FAA Registration
As of December 21, 2015, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has
mandated that all Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) of a certain weight must be
registered with the FAA before flying outdoors. This includes aircraft commonly
referred to as drones, quadcopters, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and the like.
The Online Registration fee is $5, but will be credited back to your account if the
registration is completed within the first 30 days of ownership. Once completed, the
registration is valid for 3 years.
Which UAS Must Be Registered?
The Online Registration requirement applies to all UAS that weigh between 0.55 lbs
(250g) and 55 lbs (25kg).
The Sky Rider Falcon Pro meets this requirement, and must be registered, with the
Registration Number permanently affixed to the craft.
Who Can Register?
• Anyone 13 years of age or older. A person who does not meet this age
requirement must have their UAS registered by someone 13 years of age
or older.
• A US citizen or legal permanent resident.
What Do You Need to Register?
When registering online, you will need:
• A valid email address
• A Credit or Debit Card
• A physical and mailing address (if different from physical address).
