Hilarious.
The R/C flyers can cripple the system in a week. There are only so many Tail Numbers... An N-Number can be in any of these formats One to five numbers (N12345) One to four numbers followed by one letter (N1234Z) One to three numbers followed by two letters (N123AZ) N-Numbers do not have A zero (0) as the first number The letters "I" or "O" Register everything you have.

Q. Do I have to register a paper airplane, or a toy balloon or Frisbee?
A. No. Even if these things could be considered "drones" or "unmanned aircraft" and met the minimum weight threshold of 250 gm/0.55 lb., the registration rules also require that they be a part of an "unmanned aircraft system." An "unmanned aircraft system" includes the communication links and components that control the small unmanned aircraft along with all of the other elements needed to safely operate the drone. Paper airplanes, toy balloons, Frisbees, and similar items are not connected to such control system. View Quote Did someone type that with a straight face? |

You know why this happened right! A few idiots caused problems with real aircraft, or spying on people and potentially causing harm to a person. They got lawyers involved, government stuck its nose in everyone elses business and now we got this.
These few idiots have caused ALL aircraft to be registered, not just the proposed drones as originally thought. I wonder how they intend to educate people on flying safely......oh thats right they don't. This is the job of the AMA, when you become a member. Registration is nothing more than feel goodism by the anti-hobbyists. I dont belong to AMA, and used to fly on private property when it wasnt a big deal. I live within Luke Air Force Base flight path, I suspect many of you don't live that close to an airport or AFB, I have had to seek permission to fly aircraft before, most of the time was okay. The one time it was not they were conducting sorties in the area I was flying in, and said NO. See page 31 of the pdf Table 4 says its not $5 each it says you the owner are registering yourself, apply for a number blah blah blah. page 39 says it also include model rockets https://www.faa.gov/uas/publications/media/RTFARCFinalReport_11-21-15.pdf RILA, Horizon Hobby, and many individual commenters supported registration prior to operation. They stated that this approach would make it possible to capture the many UAS that are purchased as gifts, from foreign web sites, or sold privately and those that are constructed by the operator. page 82 View Quote read page 104, some of the commenters are complete fucking retards. I went thru and read some of the comments, it emulates some of the stupid that gets posted on GD, what would one expect. Clarification/Request for Information:
Commenters also responded to the issue of a registration fee and how the fee should be collected based on questions posed in the Clarification/Request for Information. Of the commenters that supported a registration fee, the majority stated that the fee should be nominal and suggested between $1 and $40. Other commenters suggested fees as high as $250 for hobbyists and $1,000 for commercial users. View Quote The FAA may also use administrative action or legal enforcement action to gain compliance. Failure to register an aircraft can result in civil penalties up to $27,500. Criminal penalties for failure to register can include fines of up to $250,000 under 18 U.S.C. 3571 and/or imprisonment up to 3 years. 49 U.S.C. 46306 View Quote page 182-184 Read the 211 page document. You'll see how they came up with everyone registers for all Aircraft activities, commenters be damned, they help add some shit. 250grams = 8 ounces and some change. That aint much. Ive inquired about additional required information, because I fly, I dont want to be charged a fine and a felony or prison time which would cause a loss of my rights for flying a toy and taking the armchair commando tough guy talk about not complying. Internet tough guys. |

I don't know the FARs, but have they always been able to claim jurisdiction over all uncontrolled airspace below 500'? The now superseded regulation makes some reference to being able to sustain flight as a defining characteristic. Under that rule, none of my RC helicopters would qualify when flown by my ape-like grace. |

Not everything they set their gaze upon is interstate commerce, however. Merely owning something is not commerce, much less interstate commerce. But yeah, Wickard v Filburn. Logically speaking, unless someone is paying me to fly something through the air and across State lines, no flying interstate commerce has occurred. |

So frisbees and paper planes don't require registration because there is no direct control link to a person but a model rocket does require registration because.....?
