Marking of Scale Models and Model Aircraft with Registration Number
Verified from official sourcesVersion 1Effective -Verified 25 August 2026
In plain language
You must label your drone or model aircraft with your operator registration number. For scale models, you can place this label inside an easily accessible spot like the battery compartment.
Requirement as structured
UAS operators must display their registration number visibly on all devices, though for scale models, it is permitted to place the registration number inside the aircraft in an easily accessible location such as the battery compartment.
Original regulatory text
Die Registrierungsnummer muss gut sichtbar auf allen Geräten angebracht werden, die Form bleibt dem:der Betreiber:in überlassen. Bei vorbildgetreuen Drohnen ist das Anbringen der Registrierungsnummer innerhalb der Drohne erlaubt. Bevorzugt sollte hier das zugängliche Akkufach verwendet werden.
