Kitplanes Magazine speaks out against the NPRM!
Paul Dye over at Kitplanes Magazine has written a great article that clearly articulates the issues with the NPRM. Check it out here!
Excerpt:
“It is a draconian proposal that has clearly raised a lot of ire. But it needs to raise more, so the EAA asked the FAA for an extension of the time period to allow more comments. The FAA very abruptly denied this request, saying that they will not allow an extension due to security concerns and the dire nature of the threat posed by drones.”
“Dire threat”, my ass.
Amazing new video from Initial FPV!

DJI isn’t very impressed with the FAA’s nonsense either…
Way back on the 14th of January 2020, DJI posted a blog article describing the things they see wrong with the FAA NPRM. They’ve presented sane Remote ID proposals in the past, which of course have gone ignored by the FAA. I think that Remote ID for commercial drone/UAV/UAS operators is a good thing. However, Remote ID has no place on hobbyist aircraft and regardless of the result of the NPRM, no aircraft I fly will ever carry one.
DJI presents a pretty clear case as to why the current NPRM from the FAA is completely idiotic. You can read their blog entry here: We Strongly Support Drone Remote ID. But Not Like This.
