Want to have an event to fly drones without Remote ID? Apparently you can start the process to get a temporary event FRIA by sending the #FAA an email at RIDAuthorizartions@faa.gov
This would be what you would use to create an #fpv race event etc. where you would want to fly drones that don't have remote ID at a location where a FRIA does not currently exist.

Air travel over the Fourth of July holiday in the US wasn't affected much by 5G. But some airlines, including JetBlue and Delta, are still putting the finishing touches on their altimeter upgrades...
I should also say that #Boeing was never really held to account for this massive wrongdoing and (former CEOs) James McNerney and Dennis Muilenburg are off counting their millions somewhere.
That. Ain't. Right.
Naturally, Boeing tapped Dave Calhoun, who was on Boeing's board while this wrongdoing occurred and tried to downplay the wrongdoings later, as their current CEO.
In an era of, what should be, increasing scrutiny of outsized, asymmetric and unnecessary transportation-related emissions… this #FAA “privacy program” (and this seemingly white-glove support service from the FAA to set it up) for the private jet owners and operators should not exist.
You all realize you have to register a #drone with the #FAA, whether it's for recreational or business use? The specifics of the drone, plus the pilot/operator's info is required.
Last I checked, drones were not in the top 25 weapons used for mass murders.
Are drones more regulated than gun purchases?
Well, it's a start but not sure suing the FAA is the best course of action. While they should be held accountable if they engaged in contract "wrongdoings", SpaceX is ultimately responsible for its actions - and that may include misleading the FAA and others.
NEW: The #FAA is being sued over allegations that the agency violated the National Environment Policy Act when it allowed #SpaceX to launch the largest rocket ever built without a comprehensive environmental review. #legal https://t.co/qpmKazbqyG
About the Starship launch, once more. On Friday 14th #FAA made a release saying that #SpaceX got a five year Vehicle Operator License for #Starship prototypes. However, the publicly available Launch License for Boca Chica, TX (LRLO 20-119C) will expire end of next month. Was this a use-it-or-lose-it situation? That would explain the hurry to launch despite knowing the tower base wasn't ready and would be destroyed without a flame diverter.
good read on the outcomes of the #starship#spacex launch. It really does not bode well for starship, and thats only based on the current issues with the launch. The article does not go into the regulatory risk that comes with any revision to the launch base, which obviously has to happen. It does mention that barely anybody knows the actual financials of spacex, which is also a big red flag. ZIRP is over, and financing will get more expensive.
Sure the idea is to quickly reiterate on the design, but how many reiterations can spacex still afford?
@flowerpot@laurenshof The #FAA is a deeply flawed regulatory agency that has seen its robustness and, effectively, its mandate (that was always contradictory) eroded over the years due to a variety of forces.
And that is saying something because the FAA is one of the most robust regulatory agencies under USDOT.
For example, the #NHTSA, which is supposed to regulate highway and vehicle safety is so ineffective that it might as well not even exist.
