Ok, new stuff is going on with drones (again) and it started on March 16, 2024. Am I correct on the following statements?
-
FAA now (as of March 16, 2024) requires drones that are used under part 107 to have one of two types of Remote ID which are A) the kind installed by whoever built the drone (Standard type) OR B) you buy a Remote ID device and put it on your own drone because it doesn’t have any Remote ID built in (Module type).
-
ADSB out/in does NOT count as Remote ID as shown on page 12.
-
Since the Cube Orange Plus (as well as all versions of the Cube autopilot family as of March 25, 2024) does not have a built in Remote ID circuit everyone that flies under part 107 must buy a module that will satisfy what the FAA wants.
-
The one that is plug and play with the Cube autopilot family is called Cube ID and costs about $40 for a serial only type or $60 for one that can do both serial and DRONE CAN connections. There is not an I2C version for the Cube family yet.
-
The instructions on how to install and configure it are here.
-
For part 107 guys I have to buy one Remote ID module (since the Cube family of autopilots don’t have built in Remote ID yet) per drone that I fly, which is not the case for non part 107 drone fliers as stated in the Registering Drones portion here.
