Remote ID

Remote ID, or formally Part 89 in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft, is a United States regulation instituted by the Federal Aviation Administration that requires unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to broadcast (via radio) location information about the airborne vehicle and a unique serial number for identification by law enforcement and the general public through a tracking chip.[1] Some have referred to it as a "digital license plate" for drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).[2][3][4]

The rule was announced on December 28, 2020, and is effective 60 days from the expected publication date in the Federal Register in January 2021.[5] Operators of UAS have thirty months to comply with the regulation and manufacturers have 18 months after the publication date to comply.[2][6][7]

The technical specification was developed with input from Airbus, AirMap, Amazon, Intel, OneSky, Skyward,[8] T-Mobile, and Wing.[9]

On March 17, 2021, RaceDayQuads, an online store selling FPV drone equipment, announced its founder Tyler Brennan had filed an appeal against the FAA for the Remote ID rule.[10] On July 29, 2022, the RaceDayQuads appeal was denied by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
