[NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21

[Atwood, Mark]

I think you give the Government waaaay too much credit.

I really think we’re over thinking this.  In the end, this will have little or no impact on us.  Yes, it’s a nuisance and like the FCC license will eventually go away.  In the mean time, it’s a rule on the books to placate the masses that “something is being done about those pesky and dangerous ‘Drones’ “ and it gives them some jurisdiction for the complete idiot that does indeed do something stupid like fly into the whitehouse lawn or prevent life flight from landing at an emergency scene.   For the rest of us, this is a non-event.

Return to your regularly scheduled programming….

They'll enforce it at the easiest place to do so . . . The model field. Also expect them to go after your full scale license, even though there are no standards for that.

I expect this to put a big stake through the heart of RC airplanes in the US.

Well, here it is boys and girls.  It's official and starts next Monday.  The link is for the FAQ's of what's happening.

 You only have to register once and you don't have to individually register all of your models.
You must be able to provide proof of registration and have it on you when flying.
You must have your Registration # (not going to be a N number) in your airplane where it is legible and accessible without the use of tools (aka under your canopy).
If you sell a model, you should update your records. (I don't completely understand this if we aren't registering all of our models individually but, OK)
Registration is $5 but you'll get that back if you register in the first 30 days, I believe.

Have a look at the link and prepare to be upset.....
