, or what the rules are / where you are and are not allowed to fly...I'd recommend reviewing this resource we put together, hope it helps >> uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-united-states-of-america/
Hi, im trying to register my dji mavic 2 zoom in a reacreational mode, however in the 2nd step, when i need to add a device, is quite different from your video. Now is asking about "Does your drone broadcast FAA Remote ID information?". what i need to choose?. Thx in advance
You need to be certified if you’re flying drones for commercial purposes - meaning making any money off of your drone flights and footage. This would include making videos for a RUclips channel that could eventually be monetized. So you need to first register your drone with the FAA for $5. Then you should pass the Part 107 test to get your license for an unmanned aircraft. Unless your drone is a toy which weighs less than 250 grams (0.55 lbs) and you never plan to monetize your channel
Thanks for the video. One question I have that has not been asked here yet. If I am starting my own business and part 107 what do I do when it says enter the serial number if I build my own quads?
Good question! Under the UAS Type drop-down, you would select 'Home Built.' With the other fields, do the best you can - under Manufacturer as an example, you could write 'Self' or put in the name of your flight control software. And under Serial Number, you could put something like '00001' if it's your first build, '00002' if it's your second build, etc.
@@uavcoach thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate you and the way you interact with your comment section is much respected. Happy flying!
Hi Nick, yes as long as you are following all the other recreational rules (www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/) - you'll want to make sure that you're not in controlled airspace and that you're not flying directly over people / moving vehicles as well. But lots of amazing drone footage shot (safely and legally) in various urban environments!
@@Chupapi_dabs It's up to the pilot to determine what "directly" over people means. You'd need to consider your specific flight path, risk tolerance, atmospheric conditions, etc.
Even if you mostly are flying recreationally, if you plan to fly even once commercially, I'd go ahead and get the drone registered commercially. Registering commercially satisfies the recreational registration requirement, so you don't have to register it both recreationally AND commercially. And you don't need to have your Part 107 certificate to register your drone commercially, but you'll want to get certified before you fly for commercial purposes. I know the order of operations here can get a bit confusing, let us know if you need clarification or have any other questions!
Just someFYI, Things must have changed since you made this video, because i attempted to register my Drone and following the "Safty Guidance" tab is now a "Inventory" tab along with a "Add Device" tab requesting the dornes info and Remot ID, before one can proceed to the payment tab.
Hi Carlos, yes please read the other comments and more specifically, the description below this video where we have added some notes. To anyone else reading this, select [no] when asked about Remote ID capabilities.
@@uavcoach random question, but I'm deciding what kind of sd card I want. Is 128 gb enough? Because I'm deciding between the less expensive (128gb) and the more expensive (1tb) sd card. But I'm going to be flying a lot so I don't know if 128 g would be enough
@@whiteobama5441 128 GB is quite a bit of space, even if you're flying a lot. Either way, you'll want to consider backup storage using hard drives or cloud storage or both. I would want to double-check this, but I'm not sure DJI officially supports storage over 64GB. I've been using a 128 GB card in my Mavic 2 Pro and have never had any issues with it, but have bever tried a 1 TB micro SD card.
I heard that you have to take a test for part 107 registration. Is this true? Also, I was only planning to fly recreationally but if I want to take it above 400 feet or past my pov, shouldn't I just go ahead and get the part 107 registration?
"Registration" and "certification" are two different things - you do NOT have to take a test to register your drone through the FAADroneZone website, but you DO have to take a test if you plan to fly under the Part 107 regulations as a commercial (AKA non-recreational) drone pilot. If you need to fly higher than 400 ft. AGL or beyond visual line of sight, then yes, at this time you would need to not only become certified under the Part 107 regulations, but you would need to apply for additional waivers.
Serious question, since my drone is under 249g, it says I don’t have to register with the FAA, because I am a recreational flyer, BUT without registering….. Can I still use LAANC?
I just bought an Air2 and plan to get my 107 but until I actually take the test can I register under recreational and later switch it to 107 registration?
Hey Dan, enjoy the Air2! If you plan to fly it commercially in the future, I'd go ahead and register it under the Part 107 rules. Even if it's registered under those rules, you can still fly the drone recreationally. If you register the drone recreationally first, then you'd have to re-register it commercially at some point. Easier to just go ahead and register commercially now!
@@uavcoach ok. I was on the FAA IACRA site and had created a profile there and thought I had to take the test first before registering it under 107. I just followed your link and was able to register it under 107. I'm still studying and plan to take the test in a few weeks. What is the IACRA applicant site for ? It's for UAS and its the FAA.gov site.
@@Weathergeekdan Ooh, yes the FAA makes this a bit more confusing than it should be. So the FAADroneZone is for registering your drones, filing airspace authorization (non-LAANC) and waiver applications, and filing incident reports. The IACRA website is for registering yourself with the FAA when going through the Part 107 certification process. Before you take your 60-question exam, you'll set up an account with IACRA, get what's called an FTN number, then use that number to book your exam. More info on IACRA in this article - www.dronepilotgroundschool.com/faa-tracking-number-ftn/
If I’m shooting a short film and I want to use a drone for landscape shots, would that count as recreational or commercial? From my understanding, it would only be commercial if I intended to make a profit off of the film.
That is correct, Levent - this would be considered a "non-recreational" flight. Let us know if you have any questions about the certification process! More information over here >> uavcoach.com/drone-pilot-ground-school-course/
Do you know if you can modify the registration once completed? Example. Go from "No" remote ID to "Yes" remote ID, later on. Or change name of Part 107 account name?
Good question, Pedro. I recall many things that you can change by hopping in to edit the account/profile information. Yes, I believe the Remote ID question can be edited in the future.
Hal, if you're flying for recreational purposes, you can use the same number on multiple drones. If you're flying for commercial purposes under the Part 107 rules, you'd need to register each drone model uniquely.
It depends on the intent of your flights, but yes, if you are uploading footage to RUclips, and your RUclips channel is either being monetized or promoting your business in any kind of way, then that would be considered "non-recreational" by the FAA and would require a Part 107 certificate.
Every time I try to register it it says invalid SN and I tried the on on the drone the one on the box and the one in the app and none of them work does anyone know why
Hi Lego Animations! Check out the description text below the video. You'll want to select "no" when asked whether or not your drone is Remote ID equipped. I know, I know. Unnecessarily confusing!
Yes, if you are just flying recreationally, there's a quick (and free) certification process required by the FAA.

Hi Thomas, you can register your drone whenever you'd like - either before you get a Part 107 certificate, or after. When you register doesn't matter, just as long as you do it (and put the registration number on the drone) prior to flying.
I don’t have a business yet, could I eventually update the account name to my business name when I get one? - I’m a real estate agent & I plan on shooting Real Estate videography for myself only (my listings). So could I just use my name ?
@@uavcoach would you check the box that says “Use your First and Last Name for Part 107 Account Name” in this case until you decide to change it later when you work for/start a business?

I'm taking their course for the part 107 test and I have already taken the on hands flight lesson. The flight lesson was better than I expected. I had talked to other companies but this seemed the best. I glad to say I was right. The course for the test is set up for you to pass it easily and theyve answered questions quickly too. I'm very happy I found them.
That's awesome, congrats on passing and glad you enjoyed our course! Blue skies and safe flying!
Wow this video may have saved me a major problem. I had no idea about registering my drone. I found out abiut the PART 107 after purchasing it and studied for that and passed it. So i thought I was good but after running across your video I am now fully registered and hope i dont have to do anything else but enjoy flying and enhancing my RUclips CHANNEL which was the only real reason I even bought the drone. Again thanks video super helpful.
Glad you found us! Yes, fortunately the registration process is pretty easy. And congrats on passing the FAA Part 107 certification exam!
Incredibly helpful video with everything I need to know in one place. This saved me so much time, you're doing God's work man, appreciate you
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful!
hi friend i have been living in california for 2 months. if i fly dji mavic air 2 and shoot only on youtube for my channel should i register the drone as recreational flyer? 🙂
Hi there, if your videos are purely recreational, then you can register as a recreational flyer and must go through free FAA TRUST training - uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
@@uavcoach thank you very much friend! there is only one question left - where can I get the sticker with the number on the drone?🙂
@@wowimpuls I've used a label maker before if you have access to one. I also hand-write on a sheet of paper then use light tape to affix to the exterior.
So I just did everything covered in this video for my Mavic Air 2. I just shot video for my monetized RUclips channel with my drone. Am I able to upload that new video with drone footage now to my monetized channel? Don't I need to take a Part 107 test first? I am confused now that I have the drone registered with FAA (as shown in this video), but I was never asked to take the test.
Yes, you'll want to go through the certification process. It's pretty straightforward, more information in this video: ruclips.net/video/dH7XFcOq7dY/видео.html
It is so difficult to find information on company-specific registrations, and yesterday I went down a rabbit hole looking at Part 47 and the CARES site. Finding this video really simplified everything I needed to know in order to register on my company's behalf.
I just passed the TRUST test from your website befor I found your video. So cool
Awesome, glad you found us!
Thank god its quick to get your drone registered
Yes, super easy!
So if we want to get the dji mini 2... to fly it for vacation footage for our RUclips channel is that commercial or not commercial
I just got the dji mini 2 for couple days and have the same concern as well.
Depends if youtube pays you for the video
If you are monetizing your RUclips channel, then yes, that would be considered commercial intent.
Thanks for the video. I had to add my Mavic Air 2, your video didn’t cover the remote ID part, at first I clicked standard remote ID but it would not accept the SN so I clicked No for remote ID. Does the Air2 have remote ID? Thank you.
Yes, please read this video's description/notes for more information. We recorded this video just before the FAA made some updates to the process. I'm surprised they haven't taken that question down yet.
@@uavcoach sorry, didn’t read the description but YES that answers it. So frustrating, I entered every number I could find on the box, drone and app before selecting NO. I saw this video on your site and went directly to RUclips to comment, so didn’t read the description. You guys are awesome and filled with great info. Subscribed!
I didn't know I had to do that regardless of hobby or not. But i do think that it's a good thing to keep it fun and safe for everyone. I really like my mavic air 2. Thanks for this.
Hi Brian, I love my Mavic Air 2! Blue skies and safe flying to you, thank you for taking the time to comment.
Thank you for this really useful video. I intend to take my 107 soon, so I understand it's best if I just register commercially up front, but I operate under 2 business names and would use for both. Should I put both in the DBA section?
I’m building an FPV drone myself, but the registration asks for manufacturer and model? What should I put here?
You can put "home made FPV drone" as the manufacturer. Your model could be "NA" or "001" or something like that.
I fly FPV racing drones do i have to register for each one or does one registration cover all five for recreational use?
Great question - you'd be registering recreationally, which is where you get one number and can apply that number to multiple drones. No need to get each one registered separately.
@@uavcoach Thank you.
If I have a DJI FPV Drone do I need to register that to the FAA? Thanks!
Yes, you would want to register that given that it weighs more than 250g
I think you need to make an updated part 2 to this video as when I checked today, the recreational registration also needs the drone information serial number, etc.
it is also asking me if I had the remote-id capability ... which I have to look up and figure out.
Great video .. please if possible do this update so it can help people like me who are newbies.
Hi Kashif, please check out the notes in the description of this video. Sounds like you were able to figure out already, but to anyone else reading, please select "no" if asked about Remote ID capability at this time.
@@uavcoach Thank you for looking into it. I am sure it will help a lot more people who are getting into this hobby. Again thank you for the awesome work.
Appreciate the process explanation! Question for you, I just bought my drone (not registered yet), but I'm also currently studying for the Part 107 license. Do you need to have the license first before you can register a drone commercially?
Hi Lina! No, you do not need to have a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate in order to register your drone under the Part 107 rules. I'd go ahead and get it registered!
@John Tufillaro Hi John, yes there would be another $5 fee to change. I'd go ahead and register commercially. Even if you're flying recreationally, that's OK. You satisfy the registration requirement. This way, you wouldn't have to change from recreational to commercial.
Very good video, this answers all my questions. My first drone ordered has shipped today so we are excited (we will be recreational)!
Glad it was helpful. Blue skies and safe flying, congrats on your first drone purchase!
Same here!
Great video I just have one question if I want to use some drone footage for my RUclips channel (my drone is under 250 grams) do I need to register my drone even though I do not have the amount of subscribers needed to get paid on RUclips?
Hi Emanuel, thanks for your question. It depends on the intent of your flight. If it's pure recreation and falls under the FAA's recreational rules (www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/), then there's no need to register. If you consider your drone flights to be non-recreational, then you would need to get your drone registered. If you're unsure, we usually recommend registering. I hope this helps!
@@uavcoach it did help thank you this really helped me a lot I really appreciate it!
Non-Recreation also includes Religious Events/Organizations even if done for free and also filming your sister, brother, friend, cousin, etc. wedding event.
Very good point in the video that if your drone is already registered Recreationally & you plan on using it commercially, you have to register that specific drone Commercially.
Yes, the FAA has done a great job clarifying their language around what 'non-recreational' means. It was confusing for a while, but it feels a lot clearer now. From their website - "Non-recreational purposes include things like taking photos to help sell a property or service, roof inspections, or taking pictures of a high school football game for the school's website. Goodwill or other non-monetary value can also be considered indirect compensation. This would include things like volunteering to use your drone to survey coastlines on behalf of a non-profit organization. Recreational flight is simply flying for fun or personal enjoyment."
@@uavcoach thank you for clarifying that. I work in civil engineering and we just like to look at areas along our beaches before a project starts. The video/pic is not sold or used for the actual client. Just for our reference. So I am assuming that is under the recreational label?
@@chrismellon127 Ooh, this is a good one. You might think recreational, but the FAA would call this non-recreational since it's being used to improve the operations of your civil engineering project. Recreational is flying PURELY for recreation. There's commercial intent here.
@@uavcoach Interesting! Thank you for clarifying that. I plan on taking my part 107 but def need to study because I am very new to flying. But now I can let our owners know this information.
I bought a mini se, i think it weights under, do I still need to register?
Great video 👍🏼.... what if I make just a review video of a drone on RUclips do I need the 107 registration?
"Registration" and "certification" are two different things - regardless of how you're using the drone, it needs to be registered per the guidance in this video. But I think you're asking about the Part 107 certification and whether or not you need to get your FAA Remote Pilot Certificate - short answer is yes, if you have any intention of monetizing your RUclips channel, that would be considered non-recreational in nature, so you'd want to get certified (and to register your drone under the Part 107 rules and not recreationally). Hope that makes sense!
Ok one more question I see that there’s people that are take a 107 exam, is it still necessary if I just pay the $5 dollars fee shown in you video ?
Yes, even if you take the Part 107 exam to get your Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA, you'll still need to register your drone separately (and pay the $5 fee) through the FAADroneZone website.
I have a question I have already registered with the FAA for one drone I bought another one do I have to re-register or do I use the same numbers
If flying recreationally, you can use the same number. If flying commercially, you need to register the new drone.
Not sure if I screwed up. Paid 5 bucks for recreational then 5 for non.
Now I have to different faa I'd numbers... confused...
? 4 U - How does one who already registered a drone for recreation,,, now want or need to move it into 107?
Can it be "transferred or moved" or does it need to be cancelled and re-registered? If so, will the FAA get weirded out cause of the same serial number?
Thanks much !!! And great info !!!
I have a question about registering a drone. When I purchase my drone and register my drone at first as a recreational drone flyer. Then 6 months later I decide to register for commercial for a start up business. Can I do that ? Thank You
Hi this might be a dumb question but i just registered and i cant creat a profile to take the 107 , idk if my registration number is my tracking number? If it is it wont allow me to creat the profile due to format of entry is wrong ? Plz help btw i tryied typing it in multiple ways
Hi Paul, read the description of this video for more information - you'll want to select "no" when asked if your drone is Remote ID compatible. If that's not the issue, let us know more details in the comments about exactly what you're seeing on your screen and we can help out...thanks!
If I’m flying just inside a drone do I need to register the drone
I just got my DJI mini 3 pro. Do I need to register for FAA. Just use for personal and family trip. Thank you
Technically, you don't have to register since it's under 250g and just being used for recreational purposes.
I already have two drones, and want to register my 3mini pro. I know you use the same number and I just got my part 107. Do I have to do anything ? Thanks
Hi, I'm trying to figure out if I need to register under the Recreational Flyer or Part 107. I plan to fly a DJI Mavic Air 2 to capture footage when traveling and put it on social media and possibly a personal RUclips channel. Since the footage I may upload WON'T be for any organization and will ONLY be for my own personal accounts (which I don't make any profit/money with) will I be able to just register under the Recreational Flyer and NOT have to register under Part 107 and NOT take the certification test?
Thank you guys, very informative video!!
Yes, this would be considered recreational use. You'll also want to go through the FAA's new recreational training that launched just yesterday! More information here: uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
@@uavcoach Awesome, thank you....Also, does all of this information and requirements for the FAA apply for European countries, or is the FAA process only for the Unites States? Could you include a link to Europe's requirements, laws/guidelines for drones if there is one? Thanks.
@@JohnsPOV1 The FAA process is only for the U.S. - yes, here is a link to our "drone laws in the EU" guide (you can scroll down to view country-specific laws as well): uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-the-european-union/
@@uavcoach Do DJI drones have a remote ID that I need to include on the registration, is it necessary?
@@JohnsPOV1 Hi John, please read the notes in the description of this video for more information. The FAA really shouldn't be asking that question of pilots right now, so you'll want to select "no" when prompted.

How about updating my $5 rec license with a replacement drone ID?
I’m in Freetown. Sierra Leone, West Africa. I just purchased an F22 SJRC Pro 4k for recreational purposes. Do I need to register my drone?
Don’t have a credit card. Any alternative payment medium? e.g. Bank transfer?
Jonathan
I accidentally created a part 107 account and I'm not planning to fly for commercial purposes. Should I just register it there or make a recreational account.
If you've already paid the $5, I'd recommend keeping the commercial registration, as it satisfies the requirement to register recreationally. But if you haven't paid yet, I'd recommend registering your drone recreationally if you truly have no plans to fly it commercially.
Regarding part 107 license is it obligatory when used commercially only, not for recreation? So as long as drone is recreational up to 55 lbs doesn't need part 107 license?
Correct, Part 107 is for non-recreational use. If you're flying a drone just for recreation / fun, you would go through the TRUST process (uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/). You are correct that 55 lbs or over, and you have some other paperwork / applications to consider!
To make sure with the comments, at this moment in time, I can click on No when it asks me for a Remote ID and not put in a serial number and it still be valid? I'm applying as a commercial pilot and plan to register a Mavic Air 2.
Nevermind. I ended up just clicking No and put in my drone serial number.
Correct! You can put in "No" at this time.
I’m glad i ran across this gem of a video! Very helpful, thank you. I liked, and of course subscribed.
Glad you found the video helpful! Blue skies and safe flying!
I just bought a drone yesterday and I'm not sure what I need to start flying it. Do I need to register it like shown here and that's it? Because I've also read about the TRUST test. Do I need to register and take that test? And how do I take that test? Any info would be appreciated because I'm trying to do things right but I'm a bit confused with what I need to do.
Yes, this video was recorded prior to TRUST, which was just announced this week. Fortunately, TRUST is almost as easy as the registration process and takes about 20 minutes! You'll want to 1) register your drone per the steps in this video and 2) follow the steps on this page to take TRUST: uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
@@uavcoach awesome, thanks a lot. I appreciate it. I bought the air 2s yesterday and I have no experience so that's why I wanted to make sure I knew what I needed, I barely had the mo ey for the drone and I don't want to pay for some fines, lol. Thank you very much.
@@iamapigeyedtraitorthatisin1319 You're welcome! Blue skies and safe flying to youl
@@uavcoach yes sir!!!
@@uavcoach hey thanks a lot. I already registered the drone and I passed the TRUST test. I haven't printed them out but I downloaded them. It appears I'm ready to start flying!!! Thanks again.
Hello again. Just bought a DJI air 2S for my business and registering it on drone zone. First thing they ask now is if the UAS or device equipped with remote identification capabilities? Since were kind of in limbo I don't know what to put here. Is my drone equipped that you know of? Thanks for your time.
Ooh, great question! This is brand new as of a few days ago. There are currently NO drones that are Remote ID equipped, so you can check the "no" box until drone manufacturer compliance evolves a bit more. It's inappropriate for the FAA to be asking this question at this time :(
@@uavcoach perfect thank you very much once again. Completely agree with you on that what a way to confuse someone. Happy flying!
If I don't have a business but want to use my drone for making music videos for my own studio which isint a business do I still need to register under 107?
I am not running a drone business taking money for it im using it for my own video editing to do what I want with the video footage which I may eventually make money from said music video or something
I am registering mine right now(22May2021), it is asking IS YOUR UAS OR DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH REMOTE IDENTIFICATION (REMOTE ID) CAPABILITIES? I am registering as recreational...I have the mavic air 2...not sure if that is a yes or no?
You would mark "no" - The FAA made this change a few weeks ago. I wish they wouldn't have, as it's a bit premature and confusing for folks! Thank you for surfacing in these comments, and I'll add a note to the description of the video. Here are some more notes from Kevin Morris at the FAA - "Drone registration update: The FAA DroneZone portal has been updated to incorporate Remote ID information. The update requires a registrant to indicate if their drone is Remote ID equipped or not. Currently, there are NO drones which are equipped with Remote ID. Although there are blogs and other sources which may claim differently, the FAA has not approved any Means of Compliance (MOC) for Remote ID at this time. If a registrant selects 'Yes' to the Remote ID equipped question, they will be required to enter additional information, including a serial number. The serial number needed is NOT the drone's serial number, rather, it's the Remote ID serial number (which doesn't exist). Entering the drone's serial number will not be accepted and not allow the drone to be registered."
I think we'll need an update video soon. I just registered as recreational flyer for now as I plan on just making youtube videos with a few drone shots on my travels. On the website after i registered there was no option to add my drone model. But an authorization of some sort that requests 'operation title' (no idea what to put there as im just flying for myself) and job type of field inquiries required, such as times, days, and reasoning for your flying.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, the recreational registration process is slightly different in that you're not registering a specific model. You're paying $5 for one number that can be applied to multiple drones for a 3-year period. I believe the authorization form you're referencing is for controlled airspace authorization. That's not required for this registration process, but if you need to fly in controlled airspace, you can follow the steps in your FAA Drone Zone dashboard to request clearance.
Hello this is Javier and I have a DJI MAVIC 3 cine and I wanted to register my drone but I couldn’t, the FAA didn’t recognize my serial number and I call to DJI technical support and they told me that these drones are register automatically. I myself would like to be very certain about this. Do you know anything about this matter?
Do I need to put the model and the serial number? When I register it ask me so I put my dji mavic air 2 then pay
Hi Bruce, yes when you are registering your drone, you'll be asked to put in some info.
I have a quick question. I just bought the dji mavic 3. I was curious does it support the remote ID that will be required in the United States. Second if not will it be updated with firmware to support remote Id. Or will I need to get another drone.
Hi there, congrats on the DJI Mavic 3. I'm having a ton of fun with mine right now. To make a long story short, there are zero drones that are remote ID compliant at this time. When registering your drone, select "no" for now when asked about Remote ID. By September 2022, we should have more clarity from both the FAA and drone manufacturers like DJI as to what our next steps are as pilots.
What about the husban Nino 2+ drone what do I register that under
Hi Bertrell, are you flying it for pure recreational purposes? Or is there any kind of non-recreational / commercial intent?
Thanks! That really helped me out! Watching from Central Texas
Glad it helped, Kevin!
Hi I have a question just bought a dji mini 3 pro to have my drone work commercially with real estate do I need to take the 107 part license or just register it with $5? Or do I need both?
You'd need both your Part 107 license AND also to register your drone commercially for $5.
do you not need serial numbers for a recreational registration?
Can you register your drone as recreational and then switch it to 107 afterwards..? Just bought a DJI Mavic pro 2.
While you can't "switch" the registration, you can reregister under 107 pretty easily!
@@uavcoach so have dual registration. Rec and 107. Awesome! Thanks and love the channel.
What do I do now in the registration process where the FAA is asking me if my UAS has RID and it's not on the list of approved Models? I'm having a difficult time trying to contact the manufacturer for this information.
Which drone do you have?
I noticed the requirement of the FAA has changed, now they require including the serial number of the remote ID, asking if your drone has a Standard Remote ID or Remote ID broadcast module. Where can I find that information, special the serial number of the remote ID?
Hi Carlos, we're working on a new video...check out the description text in this video for more info!
I just purchased a mevic h6 what would I register it under if I am using it for RUclips but RUclips does not pay me yet because I am not at the requirements to monetize my videos yet.
Hi Sugo, if you plan to eventually fly it for non-recreational purposes, then I'd go ahead and register under Part 107. If you only plan to fly for fun / recreation, then I'd register it under the recreational part of your account.
If you register commercially don't you have to take the 107 test?
I tried to register my mavix air 2 recreational and it wanted me to add a device. When I put the s/n in it said invalid number.??? Also I'm not sure if this device is equipped with remote identification capability...
Hi Frank! Please read the description of this video. You'll want to select "no" when asked about Remote ID capabilities. Hope this helps!
So for recreationally purpose drone, FAA does not need the serial number? Also is there any sort of test required?
That is correct. No test for recreational pilots at this time, but that will change soon: www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=96839
I'm a little confused and hope you can clear it up.
I want to get the Dji Mini 2 but a little worried and want to get a few things clear if you can.
It's under the 250g registration requirement and I would be flying it for recreation.
I ran across a video of someone that had one, posted videos to youtube, and because he had ads on his channel, he said he got in trouble with the FAA because even though he was only making a small amount of money, it was still considered "Commerical Use" and considered it "being used for a business for making money".
If I have a youtube channel, show drone footage but no ads on that video, but ads on other videos I have without the drone, will the FAA have a problem with that ?
If say I decide to get a bigger drone, or register my drone just to be safe even if it's under 250g, and register it "I fly under part 107 or as a public aircraft" it say's " ... apply for a waiver/authorization under part 107 ... "
If you register the drone under that, do you have to take the part 107 testing ?
Hi Danny, thanks for reaching out. If you turn off ads for your drone-specific RUclips videos, that seems like a good, safe position to take. You can register the drone "under Part 107" if you'd like, but I would only do that if you plan at some point in the future to get your license. If you have any more questions, shoot us a note at support(at)dronepilotgroundschool(dot)com and we are happy to help.
If I'm just using my under 249 gram or over drone as recreational to record my family, is that legal?
Yep! Make sure you go through the FAA's required TRUST training. More information over here >> uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
can you register and take the exam for commercial without the drone? I havent bought yet and was planning on study and take the exam before buy the drone.
Yep! You don't need a drone to register or take the exam.
I heard you need a test for part 107 license but you didn’t do a test and I heard it costs 175$ to fly commercial but you said to register it only cost 5$ I don’t understand do you need to register the drone and get license or do you get a license when you register a drone I don’t understand
Yes, drone registration is separate from getting certified to fly commercially. More information on that process in our other video over here: ruclips.net/video/dH7XFcOq7dY/видео.html
Hey, great video and details but how will people know I'm registered and have my license?
One question, can I still use FAA TO REGISTER IN trinidad and Tobago?
Here's our page - uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-trinidad-and-tobago/
I hope this helps!
I want to use a drone for fishing. Is this recreational use?
I assume this information is the same for over .55lb rc aircraft that I fly from my own property or the RC club airfield?
Yes, you'd be registering under the "Exception for Recreational Flyers" on the FAADroneZone website.
UAV coach, I just bought my first drone, the mini 2. Obviously I’m hooked. So, I’m planning on getting the mavic 3 soon. Just recreational for now. I understand I will need to register the mavic 3 however, there is so much information and talk about remote ID and I don’t want any part of that. Has anything changed that will force me to do anything else other than just registering the mavic 3 ?
Big Jay, thanks for reaching out. No news yet re: Remote ID, but pilots won't need to start complying until September 2023. Hoping that it'll be super easy for pilots to comply.
Hi! Great video. My question Is... I bought a Dji mini 2 (249g) do i need to register it? Cause says Every drone. Even Is for recreational purposes. I want to be safe with the law. So should do it?
If you're just flying recreationally, you don't need to register it since it weighs under 250g.
@@uavcoach Thanks a Lot!
Their website says drones under the 250 grams weight and flown for recreation only, are not required to be registered, then it states "Drones of any size need to be registered", so which is it?
All of my model aircraft and drones weigh less than 40 grams and none of them has any kind of camera, very confusing indeed.
Hi there - if you are flying for recreational purposes, then drones under 250 grams do not need to be registered. If you're flying for non-recreational purposes, the drone needs to be registered even if it is less than 250 grams. My guess is that you're flying purely for recreational purposes - registration would not be required!
I'm sorry, I have another question. I'm on the faadronzone register page now and I'm trying to add device and they ask me if my device is equipped wirh remote ID... I don't even know what that is, lol. I just opened my dji air 2s but I don't know if it has that and I want to make sure before I answer. Do you know if it does or doesn't? Thanks
Please read the extra notes in this video's description! You'll want to select "no" for that question.
@@uavcoach yes thank you that's what I answered for that question. Once again, thank you, you explained it very well and made it easy.
Do I have to pay the $5 dollars for each done I have, or does that $5 dollars covers all my drones?
So i want to fly the mavic 2s as a hobby, like filming weddings, family events, events for fun. Nothing to do with money, but my biggest concern is, if i post it on social media would that effect my recreational license?
Whether or not a flight is recreational or non-recreational isn't always about the exchange of money. The FAA has more info here - www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers - but if you're just flying for pure fun / recreation and following all the other recreational drone rules, no problem sharing those photos/videos on social media. If you had a monetized RUclips account, or your media was being used to promote any kind of service or organization or anything, that's where lines can get crossed. Hope this helps!

@@amazingchannel2023 Hey Jay, there's not a blanket rule that covers all state parks across the U.S. Perhaps it was illegal where you're flying. Not true everywhere, just want to make that clear. Re: registration, I'm not really understanding your question about what the difference is. If you're asking whether or not you need to register your drone, or what the rules are / where you are and are not allowed to fly...I'd recommend reviewing this resource we put together, hope it helps >> uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-united-states-of-america/
Hi, im trying to register my dji mavic 2 zoom in a reacreational mode, however in the 2nd step, when i need to add a device, is quite different from your video. Now is asking about "Does your drone broadcast FAA Remote ID information?". what i need to choose?. Thx in advance
Hi Ferran, check the notes in the description of this video. You'll want to choose "no" for that answer.
@@uavcoach you are right :) thx for your fast reply. Have a nice day
Have a question, making videos on RUclips what do i need to do?
You need to be certified if you’re flying drones for commercial purposes - meaning making any money off of your drone flights and footage. This would include making videos for a RUclips channel that could eventually be monetized. So you need to first register your drone with the FAA for $5. Then you should pass the Part 107 test to get your license for an unmanned aircraft. Unless your drone is a toy which weighs less than 250 grams (0.55 lbs) and you never plan to monetize your channel
Thanks for the video. One question I have that has not been asked here yet. If I am starting my own business and part 107 what do I do when it says enter the serial number if I build my own quads?
Good question! Under the UAS Type drop-down, you would select 'Home Built.' With the other fields, do the best you can - under Manufacturer as an example, you could write 'Self' or put in the name of your flight control software. And under Serial Number, you could put something like '00001' if it's your first build, '00002' if it's your second build, etc.
@@uavcoach thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate you and the way you interact with your comment section is much respected. Happy flying!
As a recreational flyer can I walk around the city flying the drone as long as it’s in sight?
Hi Nick, yes as long as you are following all the other recreational rules (www.faa.gov/uas/recreational_fliers/) - you'll want to make sure that you're not in controlled airspace and that you're not flying directly over people / moving vehicles as well. But lots of amazing drone footage shot (safely and legally) in various urban environments!
@@uavcoach thank you!& what do you mean flying directly?
@@Chupapi_dabs It's up to the pilot to determine what "directly" over people means. You'd need to consider your specific flight path, risk tolerance, atmospheric conditions, etc.
If I register my drone commercial do I need to get certified? I’m planning on mostly using it recreational.
Even if you mostly are flying recreationally, if you plan to fly even once commercially, I'd go ahead and get the drone registered commercially. Registering commercially satisfies the recreational registration requirement, so you don't have to register it both recreationally AND commercially. And you don't need to have your Part 107 certificate to register your drone commercially, but you'll want to get certified before you fly for commercial purposes. I know the order of operations here can get a bit confusing, let us know if you need clarification or have any other questions!
Just someFYI, Things must have changed since you made this video, because i attempted to register my Drone and following the "Safty Guidance" tab is now a "Inventory" tab along with a "Add Device" tab requesting the dornes info and Remot ID, before one can proceed to the payment tab.
Hi Carlos, yes please read the other comments and more specifically, the description below this video where we have added some notes. To anyone else reading this, select [no] when asked about Remote ID capabilities.
How are were do I take the test just fly for recreation
Hi Mike, you can take it over here - uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
Thanks :) this will be great for when my mavic 2 pro arrives!
Great model, blue skies and safe flying to you, Gavin!
@@uavcoach random question, but I'm deciding what kind of sd card I want. Is 128 gb enough? Because I'm deciding between the less expensive (128gb) and the more expensive (1tb) sd card. But I'm going to be flying a lot so I don't know if 128 g would be enough
@@whiteobama5441 128 GB is quite a bit of space, even if you're flying a lot. Either way, you'll want to consider backup storage using hard drives or cloud storage or both. I would want to double-check this, but I'm not sure DJI officially supports storage over 64GB. I've been using a 128 GB card in my Mavic 2 Pro and have never had any issues with it, but have bever tried a 1 TB micro SD card.
@@uavcoach I will probably go with 128 gb, as long as it works fine. Thanks!
I heard that you have to take a test for part 107 registration. Is this true? Also, I was only planning to fly recreationally but if I want to take it above 400 feet or past my pov, shouldn't I just go ahead and get the part 107 registration?
"Registration" and "certification" are two different things - you do NOT have to take a test to register your drone through the FAADroneZone website, but you DO have to take a test if you plan to fly under the Part 107 regulations as a commercial (AKA non-recreational) drone pilot. If you need to fly higher than 400 ft. AGL or beyond visual line of sight, then yes, at this time you would need to not only become certified under the Part 107 regulations, but you would need to apply for additional waivers.
@@uavcoach Ok, thank you so much for the help!
Serious question, since my drone is under 249g, it says I don’t have to register with the FAA, because I am a recreational flyer, BUT without registering….. Can I still use LAANC?
Craig, great question. Yes, you can still use LAANC authorization as a recreational flyer with an unregistered drone.
@@uavcoach thank you very much!
I just bought an Air2 and plan to get my 107 but until I actually take the test can I register under recreational and later switch it to 107 registration?
Hey Dan, enjoy the Air2! If you plan to fly it commercially in the future, I'd go ahead and register it under the Part 107 rules. Even if it's registered under those rules, you can still fly the drone recreationally. If you register the drone recreationally first, then you'd have to re-register it commercially at some point. Easier to just go ahead and register commercially now!
@@uavcoach ok. I was on the FAA IACRA site and had created a profile there and thought I had to take the test first before registering it under 107. I just followed your link and was able to register it under 107. I'm still studying and plan to take the test in a few weeks.
What is the IACRA applicant site for ? It's for UAS and its the FAA.gov site.
@@Weathergeekdan Ooh, yes the FAA makes this a bit more confusing than it should be. So the FAADroneZone is for registering your drones, filing airspace authorization (non-LAANC) and waiver applications, and filing incident reports. The IACRA website is for registering yourself with the FAA when going through the Part 107 certification process. Before you take your 60-question exam, you'll set up an account with IACRA, get what's called an FTN number, then use that number to book your exam. More info on IACRA in this article - www.dronepilotgroundschool.com/faa-tracking-number-ftn/
@@uavcoach yes. I have my FTN number and acct all setup. Now I just need to finish studying and find a local center to go to. Thanks!
So I shouldn't have to register my mavic mini 2 if I will just be using it recreationally?
That is correct, but you'll still need to go through the FAA TRUST training - uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/
@@uavcoach thank you
When registering commercially, under the name part, I've yet to have a company name, what should I write in that field?
You can just put your first and last name!
Thank you now I know how to register my drone
Good stuff! Thanks for watching.
If I’m shooting a short film and I want to use a drone for landscape shots, would that count as recreational or commercial? From my understanding, it would only be commercial if I intended to make a profit off of the film.
That is correct, Levent - this would be considered a "non-recreational" flight. Let us know if you have any questions about the certification process! More information over here >> uavcoach.com/drone-pilot-ground-school-course/
So am I suppose to put the registration number on the drone itself?
Yes, that is correct. In a way that the number is visible without having to remove the battery.
@@uavcoach Thanks so much! I am all set to fly sir!
Thanks,I am thinking about getting a drone and your information was very useful
Glad it was helpful, Haroo!
Do you know if you can modify the registration once completed? Example. Go from "No" remote ID to "Yes" remote ID, later on. Or change name of Part 107 account name?
Good question, Pedro. I recall many things that you can change by hopping in to edit the account/profile information. Yes, I believe the Remote ID question can be edited in the future.
Do you need to register each drone separately or can you use the same registration # on multiple drones?
Hal, if you're flying for recreational purposes, you can use the same number on multiple drones. If you're flying for commercial purposes under the Part 107 rules, you'd need to register each drone model uniquely.
I heard if you don’t register your drone commercial (part 107) and use the video for RUclips you can be fined..?
It depends on the intent of your flights, but yes, if you are uploading footage to RUclips, and your RUclips channel is either being monetized or promoting your business in any kind of way, then that would be considered "non-recreational" by the FAA and would require a Part 107 certificate.
I'm from Europe. Can I fly my DJI Mini drone in the U.S.?
Yes! You just need to follow FAA regulations. You can find more information here: www.faa.gov/uas/resources/foreign_operators
I can't find the serial number on my eachine wizard
Not familiar with that specific model. Have you tried reaching out to Eachine's support team?
Every time I try to register it it says invalid SN and I tried the on on the drone the one on the box and the one in the app and none of them work does anyone know why
Hi Lego Animations! Check out the description text below the video. You'll want to select "no" when asked whether or not your drone is Remote ID equipped. I know, I know. Unnecessarily confusing!
Superb tutorial. Is there a test to take, and is there any extra registration requirements depending on the US state you are in?
Yes, if you are just flying recreationally, there's a quick (and free) certification process required by the FAA. More information here: uavcoach.com/faa-recreational-drone-training/ If you plan to fly for non-recreational purposes, that's a different certification and here's more info: uavcoach.com/drone-pilot-ground-school-course/
Do you give the test certification ?
Wow I Can register my new Mavic 3 I was so happy when he said you can register one you’re 13 because i’m turning 13 tomorrow
Hello, UAV Coach,
Do I need to sign the Part 107 Waivers & Airspace Authorizations before I get my license? Or before I register it? Thank you!
Hi Thomas, you can register your drone whenever you'd like - either before you get a Part 107 certificate, or after. When you register doesn't matter, just as long as you do it (and put the registration number on the drone) prior to flying.
@@uavcoach is the part 107 certificate mandatory?
@@chrisbland5406 Only if you are flying a drone for non-recreational purposes.
I don’t have a business yet, could I eventually update the account name to my business name when I get one?
- I’m a real estate agent & I plan on shooting Real Estate videography for myself only (my listings). So could I just use my name ?
Yes, that is correct. And instead of registering recreationally, I would go ahead and register the drone commercially under the Part 107 rules.
@@uavcoach would you check the box that says “Use your First and Last Name for Part 107 Account Name” in this case until you decide to change it later when you work for/start a business?
