I realize this is a couple months old but all the drone manufactures where mandated to make them RFID compliant by the FAA. The effective date of Remote ID compliance for drone manufactures was pushed back from September 16, 2022, to December 16, 2022. Bottom line all drone manufactures must have all drones sold compliant so this is why the Mini 3 and all newer drones have it regardless of weight. All Part 107 remote pilots must have RFID anyway regardless if it’s under 250 gram so it makes sense. Enjoy.
I think it is pretty clear:
Operating Rules
Under the final rule, all UA required to register must remotely identify, and operators have three
options (described below) to satisfy this requirement. For UA weighing 0.55 lbs or less, remote
identification is only required if the UA is operated under rules that require registration, such as
part 107. Operational rules take effect 30 months after the effective date of the rule.
Design and Production Rules for Manufacturers
• Most unmanned aircraft must be produced as Standard Remote ID Unmanned Aircraft and
meet the requirements of this rule beginning 18 months after the effective date of the rule.
Subpart F— Remote Identification Design and Production
§ 89.501 Applicability.
(a) This subpart prescribes—
(1) Requirements for the design and production of unmanned aircraft with remote identification produced for operation in the airspace of the United States.
(2) Requirements for the design and production of remote identification broadcast modules.
(3) Procedural requirements for the submission, acceptance, and rescission of declarations of compliance.
(4) Rules governing persons submitting declarations of compliance for FAA acceptance under this part.
(b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, this subpart applies to the design and production of all unmanned aircraft operated in the airspace of the United States.
(c) Except for unmanned aircraft designed and produced to be standard remote identification unmanned aircraft, this subpart does not apply to the design or production of:
(1) Home-built unmanned aircraft.
(2) Unmanned aircraft of the United States Government.
(3) Unmanned aircraft that weigh 0.55 pounds or less on takeoff, including everything that is on board or otherwise attached to the aircraft.
(4) Unmanned aircraft designed or produced exclusively for the purpose of aeronautical research or to show compliance with regulations. |
