[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 108635, member: 18605"] I've been poring over the NRPM since its release and trying to formulate a response that conforms to their suggested "Commenter's Checklist" to maximize effective input. To do that, I need input from knowledgeable forum members on specifics of how our drones work and how the FAA's proposal may have a negative impact. I will recite from the NPRM published in the Federal Register and reference page number(s). My first question for you pertains to drone operation under the Standard Remote I.D. method, is specific and limited to how the drone communicates with the controller. Let me know your thoughts and how I can strengthen my response. [I]XIX. Regulatory Notice and Analyses - 3. Cost and Savings Summary -.iii. UAS Producers (Pg 62 para. 1) Operators of limited remote identification UAS must transmit message elements to the Remote ID USS from the control station, which could be an electronic device such as a smart phone or tablet.
