You Must Register Your Drone With the FAA Starting December 21
If you’re the proud owner of a drone—or are one of the thousands of shoppers who’ll purchase one this holiday season—the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wants to know about it. And the agency has finally set a deadline. (gizmodo.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If there's such confusion and grass roots resistance to such a ridiculous and conflicting ruling (the rule generally violates part 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012), then why doesn't someone get these voices organized to stand against it?
As a Drone Pilot ( reg# FA3AA3****), and Business owner of company that utilizes the UAV/UAS technology to service CalFire, ESAR Groups,Etc...I no problem in this. And as I have read Daniel Baker's comments on the 'N' number issue, I find it ironic that I am receiving a N number that will assigned to one of my DJI Drones. It was rather easy....search for proposed number, request, and then pay the $10 bucks. I had actually used a number back in the early 70's on one of my toy RC planes. And still today, that N number is available. So I am receiving 1 Registered N number for a single drone. If I pay for it, its mine. If you dont pay for it , you should not complain. Peace all and happy safe droning.
More on the 2012 Congressional legislation... The law passed in Congress requires the F.A.A. to not engage in rule making for the purpose of controlling Remote Control Aircraft operators and their aircraft. I might add that if anyone believes this is the ticket to avoid F.A.A. registration of a drone they are well advised to contact an attorney for clarification. I am not an attorney and am not offering legal advice, instead I am reporting on what I have found regarding the hobby I have enjoyed for so many years.
Please cite the law that you're referring to. I'd like to read it in full for myself.
To see the difference in discussions pertaining to this registration thing, you ought to check out the Phantom Pilots site. I think there are more real airplane pilots here on FlightAware, while on Phantom Pilots there are more, well, Phantom pilots. Interesting difference of opinion.

The discussion 'over there' seems to revolve around whether you register and be a "good guy", or not register and be a bad, scofflaw, dimwit who flies in front of landing 747's.

How American. A few inconsiderent people with drones have caused some close calls with the flying public so now the FAA is going to have them registered, with I think is a good idea.....but....
DON'T YOU DARE ASK US TO REGISTER OUR GUNS! Which have already killed tens of thousands over the years!
Some how, it looks like their priorities are backwards.
