Under 14 CFR Part 89, a drone equipped with Standard Remote ID is required to broadcast a specific set of data elements from takeoff through landing. Which of the following is the most complete description of what must be broadcast?
Why →
Standard Remote ID broadcast includes: a unique identifier (serial number or session ID), latitude and longitude of the drone, geometric altitude, velocity, latitude and longitude of the control station, a time mark, and an emergency status indicator. This is broadcast continuously during flight on radio frequency protocols (Bluetooth or Wi-Fi) that anyone with a compatible receiver can read. Operator name, mailing address, and other personal identifiers are not broadcast.The trap →
Choice C is the most common misconception: students assume Remote ID reveals the operator's identity to the public. It does not. Remote ID broadcasts device and flight data; personal identity is looked up through the FAA registration database by law enforcement only.SOURCE → 14 CFR § 89.305; 14 CFR Part 89 Subpart DCHECKED APR 21ACS I.B.K3MED
