[NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21

Fri Dec 18 05:18:08 AKST 2015

Ah, yes -- Peter the eternal optimist -- benign government "training"! I.too, worked in a government laboratory, and the "training" we got was often redundant, repetitive, and done primarily to satisfy some congressional mandate, not to truly "train" us.

I think in this case they mean that based on your registration they can deliver training on the website as to what's allowed and not as well as send e-mails when someone does something boneheaded explaining why that wasn't a safe/legal thing to do

For all of us who have worked for the military/government we always had immediate and targeted education activities as a mandatory condition of employment. Miss your training and lose your access. Could be where FAA is headed.

# 4 sounds scary! Something about "immediate and targeted education activities" makes me a little uneasy. A knock at the door at 3:00AM and a nightstick to the head can be pretty educational. Not suggesting they would do that, it just doesn't feel right.

"Registration will 1) make it easier to identify the owners of the aircraft which has been involved in an “incident;” 2) facilitate compliance and education, and when appropriate, enforcement action; 3) encourage accountability by holding owner’s responsible for use and 4) establish a future basis for FAA to engage in immediate and targeted education activities which might not otherwise occur.

Missing from the official publicity of all this is the “What is this going to do?”. Is there any “official” information about what registration hopes to accomplish (as opposed to the “they’re coming to get us” theories)? Even if it was a page of “Know before you fly” info during the registration process, I would be more supportive. But all I can speculate on is that it is to “Hope we find that one little part that has the registration number on it”. We’ve all seen RC mid-airs and crashes, and know that often full recovery of parts is very difficult. If something bad happens, the odds seem pretty low that even if there is a number, it will be found and traced to the owner, even if there is one! 

It would perhaps be better to have the FCC mandate registering receivers/control units that have and “squawk” a unique identifier, than this poorly thought out solution!
