Good afternoon.
I occasionally fly my original Parrot Anafi (purchased in 2020 or 2021) and was considering adding an add-on RID module. (I also fly for a fire department, and we had to add a module to our Autel EVO II for compliance whenever the FAA begins enforcing RID rule.)
I decided to go into settings and turn on DRI just to test it. I did not enter the 16-digit (apparently European) registration number and associated key, as prompted if I click "Edit" in the Free Flight software (under security in the settings page.)
I then tested the drone with a short flight and used the "Air Sentinel" app to see if it was broadcasting. It picked up the UAS immediately, showed the registration number and was accurately depicting flight status (altitude, heading, speed, location, etc.)
I then went into FAA DRone Zone and edited my UAS specifics for the Parrot Anafi, choosing "Yes" for Remote ID and entering the RID registration number. All was accepted.
Not sure if this would pass the FAA litmus test, but since it's broadcasting properly, and the RID registration number matches up, I'll keep flying it for now.
Thoughts?
