[NSRCA-discussion] It gets worse: FAA confirms that drone registry info will be public record

Sat Dec 19 06:46:04 AKST 2015

There are also a few hundred more issues I can think of right off the top of my head when talking about JUST the number issue.

1)       Size and readability.  What's to keep someone like me obtaining access to a tunneling electron microscope from writing my number at atomic scale?

2)      Font, color?  Yes, inspector, my number is right there.  Its written in the same paint as the wing if my plane.  Or better yet, I stenciled it on using clearcoat.

3)      At what point during construction of a plane is it considered complete enough to require a number?

4)      What are the FAA’s limits on where they can inspect?  Can an inspector come to my house to check compliance?  They'll have my address now.

Time to drink some coffee and contemplate more ways they're gonna screw us at the drive-thru.

I haven’t been able to determine a requirement for the registration number, other than it be accessible without tools.  How about a tiny number on a minuscule strip of paper inside the canopy accessible via a hatch latch?
