[QUOTE="Earthman, post: 108814, member: 16717"] Although it can be part of the proposed Remote ID database, there is no reason that the system needs to make the PIC’s ID available to the public. Law enforcement can have private access to it, but the public doesn’t need it and shouldn’t have it since it’s an invasion of privacy for the PIC. If the FAA is going to do that, they should include the pilots of manned aircraft and publish the IDs of those using the database to ID the PIC. In any case, the privacy issue is pretty low on my list of concerns about the proposed rule. I’m more concerned about the cost of participating in Remote ID, the forced-obsolescence of my existing aircraft, the 400-ft horizontal distance limit, the loss of ordinary neighborhood flying sites, the eventual loss of approved flying fields, the eventual end of recreational flying, the loss of jobs and new development that recreational flying drives, and the fact that the supposed “need” for Remote ID is driven by a few commercial interests who may profit at our expense assuming that their commercial dreams materialize. I’m also irked about the fact that the commercial interests are building their aircraft and systems using technology largely developed for and by hobbyists. Maybe this should be framed as the FAA and commercial interests interfering with our pursuit of happiness. [/QUOTE]
