Remote ID NPRM Response Guide

Deadline: March 2, 2020

The FAA has given us until March 2, 2020 to submit comments to the NPRM. Multiple groups have asked the FAA to extend that deadline but those requests have been denied by the FAA.

Create Your Comment as a Document

The form on the NPRM website has limited space for your comments but it also allows you to submit up to 10 attachments. We suggest you start working on your response by creating a document that you can attach to your comment. That way you will not be limited by the form and you can work on this document over time as you formulate your response.

Do Your Research

In order for you to submit the best comment possible, we suggest that you do as much research as you can starting with reading the entire Remote ID NPRM. We also understand that the NPRM is very long and complicated so we have prepared the following resources to help.

There are lots of other great resources out there to help you with your research. Consider checking out some of these as well.

Make It Personal

We believe that the most effective comments will be the ones that include a very personal story about how the hobby has improved your life. Keep in mind that the comments are public so don’t say anything you would not want the public to know, however the more we can show that this hobby and the community around it improves our lives the better. Tell the FAA about you, what you fly, where you like to fly, how often you fly, anything to help explain our hobby to them.

FPV Freedom Coalition Suggested Topics

We have confirmed with the FAA that copying and pasting someone else’s comment is not the most effective way to get you point across to the FAA. Our suggestion is to use these topics as a starting point to formulate a response using your own words. Wherever possible please provide solutions to the issues and concerns you have.
