One way to think about SkyID and Remote ID is that it’s simply a digital license plate for the aircraft. It provides required information about the aircraft’s location and identification, which, if necessary, can be used by air traffic control or law enforcement to determine who and what is flying.

SkyID is compatible with aircraft that require RID and airplanes of almost any size and allows your aircraft to be tracked in real-time. SkyID allows you to be in compliance with the latest Remote ID mandates by offering a Direct and Broadcast RID solution via Bluetooth.

Frequently-Asked-Questions

What is Remote ID?

Remote ID is the ability for an RC aircraft to provide identification and location information that can be received by other parties.

When do the FAA rules on Remote ID take effect?

RC pilots are required to comply after September 16th, 2023.

I only fly RC aircraft at AMA club fields, do I need a Remote ID module?

If you are flying at a designated FRIA (FAA-Recognized Identification Area), such as a club flying site, you do not need a SkyID Module, or any form of Remote ID. AMA-chartered RC clubs can apply for their flying site to be recognized by the FAA through AMA.Visualize it: See FAA UAS Data on a Map (arcgis.com)

What is the Spektrum SkyID Module?

SkyID is Spektrum’s Remote ID Module that allows RC aircraft pilots to comply with the latest unmanned aircraft rulings by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

When do I need to use the SkyID module?

When flying RC aircraft in areas not designated as FRIAs (FAA-Recognized Identification Area).  For more information on FRIAs, please visit:https:// for more information on firmware updates.

What are the potential penalties for non-compliance with the FAA Remote ID regulations?

Non-compliance could lead to fines and other more severe legal penalties.

How does the SkyID module impact the performance or flight characteristics of the RC aircraft?

Should not be noticed in any way during flight, on very light models it may have a small affect on performance due to the small added weight.
