I would like to know how to confirm that my Mavic Air 2 (MA2UE3W) is transmitting the remote id.  I've already confirmed the following:
  • Found the sUAS on the FAA Declaration of Compliance page for RID
  • Updated the sUAS firmware to 01.01.1600
  • Updated the controller firmware to 04.11.0400
  • Found the Remote ID SN on the DJI Fly app, About page
  • Registered the sUAS on the FAA Drone Zone using the remote id in step 4
  • While the sUAS motors are running, looked for the remote id on another devices list of wireless networks (not listed)
  • While the sUAS motors are running, used the DroneScanner app to see whether the app detects the sUAS (not found)



Any idea on what I'm missing and why I cannot see the remote id in #6 or #7?

Hello, there. Thank you for sharing your query with us. If the Remote ID is working properly, DJI Fly will display "Takeoff permitted". After clicking "Takeoff permitted", you can see “Remote ID functionality normal”. We will check your queries with our relevant team for further suggestions. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you for responding.  I should've included those two items on the original list as I have seen both.  I would like to confirm that I see the RID broadcast; if I can see it, then I presume others can as well.  That confirmation will be good to have.  I look forward to learning more.

I've had better luck using the Air Sentinel App in seeing RID working on my drones.

I wouldn't say, just yet, that it's "all sorted out."  I've yet to see the RID broadcast, either on the list of wireless networks visible to my devices, or in the Droid Scanner app.  I will give the other app a go; I am a bit hesitant as that app has a very low rating on the Google Play store, and significant amount of 1-star reviews (I usually avoid these apps).  But, I will try.

I've download Air Sentinel to my tablet and tried again, looking for the Remote ID broadcast within both it and Drone Scanner, as well as on the list of WiFi networks visible to my tablet.  I saw the RID on none of them, which leads me to believe the sUAS is not actually broadcasting its RID.  I've search the DJI Fly app for some type of setting that would leave me to believe it's toggleable, found nothing.  Am I missing something, or is the sUAS not actually capable of broadcasting the RID?  As of right now, I cannot prove/confirm it is.

It can take several minutes for the drone to show up on any of the apps. If you have the latest firmware and Fly app, it is broadcasting.

Not all Android OS devices work. There are literally a ton of device manufactures which use Android OS and the mass majority won’t work. Open Drone Scanner app and Click on the Drone Radar icon and go to “how does Drone Radar work” Then click on “Device List and it will indicate which ones will work.

Hello, there. Thank you for your update. We're sorry that we don't have recommendations for the third-party app drone scanner. You may consider the feedback from others that may have recommendations for this type of app. However, there are several ways to check if the Remote ID is working properly.

Way 1: Remote ID status display on the DJI flight control app
Way 2: Remote ID status display on the DJI Goggles
Way 3: Remote ID serial number displayed in “Available networks” of the WLAN

If you use Airdata it will show in the log it is active at startup. It won’t show all the telemetry like with an app but should at least indicate it is transmitting which is what matters. If the firmware is up to date and the RID is shown in the DJI app then it’s legal. For me I don’t care whether some app recognizes it. Every app I’ve seen indicates they will only work on a small percentage of specific devices, not all as indicated in the other post I sent.

Thanks.  I see the RID in the app, and see the status message, so that tells me things are as they should be.  My concern is that if I can't see it, how do I know that it's actually transmitting and I'm in full compliance with the regulation?  I don't care where I see it (which app, network list, etc.), just as long as I see it.  I get the impression that if something were to come up later, the FAA won't accept ignorance of non-broadcast (but the app says it's there).  Maybe I'm over-thinking, but I am new to this, and don't know what to expect.

Way 1: Remote ID status display on the DJI flight control app

Hi again, thanks for the continued updates.

I believe Way 3 is what I've tried, and failed to see.  While the drone was operating, and in a hover position about 10' from the ground, I used a second device to look up the available networks.  I see my house network and its guest network, but those around the neighborhood, but I don't see one that has the format of RID-xxxx - shouldn't I?  Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Quick question here, sorry those are my first posts here and sure to end of the year I need to learn fast new things I was not aware... I am in EU and I have Mavic Air 2 with the latest firmware and latest DjiFly app. I followed above instructions but nowhere in the app I can find RID.

Am I missing something or do I have to buy external RID device for my drone here in Europe?

Hi Saygone.

I don't know enough about RID to say whether your location in the EU factors into this discussion.  Beyond that, first make sure that you've upgraded the firmware on both controller and aircraft to the latest versions, and install the latest version of the DJI Fly app.  In my original post above, I have listed the versions of each that I have installed and can see the RID in both places with DJI Fly.

This link may help:  User Guide for FAA Remote ID Compliance.  I just found it, so haven't had time to read and digest it yet.  Under posts 2.7 and 2.8, there are screenshots from the 2 places within DJI Fly where you can confirm that RID is functioning.  

Regarding the DJI Fly app, pull it from DJI's download page.  I installed from Google Play and realized it's several releases behind.

If you're still having issues, I'd recommend starting a new thread to get help for your specific issue.

Hi bryan_e_k!

Thank you for reply.

In fact i have all up to date. The last part that I can think of is, if I  need to be airborne when checking this out it for you it is just matter of turning on the drone to see RID section?

Hi bryan_e_k!

Thank you for reply.

In the DJI Fly app, the RID will display once the pre-flight checks performed by the app are complete; the rotors don't need to be on for the RID to display.  I've read elsewhere that for it to be broadcast/seen, the rotors do need to be operating; I don't know whether this is true.

Hi - yes, I do see the message highlighted in the image, and I see the RID value on the About page.  The only thing I haven't been able to do is verify on a separate device that the RID is visible - I'm looking for my own, proof positive verification that I can see the RID from my device somewhere.  That way I can fly with confidence that the RID is broadcasting and I'm in full compliance.

Hi.  First, I have the Mavic Air 2, not 2S (not sure if there is a difference).

I've not tried recently.  I did not look to see whether either location DJI Fly stop displaying the status while in flight.  I can try that over the next week.  If you're referring to outside of DJI Fly and in available networks on my other mobile devices, I've never see the RID appear there - my understanding is I should see, on available networks, RID-xxx where xxx is the RID displayed on the About page of DJI Fly.

My question is, in my mind, very simple:  while my DJI Mavic Air 2 is in flight, how do I see the broadcast RID outside of my controller?  What I'm looking to do is simulate what others will see while I'm in flight.    This is really just a feel good for me that I'm in full compliance with the FAA rules regarding RID.  I don't have a preference where I can see it, just want to see it somewhere.  Thanks again for staying engaged on this question.

Hi, quick update:  yesterday evening I was able to see my MA2 on Drone Scanner, running on my Google PIxel 8 Pro. I no longer use this smartphone to operate the aircraft; I use a tablet now so I have a larger screen. I'm glad that I'm able to personally verify the remote id is broadcast as expected. The tablet I switched to is a Samsung A9+. I tried using my Amazon Fire 8 (I think it's an 8). I'm not able to use the Fire with DJI Fly and Drone Scanner doesn't pick up drones.

Hi! What exactly did you do to find your drone in Drone Scanner? I'm bashing my head around it for quite some time, and it never shows up. I use the spare phone that isn't connected to any wifi network, open up the Drone Scanner app - and nothing happens.

Do you need to take off for the drone to start broadcasting ID?

Hi. Frankly, it's been so long I don't recall whether I actually did anything to get it to appear. I did run Drone Scanner on my phone, controlling the drone with a tablet. Prior to takeoff, I confirmed that DJI Fly reported the RID was functioning. A message does appear on the home screen, plus, you can drill into the menu to see the status. Whether I had to take off first, I don't know, but I'd doubt it-as the RID is being transmitted, it shouldn't matter whether the drone is in flight, but maybe. Since I got it working and saw it that one time, I've not checked DS. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I have a lot of interest in Drone technology, recently I have done research on Mavic Air 2 and composed a research paper for this. But I was not sure if it is good or not but thank fully professionals at https://nerdpapers.com/ help me to refine my search paper now I am satisfied with my research paper.

I also tried using a Fire tablet to verify RID was working, but can’t get it to display anything. Switched to a different tablet, and Drone Scanner/Sentinel both worked for my DJI Mini 3 (large battery). Anyone know what to tweak on the Fire tablet to get it to work?
