Verified from official sources
Section 20Version 1Effective -Verified 31 August 2026

In plain language

When using an external Broadcast RID module, make sure to mount it securely on the top-center of your drone. Ensure it does not block any sensors or get in the way of the propellers.

Requirement as structured

CAAS advises that add-on Broadcast Remote Identification (B-RID) modules must be mounted securely on the external upper surface of the unmanned aircraft, as centrally as possible, without obstructing propellers or sensors.

Original regulatory text

firmly on the external upper surface of the UA, without hindering the movement of the propellers and any onboard sensors. Do make sure that the module is mounted securely to prevent the module from coming loose during the flight. To minimise impact to flight performance and safety, the module should also be installed as central to the UA body as possible.
