A remote pilot attaches an FAA-approved Remote ID broadcast module to a drone that was manufactured before Standard Remote ID was required. What additional requirement applies to operations with this module?
Why →
Under 14 CFR § 89.115(b), a drone operating with a Remote ID broadcast module (rather than built-in Standard Remote ID) must be flown within visual line of sight of the remote pilot or visual observer. Standard Remote ID drones can in principle operate BVLOS under future authorizations; broadcast-module drones cannot. The VLOS requirement is tied to the module compliance path specifically.The trap →
Choice B confuses manned-aircraft transponder requirements with drone Remote ID, which is a different technology (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi broadcast, not ADS-B). Choice C misses that the module path has stricter operational limits than the built-in path.SOURCE → 14 CFR § 89.115(b)CHECKED APR 21ACS I.B.K3MED
