Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, we have 4 stories for you this week: Remote ID enforcement begins, Bill to control airspace in Illinois Senate, St Louis Drone Bill update, and DJI Avata 2 Leaks.\\n
First up the FAA\\u2019s deferred enforcement of remote ID ends this Saturday. \\nThis means that remote ID is now required to operate any drone that is registered or needs to be registered.\\nIf your drone doesn\\u2019t have remote ID, you can equip it using a broadcast module or you can fly it at a FRIA.\\nFRIA information is available in the UAS Facility maps or on Aloft Air aware.\\n\\nhttps://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-extends-remote-id-enforcement-date-six-months\\n\\nNext up is an update on the St Louis drone bill that would regulate airspace\\u2026 \\nThe bill has passed the city\\u2019s legislature and is now on the Mayor\\u2019s desk. \\nLike we previously covered, this bill limits commercial operators and attempts to control airspace, including airspace around emergency vehicles, schools, publicly owned buildings, and events. \\nIf these laws are violated, a pilot faces fines and the confiscation of the drone. \\nThis is a perfect example of a municipality over reacting to a proposed drone operation. \\nWe\\u2019ll keep you updated if this becomes law. \\n\\nhttps://www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/city-laws/upload/legislative/boardbills/committee-substitute-amended/BB199CSAA%20Combined%20Final%205.pdf\\n\\n\\nThird this week is an Illinois bill that would also control the airspace.\\nThis bill would allocate the lowest 150\\u2019 to of airspace to be controlled by municipalities, who could create their own rules around \\u201cpublic\\u201d airspace. \\nIf you\\u2019re in IL, please reach out to Senators Julie Morrison and Linda Holmes to let them know this bill goes against the FAA\\u2019s sole jurisdiction of the airspace. \\nIt\\u2019s also interesting to note that this bill doesn\\u2019t specifically attempt to restrict UAS, but instead would apply to all aircraft.\\nAnother one we\\u2019ll keep you updated on!\\n\\n\\nhttps://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocTypeID=SB&DocNum=2849&GAID=17&SessionID=112&LegID=151674\\n\\nEnding on a better note, ther's leaks for the DJI Avata 2\\u2026\\nLeaded pictures show the Avata 2, which appears to be a streamlined and a bit thinner version of the original Avata.\\nWith the leaked drone images come another set of DJI goggles with forward facing cameras, possibly to allow for an AR Experience. \\nLeaked specs for the Avata suggest a 1/1.3\\u201d CMOS Sensor, 155 degree FOV, f/2.8, and 4K 60/100/120. \\nRumors say the drone will be about 480 grams and will fly for 27 minutes in normal/sport mode and 12-15 minutes in manual mode.\\nWe\\u2019ll have to see what comes of these leaks! \\n\\nhttps://dronexl.co/2024/03/10/dji-avata-2-goggles-3-specifications/\\n\\nAlright, that\\u2019s it, have a great weekend and we\\u2019ll see you next week on Monday for the live!
