Ken Heron claims RID is cancelled

[B- Scene Films]

According to Ken Heron RID deadline is cancelled and no new one has been established. I have not found an official notice of this but Ken is usually right on this kind of thing.

Ken is wrong. It's not going to be cancelled. Expect an announcement from the FAA at Comm UAV Expo next week.

Never get advice from this dude as he is usually full of it.

On FAA matters I usually get my advice from, oh let me see....the FAA? They told us it was coming in 2019, the finally set a date, but did we listen? No. I ordered a beacon 4 months ago. Now all the procrastinators are whining they can't get one in time.

Well boo hoo.

In Ken's defense, he stated the START of RID was cancelled/delayed, not that RID itself was cancelled. The FAA announcement of the delay of the Start of RID at Comm UAV Expo next week will confirm what Ken actually stated.

They won't need one on September 16th.

So the FAA will announce a delay next week but you already know that?

Do you speak for the FAA, did they authorize your use of their seal?

I already referred to Ken's video as the source, which you choose to ignore. The FAA speaks for themselves, and will shortly. There are several other independent posts online that confirm Ken's information, about the delay, including this screenshot. All will be clear before September 16th.

A big part of the issue is that most of the RID modules are on back order. Remember they are being purchased not only by drone owners but also any RC pilots that have a need as well.

Not quite all.
Whining stoped years ago once I realized no one was going to toss me a towel.

And I already told you I choose to get my info directly from the FAA, not some schmuck with a video.

Unfortunately, not everyone here is a grownup, like you. I read someone here asking for an extension to 1/1/24. And you know what will happen on 1/1/24? "Not yet!! We need more time." Whaaa!

One of the better features in these pilot forums is the ignore button.

Did it occur to you the "some schmuck with a video" Ken Heron (194,000 subscribers) might really have a reliable source within the FAA which he repeatedly referred to, which another "schmuck with a video" named 51 Drones (293,000 subscribers) has now endorsed as well?

Let's talk again next week, after the predicted official FAA "relief" and see how reliable the so called "schmucks with a video" were. Their professional reputations are on the line, too! These aren't just some random "kids with a drone" and a YouTube channel. Between them, they have almost 500,000 subscribers, and their two videos have a combined 60,000+ views in the last three days.

Any schmuck with a drone can create a You Tube channel.
"Their professional reputations are on the line, too!" LOL. What reputation? Herron's only reputation is as a clown.
"Between them, they have almost 500,000 subscribers." Taylor Swift has more than that but I don't take my advice from her, either. You must be very young, to be so easily impressed by You Tube "influencers."

Is Greg Reverdiau from Pilot Institute also a "schmuck" to you?
Maybe this will convince you. The logic is overwhelming!
Must be nice to one of the 3% who have already received their module!

Still not getting the point, are you? I don't get my FAA information from you tube guessers, but from the FAA. And yes, if you post a video speculating and misleading others, you are a schmuck.

The only point I am getting from you is gloating that you already have received your RID unit, while the other 97% of those that have ordered and want them can't get them, so you want them all grounded on September 16th, so you can be the only one flying!

Show some empathy for your fellow drone pilots!
Either way, whether you like it or not, the September 16th deadline is no longer set in stone. It's moving. Ken Heron says so. HAH!

Don’t have mine yet. Haven’t been willing to have the wallet get depleted to the extent the early birds did.
