![]() ![]() The public can review both the Remote ID (PDF link below) and Operations Over People Rule (PDF link below) in the Federal Register.įor general inquiries on these new regulations and other UAS inquiries, please call 844-FLY-MY-UA or email the FAA. ![]() The final rule replaces the 24 calendar month requirement to complete a recurrent aeronautical knowledge test with the requirement to complete updated online recurrent training that includes the rule’s new provisions. It also expands the class of authorities who may request these documents from a remote pilot. The Operations Over People rule requires that remote pilots have their remote pilot certificate and identification in their physical possession when flying. The new FAA regulations jointly provide increased flexibility to conduct certain small drone operations without obtaining a waiver. Part 107 currently prohibits drone operations over people, over moving vehicles and at night unless the operator obtains a waiver from the FAA. Prior to flying under the new provisions, a remote pilot must pass the updated initial knowledge test or complete the appropriate updated online training course, which will be available on April 6, 2021. Additionally, this rule allows operations at night under certain conditions. The rule allows operations based on four categories, which can be found in the rule’s Executive Summary. The ability to fly over people and over moving vehicles varies depending on the level of risk a small drone operation presents to people on the ground. The Operations Over People rule applies to pilots who fly under Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Airspace awareness reduces the risk of drone interference with other aircraft, people and property on the ground. It provides crucial information to our national security and law enforcement partners, and other officials charged with ensuring public safety. Remote identification (Remote ID) requires identification of drones in flight as well as the location of their control stations or takeoff point. The final rules requiring remote identification of drones and allowing some flights over people, over moving vehicles and at night under certain conditions will go into effect on April 21, 2021.

Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Over People Delay Withdrawal Correction published rule: Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Delay published rule: There is nothing any of us (or any agency) can do. Our industry just happened to get some of the new rules caught up in that wide-spread net of law review.ĭon’t panic. ![]() It’s just part of the process of transfer of power in D.C. There is no blame to lay at anyone’s feet really. And even that is normal with a new Political Party comes into power after a Presidential Election. And even that delay was handed down to the DOT by the new administration. The delay is handed down the FAA by the DOT. To save you the hassle of looking that up, here is the PSI page for the UGR: Īnd remember, the blame for this DOES NOT lay at the feet of the FAA. If you need to become current this month, or before 4/6/21, you still have to go to a PSI Testing Center and take the in-person UGR, and (unfortunately) pay another $165. Additionally, the 107.29 waiver termination date has been changed to 5/16/21. Both of those are now pushed back to 4/6/21. And the latest recurrent and initial dates were 3/16/21. So what does this mean for 107 Pilots at the moment? The original date for OOP and RID was 3/16/21 (8 days from now, so close…), so that is now going to be 4/21/21. ![]() But, 107 Recurrent online training, and 107 in-person Initial testing will now be delayed until 4/6/21. So all things considered with RID, this is just a minor hiccup. So anything tied to the original effective date will be pushed back the same amount of time as the effective date, which is 36 days. It also pushes back the other aspects of RID (production compliance, actual compliance, etc.). The delay puts the new RID and OOP implementation date at April 21, 2021. And unfortunately, Recurrent Training and Initial Testing is affected too. The latest delay from the DOT deals with Remote Identification (RID), and since they’re tied together, Operations Over People (OOP). That new delay will be published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, 3/10/21. This morning the FAA announced yet another delay on some of the new UAS rules that were published on January 15, 2021. ![]()
