As the March 2nd deadline approaches for public comment regarding the FAA's proposals for Remote I.D., a new article appeared in which DJI talks pilot location, drone-to-phone, and remote ID
and they seem to be on the right track.
Congress mandated the requirement to remotely identify all UASs, so that part is a done deed. However, the way in which it is implemented is the key to sustaining our hobby and, as DJI points out, the FAA's proposal will be costly, complex and fraught with problems whereas Drone-to-Phone can be quickly and easily employed at little or no cost while providing the mandated information. I particularly like that they have heard our concerns about showing pilot location to anyone other than officials with a need to know. I also like their suggestion that the FAA include wording that would make interfering with a UAS pilot at any stage of flight would be a criminal offense just as it would on board a manned aircraft.
