May no longer need to register your quad with the FAA

[VirtueViolater]

just ran across this, may not have to register anymore?
Federal Appeals Court: The FAA's Registration Rule Violates Section 336 - RC Groups

Just received an email from the AMA. You are correct as of today you NO longer need to register with the FAA if you fly a drone that met their previous rules/requirements.

I'm not sure what else it means other than exactly that. You no longer need to register if you are a hobbyist or plan to use a drone for hobby purposes. If you read the "ruling" itself its geared toward the hobbyist. So I don't think its going to change or affect those that want to do "paid work" OR altitude limits or any of the other rules...

The AMA goes on to say, its a very fluid situation and can change rapidly....

Hey, Donnie is right. We need to start to be better at staying on topic so the site is well organized. I am guilty of doing this sometimes as well but will pay more attention.

(Yeah, I've been pretty bad about that too, I'm in.)

Back on topic. We all kind of knew this would happen. Once they started to realize how many people would register they would have to either jack the fees for registering, make you register every bird and turn this into a huge bureaucratic revenue generator or bag out of it and just go after the income producers.

on yt, i see lots of (mostly camera drone) pilots flying over neighborhoods and such and complaining when a neighbor or someone shoots or throws rocks at their quad. these guys are the ones imo that are gonna keep giving pilots a bad rep. dont fly over inhabited areas

btw, really glad the old crow in this vid had to pay........lol

It was a hopeless endeavour in any case with the way they were doing it. Those who wish to do wrong with drones will simply assemble their own and not register.

Were they thinking people would register their drones before turning "bad", and then forget to take their stickers off? It is a joke of a system.

i assume the registration is for the drone that falls out of the sky onto someones property damaging it. they know who to confront.
i myself have had 3 crashes that caught fire, if it had happened in the wrong spot.....
whos going to round up all these darn unregistered birds flying around crapping on my windshield?..........lol

 

[theGreenOrange]

If you fly by the rules, not flying over people, nobody should be underneath the drone anyways if it does crash. Proper failsafe should eliminate flyaways. I suppose voluntary registration isn't totally pointless but close enough for me.

I'm in to ...i have never been on a forum before...i will try.
I saw something on YouTube about no longer needing to register. (How to i unregistered? )LOL good stuff.
