Remote ID Serial Number

[eyesinthesky]

It sounds like I have a similar problem as those already discussed, however I can't seem to resolve it.

I did the firmware update to the latest version for drone and controller. And then I flew the drone for a short time for a practice run. Everything seemed to work fine.

When I go onto the FAA site to renew my registration, I keep getting "Invalid Serial Number" when I enter the drone serial number inside the battery compartment for the Remote ID Serial Number. My question is.....Is this the correct number to be entering in that field, or should I be entering a different number? If a different number, where do I find that number?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.


Regards,
Al

Recreational Flyers Registration​

Recreational flyers will need to add each Standard Remote ID drone and/or the Remote ID broadcast module to their inventory, then if applicable, remove the drone not equipped with Standard Remote ID that it replaces.

• Log in or create a new account on FAADroneZone
  • Click on the button labeled “Launch Drone Owners and Pilots Dashboard.”
  • Be sure you are on the Recreational Flyer Dashboard.
• Click on “Manage Device Inventory.”
  • Click on “Add Device.”
  • Answer “Yes” to the Remote ID question.
  • Choose the device type from the drop down menu ("Remote ID broadcast module" or "Standard Remote ID" drone):
    • If using one broadcast module on multiple drones not equipped with Standard Remote ID, select broadcast module for each and input the particular drone(s) make/model while using the same Remote ID serial number from the module in the following step.
  • Enter the Remote ID serial number.
  • Click on “Add Device.”
• Return to “Your Inventory.”
• If you’d like to cancel the previously registered drone not equipped with Standard Remote ID.
  • While in your inventory, click on the three vertical dots associated with the drone under the “Actions” column and select “Cancel” from the drop down menu
  • Note: a canceled device will remain in your inventory as “canceled.”

Thank you so much for your response.

I originally registered the drone for recreational purposes, since I did not have my Pt 107 cert.

However, I recently passed the Pt 107 exam and want to register my drone as a Pilot. When I sign in under my original login, the system won't let me choose anything other that "recreational". Do I follow a different procedure to do that?

  • Enter the Remote ID serial number.
  • Click on “Add Device.”
  • Continue on with the registration process.

***you MAY need to 'cancel' the recreational registrations to allow for Part 107.****

 

[eyesinthesky]

I tried to cancel, but it still brings me back to recreational.

 

[captainmilehigh]

I tried to cancel, but it still brings me back to recreational.

Yes, that's where you want to be. Just cancel all drones and id's in recreational, and start over completely in Part 107.

 

[eyesinthesky]

I did cancel everything in recreational, but when i go to register the drone under 107, I don't get the following option to choose between Remote ID broadcast module and Standard Remote ID

• Choose the device type from the drop down menu ("Remote ID broadcast module" or "Standard Remote ID" drone):
  • If using a broadcast module, list the drone's make/model while adding the broadcast module's Remote ID serial number in the following step.

I tried the Remote Controller SN; I tried the Flight Controller SN; I tried them as they appear in the About section; I added 1581F prefix.......I always get the message that it is an invalid serial number.

Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

 

[captainmilehigh]

Did you answer "yes" to the remote ID question in the Part 107 registration section?

The number they are asking for is your FAA number that you attached to your drone..........and the Remote ID number. Serial numbers are not required, usually just make and model of drone. See NOTE.

Registering Drones With Remote ID​

Recreational drone pilots may register once and apply their registration number to all the devices listed within their inventory. During registration, you must list the serial number(s) of each Standard Remote ID drone and/or the Remote ID broadcast module. If you use a Remote ID broadcast module, the Remote ID serial number attached to the module must be listed for each drone not equipped with Standard Remote ID you add to your inventory. This will permit you to move the module from one drone not equipped with Standard Remote ID to another so long as each of the drones make/model are listed within the same inventory.

NOTE :

This is not the case for Part 107 pilots who must register each individual device (Standard Remote ID drone or Remote ID broadcast module) separately within their inventory and each device will be assigned a unique registration number.

 

[eyesinthesky]

I did answer YES to the Remote ID question in the Part 107 Registration section.

I thought that the purpose of updating firmware in the drone and the controller was to enable Remote ID capabilities within the drone.

True, the only Phantom Series drones that updates the RID compliance with the firmware update is the Phantom 4 RTK, Pro V2.0, and the Pro+ V2.0. All others in the Phantom series need to use an attached RID module.

So, do you have any suggestions as to why I can't find a valid ID to use to register my drone? Or why the FAA system keeps tagging every ID that I try as invalid?

 

[captainmilehigh]

so it won't take your 10 digit FAA number.....starts with "FAxxxxxxxx" ?

You may want to double check the DJI Firmware Release notes for your particular model for any deviations from required App versions, etc.

So, do you have any suggestions as to why I can't find a valid ID to use to register my drone? Or why the FAA system keeps tagging every ID that I try as invalid?

Didn't see a reply to which version P4P drone you have - V1, V2, etc.

"so it won't take your 10 digit FAA number.....starts with "FAxxxxxxxx" ?

I'm not sure what FAA number you are referring to. The only reference number I am aware of for the FAA is the FAA Tracking Number that I was assigned when I registered for my Pt 107 Exam.

@CR125Honda, since you are Part 107, do you see anything I'm missing?

The registration number you display on the drone itself.

Sorry, it is a V2

The old registration number was for when I registered it under recreational use.

I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.'

I have attached a shot of the firmware versions currently displayed in the About section. Perhaps you can see something in there that I have missed. When I press any of the Check for Update "buttons" they all reply with "Currently the latest version."
