Which Drones are Compliant with FAA Remote ID Rules?

All md4-1000 and md4-3000 drones delivered after September 16, 2022, will meet the FAA regulations for Remote Identification.

In accordance with the FAA's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Remote Identification of Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Microdrones has updated the md4-1000 and md4-3000 platforms and received an official Remote ID Declaration of Compliance from the FAA.

The team at Microdrones ensured all newly manufactured UAV systems fulfilled the final rule on remote identification before the compliance dates set by the FAA. Therefore, distributors and customers who purchase new drone surveying equipment from Microdrones can be assured that all new drones meet the new standards set by the FAA. These include the ability to provide information about the Microdrones systems in flight, such as the identity, location, and altitude of the drone and its control station or take-off location.

Customers who already own drone surveying equipment from Microdrones, have until September 16, 2023, to upgrade their previous system to meet the FAA regulations for Remote Identification.

Vivien Heriard Dubreuil, CEO of Microdrones, explains why the fully integrated systems are so versatile. “Microdrones is a pioneer in the drone industry and one of the main benefits of our platform is our ability to adapt, update, and modernize the aircraft with new technology,” he said. “On the outside, the drone may look the same, but under the hood, we continue to modify our hardware, firmware, and software, ensuring we have the latest, cutting-edge technology. Our customers can be confident our systems complywith safety and regulatory conditions, such as Remote Identification, so they can continue to produce high-quality survey grade data.”
