What condition must be met for UAS operations over people?

For UAS operations over people, having a built-in remote ID is essential to ensure safety and compliance with regulations. Remote identification technology allows a UAS to broadcast its identification and location information to other aircraft, people, and law enforcement. This transparency is crucial when operating over populated areas, as it helps mitigate risks to individuals and enhances situational awareness for both the operator and those on the ground.

The introduction of remote ID requirements aligns with regulations aimed at integrating UAS safely into the airspace and addressing concerns regarding privacy and security. When UAS operators use the built-in remote ID feature, they are contributing to a safer operational environment, especially in situations where their aircraft might operate near or over people.
