FAA Extends Remote ID Enforcement Date Six Months

[msinger]

Wednesday, September 13, 2023

Drone pilots who are unable to comply with the broadcast requirement of the Remote ID Rule will now have until March 16, 2024, to equip their aircraft. After that date, operators could face fines and suspension or revocation of pilot certificates.

In making this decision, the FAA recognizes the unanticipated issues that some operators are experiencing finding some remote identification broadcast modules. Drone pilots can meet this deadline by purchasing a standard Remote ID equipped drone from a manufacturer or purchasing a Remote ID broadcast module which can be affixed to existing drones that do not have Remote ID equipment.

Remote ID acts like a digital license plate and will help the FAA, law enforcement, and other federal agencies find the control station when a drone appears to be flying in an unsafe manner or where it is not allowed to fly.

Thanks for sharing this update! That's good news for those of us trying to sort out the RID modules. March 16, 2024, gives us some breathing room to get compliant. Appreciate the info!

That is decent of uncle Sam. It helps him to get everyone setup so it can make the government's job easier.
In reading your post, it seems the honest guy gets caught doing something stupid and the FAA will have a hard time trying to find the dishonest guy. That's life isn't it? Lol.

I believe you have stumbled on a great piece of equipment. Thank You a lot for pointing this out. I just wish I had seen this before spending 3X's more for a module.
