I’m contemplating taking a hammer to my toy quadcopter and smashing it to pieces after the FAA on Monday announced new rules requiring most drone owners to register their UAVs in a national database and pay a $5 fee every three years.
FAA Releases Drone Registration Rules
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA has implemented new rules mandating registration for most drones weighing between half a pound and 55 pounds.
- Drone owners must register their UAVs for a $5 fee every three years (free for the first 30 days from December 21) to avoid fines up to $27,500.
- The author expresses frustration with these regulations, feeling compelled to register or dispose of a seldom-used toy drone, and anticipates widespread non-compliance due to lack of awareness.
