Does The Holy Stone HS100 Need To Be Registered?
Yes, the Holy Stone HS100 does need to be registered. All drone buyers must register their drones that weigh over 250 grams (0.55 pounds) with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The Air 2s weighs 750 grams which fits the registration requirements.
Why Does This Drone Need To Be Registered?
The FAA mandated drone registration and was created to combat negative attitudes about drones in public. The reality on the ground is that most drones are safe and nuisance-free. In fact, the Federal Aviation Administration created the Small Unmanned Aircraft Rulemaking Committee to “establish a framework for integrating unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS).”
The committee was created in 2017 and is responsible for recommending all required regulations regarding drone operation in the US.
You will be legally permitted to take any flights once you have registered your drone with the FAA. You must enter your name, address, and drone registration code online to obtain your registration number.
You can check your drone registration at any time on the registration database website.
It will be evident if you have registered a drone by its registration number on the drone. However, if you still need to record your registration number, you should still be able to find out if you have registered a drone by checking with your state’s aviation authorities.
