Again, the concern is a 50% increase of drones, RC aircraft, etc.,
starting to be used within the next couple of months.
I also realize that enforcement of the registration requirement is
difficult. It probably would have made more sense to require
registration at the time of sale.
Or have the seller check for an AMA card prior to the sale. But, the
AMA card is free
to those under 19, and there is no requirement that the kid knows
any flight rules or
safety measures.
Then we would have the "drone show" loophole ;-)
These days anyone who can put am Ikea table together can make a drone
from parts and I already know a guy who is making money doing it. (he
works for my wife). Some of these are pretty sophisticated and still
less than $500 to build. (more properly "assemble" since it is all off
the shelf parts)
None of which have serial numbers, although I see there is no mention
of registering
particular aircraft - only operators.
"Q. What information will I be required to provide on the FAA UAS
Registration
website?
A. You must provide your complete name, physical address, mailing
address, and an
email address. The email address will be used as your login ID when
you set up your
account.
Q. Do I have to provide any information on my UAS?
A. Individual recreational users do not have to enter the make, model,
and serial
number. All non-recreational users will be required to provide the
make, model, and
serial number when the website is available to all other users."
(From the site provided by Luddite.)
You missed some that pertain:
Q. How do I prove I am registered?
A. A certificate of registration will be available to download and will
be sent to your email address at the time of registration. When
operating your UAS you must be able to present the certificate in either
print or electronic format if asked for proof of registration.
Q. Will my drone require an N-number or sticker?
A. No. You will receive a unique registration number, not an N-number,
and you must mark the registration number on your UAS by some means that
is legible and allows the number to be readily seen. The registration
number may be placed in a battery compartment as long as it can be
accessed without the use of tools.
Q. Is putting my AMA number on my drone enough?
A. No. Not at this time. The registration system will generate a unique
FAA registration number, which you must mark on your aircraft.
Q. Would putting my contact information on my drone be enough?
A. No, you must mark it with the FAA registration number.
I'm sorry for laughing, but this thread is hysterical. A kazillion posts
about toy airplanes, as it were, and all because Herring at heart thinks
the rules shouldn't apply to his little hobbies.
