Hello Everyone & Happy Holidays,
I've been glancing through the new FAA Rules & Regs that are due to come into force soon, it's a 319-page document with a lot of repetition, legalese and too much to take it at one sitting. One thing that seems to be introduced is the ability of a UAS to broadcast its identity & position to the Internet during all flights. An anyone clarify this?
Please excuse, not very good at links for some reason, I think I've posted it below.I think it would be helpful if you can share a link with everyone else who has not already read it (or found it).
What does this identification do to previous drones? I just purchased an Autel Evo and still within its return period, Is this mean drones without this ID are helpless and unusable, or grandfathered in? or is there something I missed from reading about having drones erased if they don't comply?
Yes, unless it’s big acreage. The drone lenses are so wide you can get a great shot of the average house/lot at 100’. But, the old rule that you could fly at higher altitudes as long as you’re within 100-200’ of the pole, antenna, hill/mtn (I forget the exact limit, lol) goes away? Many of us have flown far beyond 400’ hugging a cliff/Mtn. Would that be changing?Could Autel apply some firmware? Can this be done thru the Autel app? It looks like a tight regulation, but is 400' enough to film real estate for example?
