Register my wife?

tjshelton · Jan 11, 2017

I know that the drone registration is really registering the pilot. As of tomorrow, I will have two drones (P3S & P4). I'm planning on putting the same number on both drones, but...

My wife has expressed an interest in flying. Does she need a separate registration, and if so, do I put both of our numbers on the drones, or???

No. You can put your registration number on your drones and let her fly.

PLEASE don't link to this scam website. Even if the information is correct, you are still directing people to a scam site. Who knows if the information is correct now or in the future.

Please explain why it is a "scam website". They clearly state that they are not affiliated with the FAA or any Federal Government agency. They also state what service they provide. I fully understand that some might feel the registration process is simple enough that third party assistance with documentation is unecessary, but I would like to know what the "scam" is so I can act accordingly. Also, I am not affiliated with the site in any way. I just thought the FAQ would be helpful to some.

It is a scam because they clam to register your drone for you, a $5 dollar process, and they charge you $299. Scam.

GFields · Jan 14, 2017

I didn't see $299. I saw $24.99. Nonetheless, the process is simple enough to do. So, why pay more? If someone needs help, I'll do the registration even provide labels (yeah, I have a label maker) and do it for $10.00 lol.

I just took a look at the site and noticed at bottom it explains they are not affiliated with the FAA. Nowhere on the page did it tell the cost of the service. Clicking on the link to register it asks for your info, but still does not list the price. I'm just curious how much info you need to provide before you are informed of the cost.

I did find the term of service interesting, in particular this section:

Same here. I made a specific point in my post to address the "you could do it yourself" replies I knew would follow, because I get that many would consider it a waste of money. I won't waste reader's time with a discussion of what a scam is or isn't. Rather I'll just say I posted this list because it was the most comprehensive list of the rules that I found. With the many questions that were asked about registration I thought it would help folks that couldn't find the info.

From what I could tell, and I read the rules at the FAA site, which were more spread out, the list was accurate, up-to-date and all in one place. I'll not belabor this further other than to say if it's helpful to you great use it. If it isn't, please feel free to disregard it. I also encourage those who don't like the site I shared or that list, to post one of their choosing that covers all the rules, or even a link to a previos FAQ or posting on this forum that lists all the rules. The need certainly exists.

You are absolutely correct! Best FAQ page on FAA registration I've seen. I suppose that will indeed help them get $24.99 for the service. I think many who have read your post took off on the wrong reason for you posting it. The bottom line is that NO ONE has to use their service and they state that themselves. With that said, take the negative comments with a grain of salt. It's all good!
