All I know is the same info. on the FAA website. Wouldn't want to steer you wrong. And I don't have time for jokes.lol. awwww man! I thought it was pretty funny. Anyway, you sure put me in my place. I'm humbled by your seriousness with all this. I wish I could be as serious and on point as you....you drone pilot serious man you...THIS Bud's for you!
So does this mean im outta luck if I ask you questions about my application for a 333 ? (sad)
Sorry guys your attempts at humor only make you look stupid. l.M. Took the time to try to help people actually interested in getting that N number, not to furnish fodder for stupidity.
Ok, I guess the FAA is behind on updating their forms. Everything is new when it comes to UAVs.
and last but not least.......
If you should inadvertently fly into protected airspace, how will the F16's manage to fly slow enough to escort you to the nearest facility for interrogation ?
lol
Go look up the specs on a Cessna 152,,,most quads are faster[/QUOTE]
ATTN MODERATOR: Apparently we need another section labeled STUPID FUNNIES.
So you're saying the FAA has never once created a reg that's just dumb?

Explosive Ordinance Disposal is indeed an interesting way to make a living, but I don't really see what it has to do with my question.

END OF DISCUSSION!!!!
Settle down, Francis.
I think I would reserve the word "stupid" for people making statements like "on my third flight and I made it to 1600' AGL", or "third flight and I lost video about 2000' out on the other side of a forest",,
Or the numerous 333 applications I see where they tell the FAA why they are safer than someone with a pilots license,,when the FAA has made it clear a 333 Exemption requires a pilots license,,,they do get the 333, and it spells out the requirements for the PIC to be a licensed pilot
You do not need a pilots license to GET the 333 Exemption, You do have to have someone that has a pilots license to USE the exemption.
I think we are saying the same thing but in different ways
You are 100% correct. Realistically, not many are going to go through this process to then go find a licensed pilot to do the flying, unless it is a large established company, already in business such as construction or real estate. I see many utilities and colleges are getting 333s. I'm guessing better than half (?) of 333s are one or two-person operations. Just my guess, what do you think?
I have read a couple dozen that were approved and think it is a pretty mixed bag of petitioners. It has to be at least a 2 man operation because the 333 requires a PIC and observer. I already have my pilots license so I can fly for anyone that has an exemption as long as I am trained for their equipment. I do not expect mine till november.
Yes, The observer rule is pretty loose, that role pretty much can be fulfilled by anyone so long as they are trained on the operations manual, primarily safety. Good luck with your 333, I'm hoping to see mine in September...

we are, I just laugh at the ones that request they be allowed to fly because of the great training they have with a drone, ,,,,of course they will get the same language everyone else gets requiring a pilots license.
I have been very surprised to find many people filing for a 333 that do not have and do not plan to get a pilots license, and fly anyway,,its like holding up a big sign and saying "hey, I'm over here" then breaking the law. If you request a 333 you are showing you have knowledge of the law, and the letter from the FAA spells it out.
If your not going to follow the rules, don't go register with the FAA, which is basically what your doing (I am a licensed pilot, and also have $1M in liability insurance on my drones)

The CAA (here in South Africa) wants us to register our birds as well (if for commercial use) as well as obtain a pilots license (silly red tape!)!
One of the requirements for registration is a "fireproof identification plate containing the registration marks, and will typically also include the manufacturer and serial number".
Do you, too, have to do this for FAA registration? Where did you mount the plate?
I have not taken delivery of my P3P yet so do not know the physical layout too well yet. I worry about causing unbalance or something by putting the plate in the wrong place?
Having watched the intro video and unboxing, I was wondering about the warning stickers on the motors. Might I make a metal sticker that could replace those? Is the prop clearance enough? The benefit here is that I could have one plate for each motor, thereby maintaining even weight distribution as well as providing for ,in the eventuality of a complete smashup, a higher chance of identifying the bird.
My apologies if this post is too off topic! First post here! Looking forward to joining you guys in the sky! Get my P3P on the 19th of Sep. Maybe earlier.

I plan on getting some of those aluminum or brass pet tags engraved with N # and serial number when it is time for my copters to be registerd. I will rivet it or use epoxy to attach it.

No such thing required by the FAA, YET. Welcome to the club.

Luis, #22 on the FAA 333 exemption letters says this.
"22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial
number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification
(N−Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings must
be as large as practicable."
It doesn't say how it is to be marked.
