Section 6: Remote ID & Equipment — AINautics Interactive Quiz

Q1. Standard Remote ID vs Broadcast Module—what’s the key difference?

Standard RID is built into the aircraft; a module is an add-on tied to registration There is no difference Module broadcasts only altitude Standard RID requires no registration

✅ Standard RID is integrated; module adds broadcast to legacy aircraft via serial tie-in.

❌ Both solutions broadcast required message elements; details differ.

Q2. Remote ID broadcast typically includes:

UA ID, UA location/altitude/velocity, control station location, and time/health Pilot name and phone number Camera model and bitrate Weather data

✅ RID includes aircraft ID and telemetry plus control station location.

❌ Personal identity and payload details are not part of the broadcast.

Q3. When is Remote ID generally required under Part 89?

For most outdoor operations in the NAS unless flying in a FRIA or otherwise excepted Only in controlled airspace Only above 200 ft AGL Only for commercial flights

✅ RID is airspace-agnostic; FRIA and specific exceptions exist.

❌ It isn’t limited to altitude or commercial status.

Q4. If a Standard RID self-test fails before takeoff, the Remote PIC should:

Do not take off; correct the issue or move to a FRIA (if available) Take off and troubleshoot in the air Disable RID in settings Proceed if VLOS is maintained

✅ RID must be functioning unless you’re in an allowed exception area like a FRIA.

❌ Flight with failed RID outside exceptions is not permitted.

Q5. A FRIA (FAA-Recognized Identification Area) allows:

Operations without broadcasting RID within the FRIA boundaries Higher altitude limits Beyond visual line of sight flight Operations over people anywhere

✅ Within a FRIA you may fly without RID broadcast; other Part 107 limits still apply.

❌ FRIA is not a BVLOS or altitude waiver.

Q6. If a broadcast module is used, the RID serial typically must be:

Associated with the aircraft’s registration record Kept private and not recorded Announced on CTAF Physically engraved on props

✅ RID serial ties the module to the FAA registration entry.

❌ Engraving/announcing is not required.

Q7. During flight you suspect the RID broadcast stopped. The best immediate action is to:

Land as soon as practicable and correct the issue Continue the mission—RID is optional Climb to increase reception Switch to ATTI mode

✅ RID must function; recover/land and troubleshoot.

❌ Continuing is not compliant outside exceptions.

Q8. Remote ID data can be received by:

Modern smartphones with apps that decode Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi signals Only ATC radars Only law enforcement equipment Satellite phones

✅ RID uses Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi; public apps can view broadcasts.

❌ Not limited to ATC or satellites.

Q9. You’re flying in a FRIA and leave the boundary unintentionally. You should:

Re-enter the FRIA boundary or land to remain compliant Nothing—FRIA extends 5 miles Turn off the controller Call ATC to request permission

✅ RID becomes required outside FRIA; re-enter or land.

❌ FRIA does not have a 5-mile radius nor ATC permission process.

Q10. Remote ID responsibilities rest primarily with:

The Remote PIC and owner/operator Bystanders Only the manufacturer Only the VO

✅ Operators ensure compliance in configuration and use.

❌ Responsibility is not shifted to bystanders.
