[QUOTE="SirThomas, post: 107783, member: 16273"] The 3-year comes from the part of the document that says all devices must conform within three years to these rules, so was an interpretation on my part. The restriction on flying club locations was inferred by this portion on page 16 and 17: "[I]A person operating a UAS without remote identification equipment would always be required to operate within visual line of sight6 and within an FAA-recognized identification area. Under the proposed rule, an FAA-recognized identification area is a defined geographic area where UAS without remote identification can operate. An area would be eligible for establishment as an FAA-recognized identification area if it is a flying site that has been established within the programming of a community based organization recognized by the Administrator."[/I] The limited-identification tier seems to be focused on UAS that are restricted by design to fly no more than 400 feet from operator, but these would have to real-time transmit identification and location data to a UAS service provider over the internet . The FAA guestimated that these service providers would charge us operators about $2.50/month to subscribe to their service. If no internet, then it won't take off. So, I guess some field-upgradeable units could potentitally be converted to limited-identification tier. I could see DJI doing that with the Spark so it becomes limited to 400 ft away from controller, and the Fly software on the phone/tablet would require both WiFi connection to drone and either WiFi or data plan on phone/tablet to be able to connect to the ID service provider. The whole thing is interesting reading since it addresses each recommendation of a study group and either agreed with or rejected their recommendations. Thanks for the pointer to the other discussion thread. [/QUOTE]
