Real-Time Direct Remote Identification Broadcast

In plain language

While flying, the add-on will automatically and continuously broadcast your operator registration number, the add-on's serial number, the drone's position, height, course, speed, and your location (or the take-off point) so that nearby mobile devices can receive it.

Requirement as structured

A direct remote identification add-on must ensure, in real time during the entire flight, the direct periodic broadcast of the operator registration number, unique serial number, UA position and height, route course, ground speed, and pilot position (or take-off point) using an open and documented protocol receivable by standard mobile devices.

Original regulatory text

ensures, in real time during the whole duration of the flight, the direct periodic broadcast from the UA using an open and documented transmission protocol, of the following data, in a way that they can be received directly by existing mobile devices within the broadcasting range: i the UAS operator registration number; ii the unique physical serial number of the add-on compliant with standard ANSI/CTA-2063; iii the geographical position of the UA and its height above the surface or take-off point; iv the route course measured clockwise from true north and ground speed of the UA; and v the geographical position of the remote pilot or, if not available, the take-off point;
