Relief for Remote ID: The FAA Extends Compliance Deadline for Drone Operators
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.15.23
With days to spare, the FAA has officially extended the deadline for drone operators in the U.S. to comply with Remote ID equipage and transmission requirements by six (6) months, until March 16, 2024. The original compliance date of September 16, 2023 was seen as unattainable by many drone operators due to the FAA’s slow approval of manufacturer Declarations of Compliance and unavailability of software updates from manufacturers.
The FAA has made clear that this is the last extension that will be granted, and that operators who remain non-compliant by March 16, 2024 could be subject to enforcement action in the form of monetary fines and suspension or revocation of pilot certificates. Therefore, operators should continue to work diligently to comply, despite this extension.

Companies currently operating or constructing data centers near residential communities should treat this as a material and growing legal risk.
