FAA Remote ID stands for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Remote Identification rule for drones. This rule requires most drones operating in the United States to broadcast identification and location information while in flight. It is a measure implemented to enhance safety and security in the national airspace.
Remote ID is a system that allows drones to broadcast specific information such as the drone's location, altitude, speed, and the location of the drone pilot in real-time. This data is then made available to law enforcement authorities and other stakeholders to ensure safe drone operations.
By implementing Remote ID, the FAA aims to mitigate security concerns related to drones, prevent unauthorized drone operations, and pave the way for advanced drone integration into the airspace. It also assists authorities in identifying and addressing any safety issues promptly.
All drones weighing over 0.55 pounds are required to comply with the Remote ID rule, with a few exceptions for certain categories of drones. Pilots can choose between two compliance options: a standard Remote ID broadcast module attached to the drone, or a Remote ID service provided through a connected device.
