2.7 What actions do I need to take if I want to comply with the Remote ID rule by upgrading RID-compliance firmware?
In theory, no action is required until September 16, 2023. If you are already planning to comply with the Remote ID rule, you may need to take the following three actions.
Action 1: Upgrade RID-compliant Firmware
- The RID-compliant firmware released by DJI meets the compliance requirements of Standard Remote ID. To meet the requirements of the FAA Remote ID rule, both the drone firmware and the DJI flight control app need to be upgraded. The following operation must be followed as well:
- If you are a user of a DJI remote controller without an integrated GNSS system, such as DJI RC-N1, you need to connect an external device with an integrated GNSS system such as a cell phone or tablet as a location source to it, and must run the DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly in the foreground and always allow the DJI flight control app to obtain its location information.
- If you are a user of a DJI remote controller without an integrated GNSS system, such as DJI Motion Controller and DJI FPV Remote Controller 2, and wearing a DJI Goggles without an integrated GNSS system, you need to upgrade the firmware of the DJI Goggles, connect the above external device as a location source to the DJI Goggles, run the DJI flight control app such as DJI Fly in the foreground and always allow the DJI flight control app to obtain its location information.
- If you are a user of a DJI remote controller with an integrated GNSS system, such as DJI RC, DJI RC Pro, DJI RC Plus or DJI Smart Controller, you need to upgrade these remote controllers to the latest firmware released in September 2022 or later.
Action 2: Add drone Remote ID information on the FAA Drone Registration System
Under the Remote ID rule, the Certificate of Aircraft Registration of the drone used in the operation must include the Remote ID serial number of the drone. Each applicant for a Certificate of Aircraft Registration must submit the following required information to the Registry:
- Drone manufacturer and model name
- Remote ID serial number
There are two ways to register a drone in the United States:
The following guide takes the online registration of drone at FAA DroneZone as an example. The registration of DJI agricultural drone may require the operator to register by mail. For detailed requirements, please visit the FAA website.
Note: You may not be able to update the information of an already registered drone at the registry, such as adding the Remote ID serial number, and you may have to add a new device registration and then delete the old one after completing the new registration.
When you choose "ADD DEVICE" in "Inventory" on the FAA DroneZone webpage, the following window will pop up, asking you to enter the Remote ID related information.
Below we guide you on how to fill in the required information.
DOES YOUR DRONE BROADCAST FAA REMOTE ID INFORMATION?
If you have completed the above Action 1 and confirmed that the Remote ID functionality is working properly Note [1], you can select "YES"
DEVICE TYPE
Select “Standard Remote ID”
UAS MANUFACTURER
Enter “DJI”
UAS MODEL
Particular “MODEL” can be found on the approved DOC published by the FAA, as shown “DJI Air 2S” below:
REMOTE ID SERIAL NUMBER
If the drone has a 20-digit alphanumeric serial number (always prefixed with 1581F)
In this case, the Remote ID serial number is the same as the aircraft serial number, and generally the same as the flight controller serial number, for example: Mavic 3 series, Mini 3 series, Avata, Matrice 30 series, Mavic 3 Enterprise series, etc. You can check the serial number of the drone in various ways:
- Serial number on the box sticker Note [2]
- Serial number inside battery compartment or elsewhere on the fuselage of the drone Note [2]
- Serial number inside the DJI flight control app
- Serial number inside “Available networks” of the WLAN Note [3]
Note [1] See 2.8 below - "How to check if the Remote ID functionality is working properly?"
Note [2] Visit DJI service webpage for more information:
Note [3] See Way 3 in 2.8 below - "How to check if the Remote ID functionality is working properly?"
If the drone has a 14-digit alphanumeric serial number
In this case, the Remote ID serial number is not the same as the aircraft serial number (or flight controller serial number), for example: DJI Air 2S, Matrice 300 RTK, Agras T30, etc. You can get the Remote ID serial number of these drone in the following 2 ways:
- Remote ID Serial number inside the DJI flight control app
The following picture shows the Remote ID serial number on DJI Fly and DJI Agras app using DJI Air 2S and DJI Agras T30 as examples respectively.
- Remote ID Serial number inside “Available networks” of the WLAN Note [3]
Note [3] See Way 3 in 2.8 below - "How to check if the Remote ID functionality is working properly?"
After filling in the required information, as shown in the figure below (take Air 2S as an example), click "ADD DEVICE".
Action 3: Affix a RID compliance label to your drone
Under the FAA Remote ID rule, drones with Standard Remote ID capabilities are required to have a RID compliance label affixed to indicate that the drone complies with the Remote ID rule. Newly produced drone will be affixed with RID compliance label before leaving the factory. For drone have been upgraded with RID-compliant firmware but do not have a RID compliance label affixed, contact DJI Support for how to label your drone.
