Thanks so much Stew for an excellent and well presented video. CASA have already released a public consultation paper on the introduction of remote ID in Australia (you have provided the link in the description). I urge your viewers to respond to this paper with a resounding NO to Remote ID!!!!!!!!! With a perfect safety record from our recreational community, I believe we have earned the right to say that the onus of safety and avoidance should be placed squarely on the proposed commercial drone taxi and delivery operators and CASA with (as you suggest) a phone app showing the status of your proposed flying area. CASA and FAA reps will always use the arguments of how there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of drone flight breaches recorded every year. What they don't tell you is that the majority are from GPS guided camera drones. Reputable brands are now fitting tracking already. Problem solved. I will be submitting that racing quads, RC model aircraft and helicopters should be exempt due to the fact they only fly in the close vicinity of the operators (unlike GPS operated UAVs). Also that extra costs associated with Remote ID, model club fees and travel to locations will discourage our young from taking up the hobby. The model aircraft hobby ultimately provides our aviation industry with new technology and manpower. I strongly believe Remote ID will either have a detrimental effect on the industry or cause a large majority of people to break the law.
Thank you Stew, it is so important that influencers like yourself ad your voice in defence of our hobby. RID just opens the doors for far more abuse than it solves.
Hi Stew, Great video and information about Remote ID. I have been flying RC since 1971, I have been flying RC quads since 2014, and I live in the US and I have been listening to the FAA and the news that they expect us to fallow the new rules. I just don't agree with the FAA. Thanks again for the video and information about Remote ID.
Thank you stew, people like you releasing videos exposing the serious flaws with this RID legislation could make a difference in the long run. I truly believe that despite how corrupt the machine of government can be, you are voicing the concerns of thousands of hobbyists and good rc loving people out there, and that voice can’t be silenced.
Thank you so much for posting this. 🙌 I absolutely agree with you about keeping the sky’s and community safe being the priority and that that Remote ID both doesn’t achieve this, but actually may increases the risk of incident (if Broadcast Only is implemented). I’ll be providing feedback to the Department of Infrastructure in the same vein as your video! It also seems, that both this proposal is ‘negative focused’ (stating in the first sentence: ‘…and supports identifying drone operators and holding them accountable for they’re actions’… And out of touch with the industry, both commercial and recreational. We have a unique situation where we can see the impact of the US, and with community support, hopefully avoid going down the same route. Thank you once again
You said everything clearly and very well covered all the problems. Very good point if your making money with your drone you can get interrupted and lose that contract. For me it's most important if your out with your family and all of a sudden your in a hostile situation. Stew I don't know if you understand how much I appreciate you! Thank you for being for the people who love this hobby intead of being for yourself💯
mate. you dont understand how much that means to me actually. this comment made my morning. its been a tough 3 years since my channel was a peak. but thanks so much for the kind words. very very much appreciated
Great video Stew. A lot of us are up in arms about the RID and these issues with it could potentially make things worse and not better. Bruce’s aka Xjet’s ADSB device would be a better idea. Plus you’d only need one device, it could have a pilot ID code already programmed into it that can be broadcasted over your cellphone. Better idea would even integrate it within Betaflight for an OSD view for the pilot have an audible announcement for aircraft to include location direction via compass in degrees, altitude from ground level, ground speed and distance from your centered location. Also to only make information available only to the proper authorities only. The general public shouldn’t be alerted mostly due to the paranoia some individuals may have towards drones and other RC aircraft.
Bruce has the right idea out the ball into the court of maned aircraft requiring adsb system. Then you know they are coming …. That is a great approach to safety. Bruce is even putting his work out there so manufacturers can build so you don’t end up with a monopoly and high prices…. @xjet
I'v been waiting for a video like this from you. Very informative and super solid arguments! Thank you ❤ ps: I'v been dreaming in a Velocidrone track from your old flying field.
@@UAVfutures Not that I know of. I meaned I wish there was one. If I knew the coordenates I could try to make a model of it, but I don't wanna bother you asking such questions
Hi Stew, very well researched and presented. Thankyou. I think it would be a fantastic idea to put your reasoning and presentation skills to the subject of fpv and situational awareness and the ridiculous stance that CASA have taken by outlawing fpv in Australia. A mythbusters style approach could be very entertaining as well.
Imagine the uproar from the general public if the proposal was their registration plates broadcasting their vehicle's speed/location to anyone with the app whenever they're driving. If hobby drones killed on the same scale as vehicles do on roads I could see the need for RID, but they don't.
The "Drone Tag Beacon" costs A$468. The "Drone Beacon dB120" costs A$290. The "Drone Tag BS" costs A$234 (All landed in Australia with GST). It is totally unreasonable to expect a hobbyist to add a $300 module to a model aircraft costing $75.
This is basically one of the videos I was going to make and have been working on to put on my main channel. I plan on making several videos. I was going to go through the same RID objectives and make all the same points. But, there are a lot of people out here harassing those making these videos that are saying the same things that others have said. To those doing the harassing about "copying" other youtubers on this subject... This isn't about infringement of others' content. This is about bringing awareness to the public of how insanely ridiculous and damaging RID is to all aspects of aviation and safety. The more videos out here, and the more people making these videos, the more awareness it brings to the public. It is about saving the hobby and the future of aviation as a whole.
I appreciate your feedback regarding remote ID and the FAA. It's crucial to have open conversations about these topics to ensure a balanced understanding.
Totally agree, Stew! Just the quads you are using to explain are under 250gr which I believe they make them exempt of this regulation (unless you plan to use them commercially, which will probably be your case anyway). Apart from that, nice video!! Keep them coming!!!
RID is also on a different Frequency/Spectrum as to ADS-B that manned Aviation use, so how this going to mitigate potential collisions, and know who is where, as they state? Well said Stew, and for bringing this up.
Xjet and Stew have been around a long time,xjet is a couple years older than me, but in better shape, and much smarter. Wish I had a tenth of his knowledge and I was a Md. State board certified in my profession knucklehead and I am with these men.
Guess I'm going to be an outlaw, Prisoner: I murdered 10 people and a puppy what are you in for mate? Me: Flying my tiny whoop in m backyard without requesting permission for take off.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to ask your approach to flying fpv here in Aus? My understanding is that CASA only allow it if your a member of the MAAA (model aircraft association) flying it at one of their sites, or if your a fully qualified RePL pilot flying under a ReOC, with the additional BVLOS classification… but take your goggles off, you can fly the drone under normal guidelines? (I can’t quite understand how you can learn the skill if you need those quals before you can fly fpv???) Realise you may not want to answer this here, but really interested to hear how you’ve gone about this? I’m simply a bit amazed that having a spotter, who knows and understands the regulations, isn’t enough? Thanks again
I'd rather have remote id than what casa is dishing up. With cost of being commercially legal with fpv . And also the restrictions that are also involved . Way over regulated when the rest of the world can fly sub250g near ppl and crowds . We are criminals if we do anything like that.
Most aviation authorities purview around the world tends to be safety, noise, privacy and environmental concerns are not. There are other agencies that these responsibilities already fall to. No one seems to have mentioned what happens if, on a small craft, the RID module has to be mounted so close to the radio receiver that it causes interference resulting in loss of control. Surely this makes it less safe not more so. We all know that cameras with BT enabled can cause a significant loss of range if not total loss of control.
Thank you for this push back on RID. Maybe I am paranoid, but the biggest issue for me is the fact that anyone who wants to, can see what drones are nearby and exactly where they are. So the big question is why would anyone other than authorities want or need to see RID information? Answer, any anti-drone nut case or someone looking to steal some equipment. No one would be looking at that info to go and say Hi and wish you well. Seems the risk to the operator by not complying is way less than the risk of adding RID to your RC plane or quadcopter, but as I said, maybe I am paranoid.
The faa don’t give a fuck about the operators safety. Safety risk is a huge issue with this rid bull. They could have made it only available to law enforcement but no, they chose to let anyone with a smartphone see.
Us commercial fishermen have been having to use AIS for a couple decades now. They have no off switch, so we just flip the breaker. Leaving it on, will cost us thousands! Why? Because people talk, and when you offload a hundred tons of product in a two day trip, someone at the cannery is taking notes and telling their buddies who now start tracking you, and suddenly, where you were alone before, you suddenly have a half dozen competitors! When crab fishing in the Bering sea, you go to offload and when you return, you may find that someone has dropped their pots in between yours, and cut your production in half! If you want to see human greed at it's maximum, just go fishing! This even applies to those fishing for sport!
A potential benefit is “Gathering of data which will form an evidence-base to support future regulatory and policy Development”. So, imposing a regulation to gather data, to inform whether regulation is necessary? Really? This could make a great episode for Utopia.
Good one Stew, Haven't seen you for a while. Yeah you're right the only thing Remote I D does is create more problems when you take into consideration there is no infrastructure to facilitate transmission and receiving data . Most drones already have a set altitude limitation and distance limit built into them and if you fly either RC planes or drones you're flying below radar and you're not near a commercial airport because there's few to no RC clubs within a dangerous air space Obviously. Would Remote ID apply to RC boats as well because both Sydney and Brisbane airports are right next to water and so to is Wellington airport and I think Auckland as well which could be a security risk if some mad bomber wants to use a remote controlled model boat to create problems. I do believe there is paranoia virus in the Australian government and they need to be immunised with a shot of sanity . if ever there was a more fitting word for it I'd say FASCIST for what we see the government trying to implement for no good reason or cause and is becoming more like China and Russia degrading our freedom and liberties to the extent we no longer want a hobby or recreational pursuits in our free time either with family or friends or even on your own enjoying the air and your surroundings . Hmmm , I'm an old guy and I've seen things and know stuff and I vote to. Also there is no real if any evidence from CASA of any Australian drone pilots or RC plane pilots ever have their planes or drones cause an aircraft of any description to crash. But the media on the other hand have sensationalised from a minor incident which If memory serves me right was a helicopter flying under the height restriction and no aircraft crashed and no person/s were injured or killed .Where I live the local airstrip/airport has planes coming and going every week and their always flying below 500 feet just to line up for the runway so why haven't they had their licenses revoked by CASA ?? Cheers Mate keep up the good word as always.👍👍👍😎💨🏴☠☮☮☕☕💡🌈😊
Thanks for your video! The corporate grab of this space and the increased UAV traffic by big tech is also a major concern for the public… right now hobbyists have the space and share it with the community. With the proposal down the road UAV’s could be flying in a constant stream over roads, parks and private property…. Once this space is stolen getting it back will be tricky / impossible for the general public Keep the sky in the hands of the public and limit mega corps usage air grab. This space could be far more useful for primary industry, hobbyists, film production etc… handing it to mega corp (who will want it all) ~ give an inch take a mile is a bad situation for every day people and communities. Hold out let schools teach the next generation of flight technology without the need for expensive / complex government overreach! The world is going to need people with hardware and software skills (let them start learning from a young age) with real world problem solving and let’s keep the sky clear for education. Do you want a doctor operating on you who got a C (pass) or someone who is passionate and got A+ We need to look at the way future technology, coverages and the way computing and electronics will impact our lives overt the next decades / generations. Handing over the sky today will result in a corporate grab of our important sky. The force behind all of the remote ID is mega corps seeing a way to make money for shareholders.
@@ApocolypseZombie we need to raise the public awareness of what is happening and how this change will result in more drone traffic within their personal and public airspace. Lots of people will be ordering pizza and the wealthy will be flying over you on a morning cruse above the city or country side. There will likely also be the rental Uber air etc?
Stew you don't need Remote ID on drones under 250 grams. Also do you know if I need Remote ID to fly on my private property as personally I think Remote ID is an invasion of privacy.
I'm testing my newer RC truck with extra power draw for adding lights and a camera. It won't drive with more added. I bought it for reasons to go out a bit more than usual. The experimentation (electronics) means even more to me. A 2 minutes drone flight is technically not anything, whatsoever.
@@RickLaBanca not gonna last tho is it? When Karen's start reporting pilots for being noncompliant because they are completely unaware of what 250g is!
Well researched, which is frowned upon nowadays. Critical thinking not allowed.? None of this is about safety, unless you look at FPV drones used in recent battles. That's why they are scared. Anything can be used to harm, a car, a truck. As we have seen, it all about intent. All is hobbyist, real true ones, mean no harm ever. To humans, animals etc. And damage, we don't want to crash our craft is incentive enough not to go too crazy. Expensive hobby as it is. It's about track n trace, an unknown that they desire to know. Now think of everything else we register with the government, cars and children. No wonder they can take them away legally. Think about it.
Try This --> Reorganize what "drones" are required to comply. Camera Drones in your scenario 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.
very good points. my only point I would like to add is even though I do not fly those larger drones, law abiding citizens who do fly them shouldnt have to suffer either because of bad actors,
@@UAVfutures Indeed.. 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.
Actually, the FAA should focus on where a real difference could be made - addressing the 550 fatalities and 1700 crashes that occur in manned aviation in the US every year.
@@rsutherland106 Airlines today cannot hire enough air traffic controllers, Air Port staffing is very short, Fourth of July Holiday travelers were in a mess (blamed on weather) but mother nature was not the only issues they were having. UAS has been a reason for FAA to ask for finding, a crisis should never go to waste.
While RID modules may be technically practical in models over 1000 grams, weight distribution constraints would necessitate placing the module close to the radio control (RC) receiver. Since the RC receiver operates in the 2.4Ghz spectrum, the RID module (which is a transmitter which also operates in the 2.4Ghz spectrum) will significantly increase the RF noise that the RC receiver must contend with. This would degrade the quality of the control link, and could adversely affect safety. MAKES NO SENSE.
Anyone wanting to do bad stuff will either remove or not add it full stop. Damn we can already bypass no fly zone locks installed on ready to fly unit's. Money grabber is all it is. PS thinking of coming for a fly your way. All the new estates around Wyndhamvale and manor lakes are stealing my flying spots :(
@@UAVfutures Was planning on driving up with my toys next Qld visit with the family to see mum tho will put the wife and youngest 2 kids on a plane lol. . Mums place has view of glass house mountains and I have been itching to fly there since I seen. She moved back from Melb just before all the COVID lockdowns.
The remote id module needs a 3rd party gps module as well. Gps is easy AF to spoof, little kids playing pokemon go do it all the time. Just need to get the gps to report a false altitude. If someone's going to take the time and money to do something like this, taking an extra step to report false gps data is not that far fetched.
It's not a license plate, license plates don't transmit their location and the location of their owner all the time. It's an ankle monitor, the thing they put on criminals to keep track of them. We're presumed guilty before committing any crime and without any proof of any crime committed. If they're doing that with things like firearms, which are responsible for bucketloads of deaths, I could understand (not condone, but I'd understand the reasoning). But drones have zero deaths to their name. Remote ID for all drones is as stupid as making toilet paper out of gympie-gympie leaves
yes I agree. I thought about other analogies but their discussions refer to it as such, so I tried to explain how it could be like a license plate that weighed 1000 pounds, an ankle braclet would be more accurate though.
The license plate analogy seems far fetched when you are not tracked at all times by your license plate. 'Safety' continues to be a great way to make money
Criminals arent going to put a Law Enforcement Tracker on themselves, that would be stupid. Im afraid it will get worse in September when anyone can buy these trackers and shut down airports and pull all the police to one side of town with the press of a button. Even worse if someone puts one in a bag on a outgoing luggage terminal. When the FAA finds out one is over the airport flying 500 mph they will call the flight back with a fighter jet as an escort because there is "Nefarious Activity" happening on that plane. Over and over in these rules it calls RC piots "nefarious" which means criminally Evil. So either we are all criminals without a trial or thes rules (Laws) were written with hateful words because congress and/or the FAA hates a minority section of the public and wants them gone. Either way it makes these rules UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Theyve been very 'closed lip' about the real reason why cause its not about making the safest hobby safer when its making it less safe and scaring people. Maybe they want to deport us all back to Africa. Maybe congress wants their specialty coffee delivered by a giant drone with 6 motors and 27inch steel blades. A guy will have to deliver the coffee by car to the "DronePort" and your less than 7 miles away, then then can deliver your cold coffee, unless there is wind or air temps are lower than 40%F cause Lipo batteries work at a quarter to a third of normal range when it gets cold and I think we all know what wind does. Drone Deliveries! Coming thru a home near You!!! All the Dogs in your neighborhood wont mind chasing after it so the Dog Pound will have to be in place before the drone gets there to round up any stray pets and any children. Dear Congress and the FAA, You are doing something "Nefarious" and you need to come clean about it
to prevent midair collision - well has never happened so far so they create a fear and anger that has not existed Imagine you would have the same goals in traffic then the car drivers would go crazy if they would simply have to track their cars by government ? I mean just for safety reasons of cause to find those that leave once they had crashed their car into someone else car Wouldn't it make sense to raise the drivers attention to that topic cause if they have also to fear the remote ID they will go upset and these are millions not just a few thousands.
@@UAVfutures Luckily the genie is outta the bottle. I honestly believe that enforcement will be so low that there will be nearly zero legal ramifications for your average hobbyist. This will be an unwantted nightmare for local cops
I had to stop at around the 5 minute mark as you clearly don't know the current regulations, at least in the US, regarding RID. e.g. there is no network requirement for RID currently even though you state that there is. I suggest that you start over. Spend a little time understanding the regulations and then make a new video. I'm sure it will be valuable to the community.
I agree. A little bit of googling shows that it will be applicable to drones over 250g, so your micro drones should be fine. Also, while there appears to be "network remote id" which may need connectivity to a network, the general remote ID looks to be a simple broadcast (like Bluetooth Advertising) which does not require a network. When you logically think about it, a network based solution could not work anyway. As for cost, the transmitters can be simple and low power, so could be made fairly cheaply. Many of your arguments are good though.
Stew is Australian, and the Australian Discussion Paper about introducing Remote ID does not mention any exemptions for sub 250 grams. So Stew is correct.
I understand the need for those of us flying DJI M300/30T for commercial or public safety purposes, but I don't understand it for those that are just flying for fun or hobbyist. Plus, part 107 holders like myself cannot fly over the 400' threshold and must comply with airspace restrictions based upon what class of airspace we are in. It seems like a bad idea, especially for hobby fliers. I guess thank those that have posted their stupid videos flying up into IFR airspace and close to airports. Those idiots have ruined it for everybody.
Moreover; when conducting a Google search on drone strikes what comes up is revealing; every single answer is about US military drones hitting some target and nothing about drone strikes here at home. On the other hand; when conducting a search on bird strikes; the amount of data, is astonishing; it revealed that bird strikes are a daily factor our national as well as every other country airspace. So; it can be safely concluded that the real threat here are not hobby drones but birds free roaming in the skies doing exactly what nature intended them to do, nothing more; unless anyone is willing to spend time, money, and resources to train every single bird out there in learning their boundaries, which is a lousy and stupid idea; but instead; bureaucrats have turn to the ones they can control; us; because of money'; not safety'
My Bottom Line is , it's NO ONE'S business what I'm doing or FLYING on MY PRIVATE PROPERTY ... under 400 feet !!! I feel this Commercial Delivery idea will fade away, besides where do these UAVs fall into this RID ruling ....... OR do they have something to do with the RID law ? it is appearing a shadow group has been lying to the world for 75+ years on THIS subject ?????????
i don't know why you are including those toy quads unless you are deliberately trying to mislead people, a 30 gram quad is definitely under the 250 gram minimum RID requirement. as far as the faa objectives, there's the ones you read that are largely just public relations propaganda and there is the unpublicized main objective not meant for public knowledge which was to purge rc hobbyist from the air space essentially eliminating the hobby and i say was their objective because for all intents and purposes the have pretty much accomplished their goal, it won't be much longer before what little there is left of the hobby will be completely wiped out here in america.......
Stew if you had to put this transponder on every drone you would be broke and I would be also. It's just some people trying to justify their jobs or just have no understanding and probably a Karen or two.
Are you familiar with the Recreational Exemption that provides for flying sub-250 gram drones (including tiny whoops) just for fun without the necessity of registration, no remote ID required, and no Part 107 pilot's license. So, it is actually not accurate to say that a tiny whoop must be fitted with remote ID. It does not unless you are going to use it for commercial purposes. So, remote ID is short range Wi-Fi or Bluetooth which shouldn't effect aircraft from a taxi. This is just a pure act of terrorism and could be accomplished with any number of other devices. The thing is, the position of the drone will be known, but the location of the pilot would not. Is all of this a lot of unsubstantiated speculation. Hovering that drone over my property and back yard is an invasion of my privacy. Where was all of the resistance 3 years about when this was started. You kid should be flying under the Recreational Exemption and not needing remote ID. Why do people NOT mention this. You don't need Remote ID on the tiny whoops if flown for recreation.
Stew is Australian, and the Australian Discussion Paper about introducing Remote ID does not mention any exemptions for sub 250 grams. So Stew is correct.
If we have to have remote id. Why not keep the transponder in the radio? This way you don't need 200 new transponder. Just one or a couple is needed. And we can keep whooping!
@@Coops777 there are some modules that allow privacy and adhere to faa regulation. At a weight of 20 gram. Takes 2s power so perfect for all radios. Didn't save the company that has these modules because i live in europa. So my hobby isn't being ruined by FAA. Only for western travel. Woop, 5" and fixed wing pilot my self. So i fly about everything my self.

Better idea would even integrate it within Betaflight for an OSD view for the pilot have an audible announcement for aircraft to include location direction via compass in degrees, altitude from ground level, ground speed and distance from your centered location.
Also to only make information available only to the proper authorities only. The general public shouldn’t be alerted mostly due to the paranoia some individuals may have towards drones and other RC aircraft.
Bruce has the right idea out the ball into the court of maned aircraft requiring adsb system. Then you know they are coming …. That is a great approach to safety. Bruce is even putting his work out there so manufacturers can build so you don’t end up with a monopoly and high prices….

I think it would be a fantastic idea to put your reasoning and presentation skills to the subject of fpv and situational awareness and the ridiculous stance that CASA have taken by outlawing fpv in Australia. A mythbusters style approach could be very entertaining as well.
Thank you so much for this Stew!
Thank you for taking the time to comment! my pleasure
Imagine the uproar from the general public if the proposal was their registration plates broadcasting their vehicle's speed/location to anyone with the app whenever they're driving.
If hobby drones killed on the same scale as vehicles do on roads I could see the need for RID, but they don't.
Give this and all the old cars will need this as well!!!!!
and the plates weighed more than the car itself.
Excellent video. thank you
I love the trailer load of cement comparison to a whoop carrying RID
LoL
Well spoken, and delivered message on the topic. Thank you for posting.
The "Drone Tag Beacon" costs A$468. The "Drone Beacon dB120" costs A$290. The "Drone Tag BS" costs A$234 (All landed in Australia with GST). It is totally unreasonable to expect a hobbyist to add a $300 module to a model aircraft costing $75.
This is basically one of the videos I was going to make and have been working on to put on my main channel. I plan on making several videos. I was going to go through the same RID objectives and make all the same points. But, there are a lot of people out here harassing those making these videos that are saying the same things that others have said. To those doing the harassing about "copying" other youtubers on this subject... This isn't about infringement of others' content. This is about bringing awareness to the public of how insanely ridiculous and damaging RID is to all aspects of aviation and safety. The more videos out here, and the more people making these videos, the more awareness it brings to the public. It is about saving the hobby and the future of aviation as a whole.
I appreciate your feedback regarding remote ID and the FAA. It's crucial to have open conversations about these topics to ensure a balanced understanding.
Well said, appreciate your input
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and took the time to comment!
Great presentation. Thanks Stew.
Very good points in your research .. all the FAA needs to do is think !
i feel like the regulatory bodies are more dollars then "sense" 😉
Thank you so much for this Stew! We need this hobby to survive for the sake of our future technologies! Please FAA US Congress SHUT IT DOWN!!!
I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad the video was informative for you. Thank you for watching!
Totally agree, Stew! Just the quads you are using to explain are under 250gr which I believe they make them exempt of this regulation (unless you plan to use them commercially, which will probably be your case anyway). Apart from that, nice video!! Keep them coming!!!
Awesome video Stew! Lots of good info here
some great points
RID is also on a different Frequency/Spectrum as to ADS-B that manned Aviation use, so how this going to mitigate potential collisions, and know who is where, as they state? Well said Stew, and for bringing this up.
Thanks. By discussing the negative aspects, we can work towards finding better solutions and addressing concerns. at the moment its complete BS
Top video 👍 good suggestions 👌
Well said!!!

Great video
Out of curiosity, I wanted to ask your approach to flying fpv here in Aus?
My understanding is that CASA only allow it if your a member of the MAAA (model aircraft association) flying it at one of their sites, or if your a fully qualified RePL pilot flying under a ReOC, with the additional BVLOS classification… but take your goggles off, you can fly the drone under normal guidelines?
(I can’t quite understand how you can learn the skill if you need those quals before you can fly fpv???)
Realise you may not want to answer this here, but really interested to hear how you’ve gone about this?
I’m simply a bit amazed that having a spotter, who knows and understands the regulations, isn’t enough?
Thanks again
Thumbs up Stu
Agreed
I'd rather have remote id than what casa is dishing up. With cost of being commercially legal with fpv . And also the restrictions that are also involved . Way over regulated when the rest of the world can fly sub250g near ppl and crowds . We are criminals if we do anything like that.
its crazy isnt it. no sense all dollars
Most aviation authorities purview around the world tends to be safety, noise, privacy and environmental concerns are not.
There are other agencies that these responsibilities already fall to.
No one seems to have mentioned what happens if, on a small craft, the RID module has to be mounted so close to the radio receiver that it causes interference resulting in loss of control. Surely this makes it less safe not more so.
We all know that cameras with BT enabled can cause a significant loss of range if not total loss of control.
Thank you for this push back on RID. Maybe I am paranoid, but the biggest issue for me is the fact that anyone who wants to, can see what drones are nearby and exactly where they are. So the big question is why would anyone other than authorities want or need to see RID information? Answer, any anti-drone nut case or someone looking to steal some equipment. No one would be looking at that info to go and say Hi and wish you well. Seems the risk to the operator by not complying is way less than the risk of adding RID to your RC plane or quadcopter, but as I said, maybe I am paranoid.
The faa don’t give a fuck about the operators safety. Safety risk is a huge issue with this rid bull. They could have made it only available to law enforcement but no, they chose to let anyone with a smartphone see.
Naw not at all. Not putting me and my kids in danger period. I’m just going to keep flying like notnings changed.
Us commercial fishermen have been having to use AIS for a couple decades now. They have no off switch, so we just flip the breaker. Leaving it on, will cost us thousands! Why? Because people talk, and when you offload a hundred tons of product in a two day trip, someone at the cannery is taking notes and telling their buddies who now start tracking you, and suddenly, where you were alone before, you suddenly have a half dozen competitors! When crab fishing in the Bering sea, you go to offload and when you return, you may find that someone has dropped their pots in between yours, and cut your production in half! If you want to see human greed at it's maximum, just go fishing! This even applies to those fishing for sport!
only over 250 grams will require remote id . thanks for sharing
A potential benefit is “Gathering of data which will form an evidence-base to support future regulatory and policy Development”. So, imposing a regulation to gather data, to inform whether regulation is necessary? Really? This could make a great episode for Utopia.
Good one Stew, Haven't seen you for a while. Yeah you're right the only thing Remote I D does is create more problems when you take into consideration there is no infrastructure to facilitate transmission and receiving data . Most drones already have a set altitude limitation and distance limit built into them and if you fly either RC planes or drones you're flying below radar and you're not near a commercial airport because there's few to no RC clubs within a dangerous air space Obviously. Would Remote ID apply to RC boats as well because both Sydney and Brisbane airports are right next to water and so to is Wellington airport and I think Auckland as well which could be a security risk if some mad bomber wants to use a remote controlled model boat to create problems. I do believe there is paranoia virus in the Australian government and they need to be immunised with a shot of sanity . if ever there was a more fitting word for it I'd say FASCIST for what we see the government trying to implement for no good reason or cause and is becoming more like China and Russia degrading our freedom and liberties to the extent we no longer want a hobby or recreational pursuits in our free time either with family or friends or even on your own enjoying the air and your surroundings . Hmmm , I'm an old guy and I've seen things and know stuff and I vote to. Also there is no real if any evidence from CASA of any Australian drone pilots or RC plane pilots ever have their planes or drones cause an aircraft of any description to crash. But the media on the other hand have sensationalised from a minor incident which If memory serves me right was a helicopter flying under the height restriction and no aircraft crashed and no person/s were injured or killed .Where I live the local airstrip/airport has planes coming and going every week and their always flying below 500 feet just to line up for the runway so why haven't they had their licenses revoked by CASA ?? Cheers Mate keep up the good word as always.👍👍👍😎💨🏴☠☮☮☕☕💡🌈😊
Giddy up
Thanks for your video!
The corporate grab of this space and the increased UAV traffic by big tech is also a major concern for the public… right now hobbyists have the space and share it with the community. With the proposal down the road UAV’s could be flying in a constant stream over roads, parks and private property…. Once this space is stolen getting it back will be tricky / impossible for the general public
Keep the sky in the hands of the public and limit mega corps usage air grab.
This space could be far more useful for primary industry, hobbyists, film production etc… handing it to mega corp (who will want it all) ~ give an inch take a mile is a bad situation for every day people and communities.
Hold out let schools teach the next generation of flight technology without the need for expensive / complex government overreach!
The world is going to need people with hardware and software skills (let them start learning from a young age) with real world problem solving and let’s keep the sky clear for education.
Do you want a doctor operating on you who got a C (pass) or someone who is passionate and got A+
We need to look at the way future technology, coverages and the way computing and electronics will impact our lives overt the next decades / generations.
Handing over the sky today will result in a corporate grab of our important sky.
The force behind all of the remote ID is mega corps seeing a way to make money for shareholders.
It's inevitable, now that people have seen what even consumer drones are capable of doing in Ukraine.
@@ApocolypseZombie we need to raise the public awareness of what is happening and how this change will result in more drone traffic within their personal and public airspace. Lots of people will be ordering pizza and the wealthy will be flying over you on a morning cruse above the city or country side.
There will likely also be the rental Uber air etc?
Just Say No! To the FAA!
Stew you don't need Remote ID on drones under 250 grams. Also do you know if I need Remote ID to fly on my private property as personally I think Remote ID is an invasion of privacy.
I'm testing my newer RC truck with extra power draw for adding lights and a camera. It won't drive with more added. I bought it for reasons to go out a bit more than usual. The experimentation (electronics) means even more to me. A 2 minutes drone flight is technically not anything, whatsoever.
As i understand, under 250g needs zero registration or rid.
So will there not be a 250g cutoff?
Not for commercial only recreational
@@RickLaBancain Australia or America?
@@ragndroneman usa
@@RickLaBanca not gonna last tho is it?
When Karen's start reporting pilots for being noncompliant because they are completely unaware of what 250g is!
Well researched, which is frowned upon nowadays. Critical thinking not allowed.?
None of this is about safety, unless you look at FPV drones used in recent battles. That's why they are scared.
Anything can be used to harm, a car, a truck. As we have seen, it all about intent.
All is hobbyist, real true ones, mean no harm ever. To humans, animals etc. And damage, we don't want to crash our craft is incentive enough not to go too crazy. Expensive hobby as it is.
It's about track n trace, an unknown that they desire to know.
Now think of everything else we register with the government, cars and children.
No wonder they can take them away legally. Think about it.
They’re not being able to take away a legal firearm. Just saying
remote ID on paper planes too please . ✌🏻🙃🇦🇺
no one cared about our grandparents flying 4ft planes full of fuel 😅
Try This --> Reorganize what "drones" are required to comply. Camera Drones in your scenario 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.
Well said brother
very good points. my only point I would like to add is even though I do not fly those larger drones, law abiding citizens who do fly them shouldnt have to suffer either because of bad actors,
@@UAVfutures Indeed.. 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.
Actually, the FAA should focus on where a real difference could be made - addressing the 550 fatalities and 1700 crashes that occur in manned aviation in the US every year.
@@rsutherland106 Airlines today cannot hire enough air traffic controllers, Air Port staffing is very short, Fourth of July Holiday travelers were in a mess (blamed on weather) but mother nature was not the only issues they were having. UAS has been a reason for FAA to ask for finding, a crisis should never go to waste.
Did I beat Xjet here?
No he is a little bit above you!!!!
While RID modules may be technically practical in models over 1000 grams, weight distribution constraints would necessitate placing the module close to the radio control (RC) receiver. Since the RC receiver operates in the 2.4Ghz spectrum, the RID module (which is a transmitter which also operates in the 2.4Ghz spectrum) will significantly increase the RF noise that the RC receiver must contend with. This would degrade the quality of the control link, and could adversely affect safety. MAKES NO SENSE.
The whole hobby is over 💥
Big Corp. was literally handed the 0 - 400ft air space for deliveries 😵💫
RID is Pokémon Go for Karen's.
😮
Anyone wanting to do bad stuff will either remove or not add it full stop. Damn we can already bypass no fly zone locks installed on ready to fly unit's. Money grabber is all it is. PS thinking of coming for a fly your way. All the new estates around Wyndhamvale and manor lakes are stealing my flying spots :(
email me mate. if you are around brisi we can fly for sure
@@UAVfutures Was planning on driving up with my toys next Qld visit with the family to see mum tho will put the wife and youngest 2 kids on a plane lol. . Mums place has view of glass house mountains and I have been itching to fly there since I seen. She moved back from Melb just before all the COVID lockdowns.
more government control for the slaves
Your taxi scenario doesn’t work because the broadcast data includes altitude.
So you think the authorities are going to be cool with you flying a racing drone 2 metres off the ground at the end of a runway?
The remote id module needs a 3rd party gps module as well. Gps is easy AF to spoof, little kids playing pokemon go do it all the time. Just need to get the gps to report a false altitude. If someone's going to take the time and money to do something like this, taking an extra step to report false gps data is not that far fetched.
WHEN YOU GO FLYING IF YOU HAVE REMOTE ID CARRY YOU RIFFLE WITH LOTS OF ROUNDS......SAFETY #1
as long as one of those things is registered....and isnt in a no fly zone
It's not a license plate, license plates don't transmit their location and the location of their owner all the time. It's an ankle monitor, the thing they put on criminals to keep track of them. We're presumed guilty before committing any crime and without any proof of any crime committed.
If they're doing that with things like firearms, which are responsible for bucketloads of deaths, I could understand (not condone, but I'd understand the reasoning). But drones have zero deaths to their name. Remote ID for all drones is as stupid as making toilet paper out of gympie-gympie leaves
yes I agree. I thought about other analogies but their discussions refer to it as such, so I tried to explain how it could be like a license plate that weighed 1000 pounds, an ankle braclet would be more accurate though.
The license plate analogy seems far fetched when you are not tracked at all times by your license plate. 'Safety' continues to be a great way to make money
A house arrest ankle monitor is a more accurate analogy.
Criminals arent going to put a Law Enforcement Tracker on themselves, that would be stupid. Im afraid it will get worse in September when anyone can buy these trackers and shut down airports and pull all the police to one side of town with the press of a button. Even worse if someone puts one in a bag on a outgoing luggage terminal. When the FAA finds out one is over the airport flying 500 mph they will call the flight back with a fighter jet as an escort because there is "Nefarious Activity" happening on that plane. Over and over in these rules it calls RC piots "nefarious" which means criminally Evil. So either we are all criminals without a trial or thes rules (Laws) were written with hateful words because congress and/or the FAA hates a minority section of the public and wants them gone. Either way it makes these rules UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Theyve been very 'closed lip' about the real reason why cause its not about making the safest hobby safer when its making it less safe and scaring people. Maybe they want to deport us all back to Africa. Maybe congress wants their specialty coffee delivered by a giant drone with 6 motors and 27inch steel blades. A guy will have to deliver the coffee by car to the "DronePort" and your less than 7 miles away, then then can deliver your cold coffee, unless there is wind or air temps are lower than 40%F cause Lipo batteries work at a quarter to a third of normal range when it gets cold and I think we all know what wind does. Drone Deliveries! Coming thru a home near You!!! All the Dogs in your neighborhood wont mind chasing after it so the Dog Pound will have to be in place before the drone gets there to round up any stray pets and any children. Dear Congress and the FAA, You are doing something "Nefarious" and you need to come clean about it
to prevent midair collision - well has never happened so far so they create a fear and anger that has not existed
Imagine you would have the same goals in traffic then the car drivers would go crazy if they would simply have to track their cars by government ?
I mean just for safety reasons of cause to find those that leave once they had crashed their car into someone else car
Wouldn't it make sense to raise the drivers attention to that topic cause if they have also to fear the remote ID they will go upset and these are millions not just a few thousands.
A few locked down airports and it's back to the drawing board...
just ban all drones.
@@UAVfutures Luckily the genie is outta the bottle. I honestly believe that enforcement will be so low that there will be nearly zero legal ramifications for your average hobbyist. This will be an unwantted nightmare for local cops
I had to stop at around the 5 minute mark as you clearly don't know the current regulations, at least in the US, regarding RID. e.g. there is no network requirement for RID currently even though you state that there is. I suggest that you start over. Spend a little time understanding the regulations and then make a new video. I'm sure it will be valuable to the community.
I agree. A little bit of googling shows that it will be applicable to drones over 250g, so your micro drones should be fine. Also, while there appears to be "network remote id" which may need connectivity to a network, the general remote ID looks to be a simple broadcast (like Bluetooth Advertising) which does not require a network. When you logically think about it, a network based solution could not work anyway. As for cost, the transmitters can be simple and low power, so could be made fairly cheaply. Many of your arguments are good though.
Stew is Australian, and the Australian Discussion Paper about introducing Remote ID does not mention any exemptions for sub 250 grams. So Stew is correct.
there is no one to enforce remote id, chill yall. continue flying.
Just dont comply fly out in the middle of nowhere :)
States doing the same thing at the same time. hmmmmm
Hey someone's flying here come shoot it out of the sky. 😅
I understand the need for those of us flying DJI M300/30T for commercial or public safety purposes, but I don't understand it for those that are just flying for fun or hobbyist. Plus, part 107 holders like myself cannot fly over the 400' threshold and must comply with airspace restrictions based upon what class of airspace we are in. It seems like a bad idea, especially for hobby fliers. I guess thank those that have posted their stupid videos flying up into IFR airspace and close to airports. Those idiots have ruined it for everybody.
A tool... cooked up by a bunch of tools!
Yes!!!!!
Moreover; when conducting a Google search on drone strikes what comes up is revealing; every single answer is about US military drones hitting some target and nothing about drone strikes here at home. On the other hand; when conducting a search on bird strikes; the amount of data, is astonishing; it revealed that bird strikes are a daily factor our national as well as every other country airspace. So; it can be safely concluded that the real threat here are not hobby drones but birds free roaming in the skies doing exactly what nature intended them to do, nothing more; unless anyone is willing to spend time, money, and resources to train every single bird out there in learning their boundaries, which is a lousy and stupid idea; but instead; bureaucrats have turn to the ones they can control; us; because of money'; not safety'
My Bottom Line is , it's NO ONE'S business what I'm doing or FLYING on MY PRIVATE PROPERTY ... under 400 feet !!! I feel this Commercial Delivery idea will fade away, besides where do these UAVs fall into this RID ruling ....... OR do they have something to do with the RID law ? it is appearing a shadow group has been lying to the world for 75+ years on THIS subject ?????????
totally agree.
Rid is just plain out stupid. All the new drones from drone giant DJI will come with this, and most likely not easy to hack.
give me one FPV drone please my dream
i don't know why you are including those toy quads unless you are deliberately trying to mislead people, a 30 gram quad is definitely under the 250 gram minimum RID requirement. as far as the faa objectives, there's the ones you read that are largely just public relations propaganda and there is the unpublicized main objective not meant for public knowledge which was to purge rc hobbyist from the air space essentially eliminating the hobby and i say was their objective because for all intents and purposes the have pretty much accomplished their goal, it won't be much longer before what little there is left of the hobby will be completely wiped out here in america.......
Stew if you had to put this transponder on every drone you would be broke and I would be also. It's just some people trying to justify their jobs or just have no understanding and probably a Karen or two.
im already broke haha. we made below minimum wage last year. youtube + depression has not been kind lol.
Are you familiar with the Recreational Exemption that provides for flying sub-250 gram drones (including tiny whoops) just for fun without the necessity of registration, no remote ID required, and no Part 107 pilot's license. So, it is actually not accurate to say that a tiny whoop must be fitted with remote ID. It does not unless you are going to use it for commercial purposes. So, remote ID is short range Wi-Fi or Bluetooth which shouldn't effect aircraft from a taxi. This is just a pure act of terrorism and could be accomplished with any number of other devices. The thing is, the position of the drone will be known, but the location of the pilot would not. Is all of this a lot of unsubstantiated speculation. Hovering that drone over my property and back yard is an invasion of my privacy. Where was all of the resistance 3 years about when this was started. You kid should be flying under the Recreational Exemption and not needing remote ID. Why do people NOT mention this. You don't need Remote ID on the tiny whoops if flown for recreation.
Stew is Australian, and the Australian Discussion Paper about introducing Remote ID does not mention any exemptions for sub 250 grams. So Stew is correct.
