ADU 01075: How FAA’s NPRM for Remote ID for Drones Will Hurt the Industry with Jon McBride - a podcast by Drone U

Discussing the Impact of the Proposed Remote ID Rule on Hardware, Costs, Hobby Flying, and the Overall Drone Industry...



Today's show is about FAA's NPRM for Remote ID for drones. Jon McBride from RMUS joins us to discuss how this proposed rule will impact the drone industry as a whole.



We startthis show with Jon sharing some interesting experiences from his 30-year long flying career. We discuss how public perceptions and drone laws have evolved over the years.



Next, Jon provides his take on the Remote Identification NPRM. At his company, RMUS, Jon has been building all kinds of custom drones and drone accessories. He shares how the passage of this proposed rule could make current equipment non-compliant. In our previous blog post, Vic has discussed all the additional costs that a drone pilot will have to bear if this NPRM were to go through.Jon also discusses the potential impact on hobby flying at length. A long-time AMA member, Jon shares how the inability to fly nowhere else but in the FRIA's will severely restrict the hobby pilot. We also discuss the rationale behind this proposed rule. Is there a need for network-based Remote ID when DJI drones are already equipped with a broadcast-based system? And, can Remote ID truly help keep nefarious activity in check?



We wrap up this show by discussing the impact of this proposed rule on drone pilot privacy and safety.
