As a reminder, recreational fliers will need to comply with Remote ID requirements starting March 16, 2024. There are three ways to comply:
- Standard Remote ID
- Adding a broadcast module to your aircraft
- Flying at an FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA)
Many operators who plan to use the broadcast module option are wondering when they will be able to purchase one in order to be ready for that March 16, 2024, compliance date. There are a few broadcast modules currently available:
- uAvionix pingRID module
- Dronetag Beacon , Dronetag Mini, and Dronetag BS
- Drone Defence AeroPing module
- BlueMark DroneBeacon modules 1, 2, and 3
- Pierce Aerospace B1 beacon
- Aerobits idME
- Flite Test EZ ID
- Horizon Hobby / Spektrum Sky Module
- Holy Stone module
- Zing Z-RID module
Note: List last updated on 3/19/2024
AMA expects additional modules will be available before the March deadline, and hopes a more cost-efficient solution will be available soon. We will continue to monitor the release of new broadcast modules and keep our membership informed.
