Compliance via Remote ID Broadcast Module

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.
