Compliance via Remote ID Broadcast Module
Verified from official sourcesWhich Drones Must Comply With Remote ID?Version 1Effective -Verified 22 August 2026
In plain language
If your drone does not have built-in Remote ID, you can attach an external broadcast module. When using a module, you must keep the drone within your visual line of sight at all times during the flight.
Requirement as structured
Operators may comply with Remote ID by attaching a broadcast module that transmits drone identification, location, and take-off location, provided the pilot maintains visual line of sight at all times.
Original regulatory text
Operate a drone with a Remote ID Broadcast Module attached, which broadcasts identification and location information about the drone and its take-off location. The broadcast module can be added to a drone to retrofit it with FAA Remote ID broadcast capabilities. Pilots operating a drone with a Remote ID broadcast module must be able to see their drone at all times during flight.
