UAS Registration Renewal FAA Safety Team

UAS Registration Renewal 854, 584 Recreational Flyers 30, 144 (3. 4%) have renewed to date FAA Safety Team

How Did This Happen? Recreational flyers “must register”…“No they don’t”…Yes they do 2018 National Defense Auth Act restored the FAA’s registration rule “Must Register” - FAA “grandfathered” the expiration date to 12 Dec 2020 “No They Don’t” - If requested a refund of registration fees, re-register again after 12 Dec 2017; therefore expiration date = 12 Dec 2020 or later FAA Safety Team

What Are We Going to Do? Proactive, targeted emails Third party registrants Registered before Drone. Zone All others Coordinating with AMA to distribute info to their members Frank discussions with third party registration services FAA Safety Team

What is a Third Party Registration? Registrant uses a commercial web site thinking they are “talking” to FAA Commercial vendor charges fee(s) to register on your behalf Offers products such as ID cards & stickers Read the fine print! “We act on behalf of you (our client), and are not affiliated with the FAA. We are an independent site that was designed to assist in obtaining a registration number for you and supply labels and other products. ” FAA Safety Team
