and as I said - Until then...

Yes - the marking requirement was codified after 336 became law in 2016, I'm well aware of this. My comment was directed towards to requirement to mark your drone on the exterior which was implemented last week by a interim final rule. Federal Register :: External Marking...

I use LAANC right now when I fly under 107 which is 95% of my time. I'll believe it when it's implemented. In the mean time they're more focused on ensuring operators properly mark their drones.

Until then....

While it makes sense the Feds don't see it that way, especially if you're 50' in controlled airspace. Despite this, its still the law.

And commercial jets and copters are under layers of regulations and authorization before they even get off the ground. Your hobby is the flat surface of the totem pole contacting the ground.

Right now there is nothing specified about font size. The actual regulation will be found in CFR FAR 48 Current FAR 48.205 Display and location of unique identifier. (a) The unique identifier must be maintained in a condition that is legible. (b) The unique identifier must be affixed to the...

Don't bother - go on line and look for the Civil Air Authority's website and see what they say. I went to Costa Rica last year, got everything I needed on line and had no issues

Looks like you're in or close to the class E transition. You are well out of controlled airspace and just limited to altitude (700' is the base of class E but then again no one should be flying over 400') So again, the person at the airport cannot tell you not to fly your drone. When the new...

If he's within 4 miles of Bandel, the whole area has class E starting at either 700' or 1200' AGL

Actually he can fly - Pittsburgh class B is outside of Bandel and the first part of the "wedding cake" starts at 4,000 feet to the north of Bandel

Right now, as a hobbyist, you have to comply with FARs 101.41(e) with regards to notifying an airport of a hobby flight. Unless you're going to fly in controlled airspace, the person at the airport you spoke to technically can't deny your flight but you cannot create a hazard (ref Far 101.43)...
