So, I read elsewhere that I'm supposed to register my S2 with the FAA under some part 107 for recreational drones. And that you're required to take and pass some recreational safety test.
Thanks for the link. So, under the Standard Remote i d law that covers the SD2, they're not required to be registered until Sept. of 2023, when the rule goes into effect.Understanding the FAA Remote ID Rule
Understanding the FAA Remote ID Rule
Learn about the FAA’s proposed Remote ID rules for drone pilots and what this means for Skydio Drones and for the drone industry as a wholewww.skydio.com
Here is an article for your information.
I've spent the afternoon perusing the FAA sites that have to do with recreational flying, 14 CFR Part 107, Exception for Limited Operation of Unmanned Aircraft (USC 44809) and Advisory Circular 91-57B.There are new rules and old. The old rules have required us to be registered as, at a minimum, recreational flyers for a few years. Thats why I talked about an FAA sticker on my Mavic and on S2 in your ID thread.
Earlier this year they came out with the requirement to pass a test. Its easy, google can find ya info on it. I remember a post elsewhere by dronegirl or something similar with a link I used. I carry the Faa card they sent me in my wallet and a printed certificate of course completion in with my drone stuff.
As I understand it, the new rules will have a requirement for the drone to broadcast ID info via cell signals...similar to how airplanes do, but totally different system...obviously. S2 drones currently have no ability to broadcast ID. Possibly an attachment of some sort will be required.
Its not clear to me how one is supposed to fly drone and comply with these rules when flying where there are no cell towers within reach.
But the minute you share the footage, it's no longer personal enjoyment. I don't know anyone that will record all that footage and just watch it themselves. And it doesn't matter how much money you actually make on Youtube or other sites. The potential to earn is what matters.
Many YouTube sites have received notices and warnings. If you post to YouTube you are not doing for personal enjoyment. If you share thst with other people it is no longer personal.I don't think that's right.
The FAA can't go after a video that has the "potential" to make someone money. That's "Minority Report" CACA right there. Merely sharing the footage doesn't make it susceptible to part 107.
Video that is shared on sites like YT for the sole purpose of the enjoyment of others and not for making revenue, is not monetized or making any income from, is not subject to part 107.
can we not do this here please? we're all friends here, i'd like to keep it that way. this "argument" has already been hashed in other drone forums a long time ago so if anyone want to weigh in, why not join the battle and take sides over there where they have no problems going in feet first and trashing each other. drone pilots are our own worse enemy and it's embarrassing sometimes. we have a new drone in the s2+ and cool things to talk about and these types of arguments affect everybody negatively. not trying to mod the forum or anything but the #1 rule is simple: follow the law. that's all we need to say. my 2 cents. happy new year!Many YouTube sites have received notices and warnings. If you post to YouTube you are not doing for personal enjoyment. If you share thst with other people it is no longer personal.
