[QUOTE="SirThomas, post: 119259, member: 16273"] This is speculation on my part, but the fact that the rule says that devices will NOT be permitted to use ADS-B (because so many units transmitting might overwhelm the receivers) almost implies a separation of the airspace above and below 400 ft. Above 400 ft the ADS-B will provide location information and below 400 ft, this Remote ID broadcast will provide location information (for now). This could cause some complication for commercial aircraft that also operate in airspace below 400ft but not within a restricted airspace (i.e. places we're not allowed to fly already such as near airports, heliports, etc). In addition to ADS-B, they might need to have a Remote ID receiver to determine if there are any drones in the way of their intended flight path. I think this probably applies mostly to helicopters. I'm sure a news chopper hovering over some area would like to know if there are drones also hovering in the area, particularly since they cannot use radio to communicate with the drone pilots the way they can with other helicopter pilots. In the same way that the FAA has been working on nextgen traffic control systems (including ADS-B), I could see a future where the FAA works to try to converge on a single aircraft identification system that applies to both "commercial" aircraft and helicopters as well as UAVs so that there is a single collision-avoidance system from 0 ft and above rather than just 400 ft and above. First phase might be what we're seeing now with this Remote ID requirement. [/QUOTE]
