registering UAV's

I went to check out the FAA webpage to fill out the registration form and nothing has changed. Nothing to fill out unless you do it by mail.

I also checked and nothing has changed yet. I guess who ever runs the website is late to work lol

No online registration available yet as of 0910 EST

Yup, I was checking it at my time midnight even, and nothing here CST time 8:12, I bet they get to work at 9am or something like that, sounds like the Goverment 9-5pm eh? maybe it's 10am their time to get going to work...loll in washington..or someone dropped the ball..

Trying to get a low N # is turning into a vigil!

The site should go live at some point during the day.  No one ever said it would be first thing in the morning.

Well supposedly being a professional government it seems like they would have stated on the webpage registration will begin at ( 9:00 a.m. or what ever time), or ( soon as we have our coffee and donuts). Obviously it is not that important.

Well, it's now 10:40 AM EST and there's still no active link on the FAA's website to permit UAS registration. Maybe the guy/gal is *really* late to work!

You will not get an "N" number for UAS registration. Those are "reserved" for "traditional" aircraft - according to the FAQ provided by the FAA.

apparently we won't get any numbers! ....lol  

Apparently some people have registered already ...

Those registrations are for full scale aircraft.

I got to the checkout and the cost was $25. Somethings not right here. I understand the cost was going to be nothing before Jan 20th.

The cost is $5.00 and if you register before the 30 days then you will automatically get your $5.00 refunded.
I don't know why it would ask for $25.

Thanks for the information on the correct site to register.  I registered with no problem.  Not sure how I am going to put the number on my aircraft.  Anyone have good ideas?

It can be as simple as writing your number on a piece of masking tape and placing it inside your battery compartment.

I did a search on the FAA website and typed in DJI.  I found many N numbers registered to many types of Phantoms and Inspires.  I 'm not sure if they are for commercial or not.  Take a look and search for DJI or any other drone manufacturer....
maybe commercial operators get an N number????

I beleive you are looking at commercial N numbers. The hobby numbers will be listed at a later date.

I have a 333 exemption and I'm also private pilot. As a commercial operator, all of my drones need to have a FAA N number if I'm using them for work.
