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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.

</blockquote>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 (<a href="https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title49-section44809&num=0&edition=prelim" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">USC 44809</a>) and <a href="https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1036029" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Advisory Circular 91-57B</a>. <br />
<br />
From what I'm reading, if a drone doesn't have the ability to broadcast, they're working on a "module" that does the broadcasting, that you have to affix to the drone.<br />
<br />
Found the TRUST safety test. And yes, they want you to have a record that you've taken and passed it, on you when flying and must be able to show it when asked by LEOs or the FAA. <br />
<br />
And when registering, you get 1 FAA # i.d. number that goes on all your drones.</div>
