Part 89 Explained

In April 2021, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) implemented a new rule, Part 89, which requires Remote Identification. In essence, this rule creates new operational, performance, and message element requirements for drones, with an 18-month certification deadline for manufacturers and a 30-month deadline for pilots. The timeline for compliance is short, and it is essential that your filing is correct.
