🧭 Instructor Note

Why This Matters for Your Business

Correctly displaying the registration number on your UAS is not just a regulatory requirement, it's a critical aspect of your business operations. It ensures traceability and accountability, which can protect your business in case of an incident or accident. Misunderstanding this requirement could lead to unnecessary complications and potential regulatory violations, which could harm your business reputation and bottom line.

Safety & Liability Considerations

Incorrect or missing markings on your UAS can lead to difficulties in identifying the owner in case of an accident, potentially leading to legal complications and insurance issues. Ensuring your UAS is correctly marked is a simple step that can significantly reduce these risks.

Consider This Scenario

A commercial real estate company uses drones to capture aerial footage of properties. They ensure that all their drones are correctly marked with the registration number in a readily accessible location. When one of their drones accidentally crashes into a private property, the registration number allows the property owner to trace the drone back to the company. The company is able to quickly address the issue, minimizing damage to their reputation and avoiding potential legal issues.

What the FAA is Testing

The FAA is testing your understanding of the UAS registration and marking requirements. Misunderstanding these requirements could lead to regulatory violations and potential fines.

Business Success Strategy

Ensure all your drones are correctly marked with the registration number in a readily accessible location. Regularly check the markings for legibility and replace them if necessary. This simple step can significantly reduce your risk of regulatory violations and potential legal issues.

Memory Aid

Remember, "Registration number is a must, for traceability and trust." This simple rhyme can help you remember the importance of correctly marking your UAS with the registration number.
