Remote ID Effective Date Delayed

Because of President Joseph Biden’s regulatory freeze and review process, the FAA is delaying the effective date of the final rule for Remote ID until April 21, 2021. The original effective date was March 16, 2021. As a result of the delay in the effective date, the compliance date for production requirements for Remote ID broadcast modules has been delayed until April 21, 2021. We do not expect this delay to have an impact on the September 16, 2023, compliance date for recreational users.
