That's Prolly what it was then. I could not figure out how the FAA could be so careless but that makes sense about the scam "services".Glad it worked out, but it sounds like you went through one of those "services" rather than directly to the FAA. It was only $5 for a one number, unlimited use registration. They send you the number and registration card directly via email. A lot of folks got sucked in by these seemingly 'official' websites. With the recent court ruling, hobby registration is no longer required. I and others who have reported on similar threads keep the number on our birds.
Yes this stumps me as well. I am registered with the FAA however I am stumped by this article. My understanding is if you are non commercial and under 55 pounds you do not have to?
FAA's drone registration rule suffers major setback
I have not checked the FAA website in a few days but according to the FAA drone registration for non commercial use is only encouraged. I can see why 4.1 million$ over a five year period. I would encourage individuals to register as well. I support registration of drones, after all if my drone drops out of the sky and someone else locates and returns it, I will be notified. Likewise if it crashes into someone's car I would want to be responsible for the damages as well as get my drone back. It works both ways. If you follow the rules and are responsible the registration could be of assistance. If you on the other hand are breaking laws with the drone this could very well land you in trouble. Either way fly responsibly and help keep the heat off the community. We do not want legislation making registration, license, and insurance mandatory Not to say this would happen but.....
Can someone post a link to the proper area of the faa site for registration
So I'm still a bit confused.. I see that supposedly we no longer need to register, per this link, but I don't see that reflected on the FAA site. Can someone help verify if this is accurate right now or not? I'll happily pay the $5 if I need to of course, but why bother if I don't need to!
Thanks!
