Still thinking reasonable?
Q: What is the penalty for failing to register?
A: Failure to register an aircraft may result in regulatory and criminal sanctions. The FAA may assess civil penalties up to $27,500. Criminal penalties include fines of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to three years.
Now consider the cash they could rake in on Christmas afternoon will all those new toys taking to the air and Mom & Dad blissfully unaware of the felonies being carried out by junior in the back yard.
Ouch!
This is certainly the thin end of the wedge then.... worse regulation yet to come from this.... :/

From FAQs
Q. Who is required to register on the new online UAS registration website?
A. Only individual recreational or hobby users who meet U.S. citizenship requirements are able to register their unmanned aircraft using this new streamlined web-based process. This new, faster and easier system will be available for other UAS owners soon.
Q. I am a citizen of a foreign country who lives in the United States. How do I know if I can register a drone with the FAA?
A. Federal law allows an individual citizen of another country who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States under the regulations of the Department of Homeland Security to register an aircraft, including a drone, with the FAA.

Q. If I don't have a scale and my drone doesn't appear on the list is there another method to tell how much it weighs?
A. Two sticks of butter weigh 0.5lbs.

This seems to include everything, not just FPV but all radio controlled models, even control line!
I wonder how many Americans would register to an identical system - if it was a new method to register ownership of guns ?
If an American does not register a gun - using whatever current registration system they have - are the fines, etc. as draconian as those to be applied for non-registration of radio controlled craft ?
Sounds to me like the Yanks now believe a drone is potentially more dangerous than a gun.
Anyone out there want to swap my Phantom for a 50 cal machine gun ???

I see your point but an American will say he owns a gun for self protection. Wether it's true or not is another matter. Can't say the same about a quad though can you?
I'm not saying you shouldn't register guns but the registration of drones is just pointless.
I kinda hoped that the USA would be a little more progressive than they're turning out to be. Wasted potential if you ask me!

Wild spurious conjecture about how much it might cost in the future aside it's probably barely even self-funding at $5 for three years per person. I don't think they are going to be balancing the government spending deficit on the back of it anyway.

It's actually all models over a certain weight (250g) which has done much to upset those who don't fly r/c.
And just to complicate things some model types have variable amounts of ballast depending on the weather conditions or type of flying. So you could have the same model at one flight below the weight and another flight above it. And theoretically you could also have a model which, due to fuel consumption could start off above the limit but end up below the limit. It'll all end in tears. :(
Any bets how long it will be before someone gets arrested or even tasered for breaking the law. Meanwhile the shootings continue because guns don't collide in mid-air with aircraft. God bless 'Merica.

Lawyer speak - "Toy balloon weighs less than 1/2 lb - so exempt from law".
A commenter on one of Xjets videos came up with a good question.
Are kites tethered drones? I mean they are kind of glider versions of control lines.
Reading the above comments has just reinforced to me how ridiculous this is - way too many grey areas.
On the plus side, if noone registers (pays) will they have the funds to enforce it? :D

Extract from page 44 :
The FAA agrees with these comments and has modified the proposed definition to refer to the total aircraft weight at takeoff and to include possible external attachments to the aircraft in the calculation of small unmanned aircraft weight. Accordingly, as provided in § 1.1, small unmanned aircraft means an unmanned aircraft weighing less than 55 pounds on takeoff, including everything that is on board or otherwise attached to the aircraft. If the unmanned aircraft is tethered by the cable in such a way that the cable, securely attached to an immoveable object, prevents the unmanned aircraft from flying away in the event of loss of positive control, only the portion of the cable which may be lift aloft by the small unmanned aircraft must be added to the weight of the unmanned aircraft when determining total weight.OK so we're now clear on that point I hope. ;D

Indeed, but if they are all filled with helium they have a negative weight and are therefore less than 250g. However, if he deflates them, and there are enough to exceed the weight limit, will he have to register them if they remain tied together?
How does this work though?
A craft is a lot heavier when its lipos are full of electricity on takeoff - near the end of a flight, it could be 5 or 600 grams lighter as they empty.
What would happen in this case?

Ownership of firearms is the second amendment of the constitution , based on the law of the right to keep and bear arms in English Common Law ( not Scotland NI or Wales) I suppose if drones had been around in 1791 they would have been incorporated.

In short :
Hold Off On Registering Model Aircraft
The (Academy of Model Aeronautics) Council is considering all legal and political remedies to address this issue. We believe that resolution to the unnecessary federal registration rule for our members rests with AMA's petition before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. This petition, filed in August 2014, asks the court to review the FAA's interpretation of the "Special Rule for Model Aircraft." The central issue is whether the FAA has the authority to expand the definition of aircraft to include model aircraft; thus, allowing the agency to establish new standards and operating criteria to which model aircraft operators have never been subject to in the past.

I was actually surprised and dismayed by IBCrazy's stance on the matter ... just to pay up to avoid a potential lawsuit because it was "only five dollars". I felt he missed the point entirely and was basically doing exactly what the FAA need people to do.. as they're told.
IMO this is the one chance people in the USA have to make the FAA work for them and come to a meaningful conclusion that is good for all parties involved - pandering to their whims is not the way to do that.
What, after all the litigation he's been through? No legal aid in the states you know, only a public defender. I reckon it's the safe thing to do, pay up, shut up, stay under the radar.

it's not "just $5" though is it? It's your personal information, which is priceless.
Exactly - it doesn't matter if it's $5 or $50 it's the fact that you, having done nothing wrong, have to provide your personal information to a government repository. And they're threatening to fine you up to $27,000 and/or a 3 year spell at Obama's pleasure with a felony on your record for good measure if you don't.
No way!
Mmm... the illegal flyer that causes the "incident" that didn't register his drone is untraceable. .. :goofy:

With this info the armed forces have exactly the list they need of names to forcibly call into the armed forces as offensive drone pilots (Reapers etc.) whenever a next major international conflict occurs.
This new list will join with all the other existing lists the UK Defence Dept already keeps, regularly updated, of people involved in various civilian occupations that, in time of conflict, could immediately assist a rapid increase in deployment of armed forces, e.g. lorry drivers, transport and other logistical personnel. Engineers of varying types (elec & mech); civil airline pilots, air traffic controllers, radar operators etc., etc.
Is their anything that a reaper and a phantom have in common apart from the name drone?! Why would a guy who flies RC aircraft be so suitable for that job?!

Piloting a military drone is very similar to fpv flying - the only differences are rc planes use 'short' range radio power, where as the military does it all by log range satellite communication.
Whilst not all hobby drone flyers will be experienced in fully immersive goggle fpv flying, I would guess a lot are used to flying with as a minimum, a monitor screen attached to their rc transmitter.
Don't know if this has been talked about yet, it isn't just the police & the FAA that can use the database:

This is all kinds of wrong.
It's bad enough government departments having access, but the public being able to find out too? You'd have to be off your rocker to sign it.
Why are people so conserned about their 'private' details?
I think people over estimate their own personal informations importance.... who cares if someone has a database with my name on it??? Not me....
What worries me more is the fact it's only a matter of time before this hobby is no more...or too expensive for registration and training to make it worth while :/

You are aware that this thread is about US drone registration (and indeed registration of any model aircraft above a certain weight) as a result of a scheme introduced by the FAA? No such thing exists in the UK.
And in pre-emptive response to "what happens in the USA eventually finds its way over here", the UK CAA has had well established regulation of model flying for many years. This regulation has evolved more recently to encompass FPV as I'm sure most of us are aware. In that respect we are way ahead of the FAA knee jerk reaction.
The opening part of my comment, "somewhere in a government Defence Dept.", was meant to refer to the USA.
However, the bottom part of my comment clearly refers, as you say, to the UK.
Whilst I agree with your comments re the CAA and "model flying" - that surely refers to pre camera carrying drones / FPV craft.
Much as I agree that the CAA do tend to try and seek comments and opinions from 'informed' sources - e.g. Simon Dale & BMFA, I feel they are now fighting a rearward action against European led directives. The CAA has had a number of countries also adopt its regulations, but the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is busy trying to assemble a set of regulations that that it will say should supercede the CAA / be adopted by all EU countries (European central government v. local independent governance). In my opinion these European regulations will not be as 'friendly' as the CAA.
I am still of the opinion that all western governments wish to keep updated lists of all people in occupations or hobbies that could be of use in case of a major incidence or war. I know - FOR a fact - that they used to. Any new hobby or occupation that would be of interest will also eventually become a desired database.
Where there's a revenue stream, there's a government department to "manage" it.
The Civil Service is always looking for 'new' tasks - helps them justify their jobs and demand more people need setting on.
I used to know a guy in my local County Authority who told me he, together with all the other managers at his level, spent most of their time trying to justify needing more staff - why - because the more staff under him, the greater became his importance / ability to justify a pay grade increase for himself !
Not sure he would still get away with it in these days of constrained budgets though.

Well no, CAA CAP658 was revised to include a section specifically on FPV, the wording largely being done by Simon Dale with further input by other interested parties. (Rather annoyingly the BMFA seem to be trying to take more credit than they are really due on this revision.) Also the exemption for FPV is currently on its 3rd version.
In addition the CAA have had CAP722 since 2002 which, although it is intended for people doing aerial work (commercial stuff), was used against a model flyer in a prosecution last year.
Its not quite the case that the CAA adopts EASA regulation - for certain aspects EASA is the regulator due to the UK being a member of the EU. The UK CAA still regulates certain aspects of civil aviation as delegated by EASA, or not yet controlled by EASA. This of course brings us to your later point of increased European regulation including our beloved hobby. It is probably inevitable but has not yet happened. What has happened in the USA is in part because they had NO regulation of model aviation, merely a single sheet of guidelines. For such an aviation conscious country it was quite staggering how far behind they were.

Hey Yankees.... Dollars waiting ;D

'Twas the week before Christmas, and all through the land,
A new registration system has now tied our hand.
Our shorts in a wad are all twisting,
Due to a rule on which the FAA is insisting.
Grown men and women, young girls and boys
Are about to shaken right down to their toys.
This is the year for Christmas drones,
But the FAA is about to squeeze our cahones.
All through the Internet, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my computer to look into the matter.
To my surprise, this thing that I own,
My model airplane, is now considered a drone!
Civil and criminal fines in the book,
Register my airplane or become a crook.
It isn't a drone that I fly in the air,
But the people seem no longer to care.
Make no mistake, all you Tomaters
RC enthusiasts are now aviators!
National Airspace has been redefined, so you knows
To include all the atmosphere right down to your toes.
Our quadcopters, our airplanes, our foamies by name,
Are all now considered one in the same.
Don't take pictures over our wall!
Just go away, go away, go away all!
To register or not, I asked myself why?
Technically, I have 60 days to comply,
But the local enforcer won't know that in the least,
When he asks me to show him the mark of the beast.
I tried to comply and pay my money,
But the website thought my credit card was funny.
Others who registered said this thing sucks,
When their names were transposed with some other schmucks!
In case you are wondering, the website is now down,
For site maintenance, they explain with a frown
But don't worry, it should be ready, they say,
To register your drone on Christmas day.
Thirteen or over, it's the law now, my boys,
You must register your new flying toys
Just be aware, when your child registers,
His data is public to all sex offenders.
The FAA administrator is a jolly old elf,
I had to laugh in spite of myself.
The way he worded it, I add with a sputter,
You must register anything weighing over two sticks of butter!
It is time to go flying, up to 400 feet in the air,
Please don't get to close to a sleigh flying there.
Don't fly over people, and have a safe flight.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

The AMA is continuing to fight against the FAA registration scheme but has now recommended that their members register. Some Q & As if you're interested. As one commentator has written "The FAA really don't seem to be watching the rest of the world and reinventing the wheel. They are years behind now. Behind in training, development and commercial use."
http://amablog.modelaircraft.org/amagov/2016/01/11/update-uas-registration-frequently-asked-questions/ (http://amablog.modelaircraft.org/amagov/2016/01/11/update-uas-registration-frequently-asked-questions/)
It should be noted that these Q & A's show that, in the USA anyway, to enjoy flying with various exemptions, e.g. above 400 feet or to fly at night, the pilot must be a member of the AMA.
I hope this doesn't give the BMFA ideas here in the UK. I do not want to be forced to join the BMFA to continue to exercise rights I already have.

I suspect this may be the case because until recently the FAA had no regulations for model aircraft or airplanes as they call them. The AMA had guidelines however which had to be better than the FAAs nothing. The same situation does not exist here where the CAA has regulations and recognises not only the BMFA but LMA, FPVUK, RCHA, etc.
I have posted this just as a heads up on developments Stateside. I don't really expect any responses. In fact I would be almost dismayed if some poor sod here bothered to read the whole thing then proceeded to pick away at it.
Needless to say the FAAs registration scheme has met with some opposition. I have picked out what are probably the bits of even the slightest interest.
FAA Drone Registration
The key point of the regulation rule is :
"Persons owning small unmanned aircraft, whether intended to be used as model aircraft or as other than model aircraft, are required to register those aircraft with the FAA[.]" "This rule applies to all owners of small unmanned aircraft which weigh more than 0.55 pounds and less than 55 pounds on takeoff." It goes into effect Dec 21, 2015. If you do not comply, you could face civil penalties up to $27,500 and criminal penalties of $250,000 and/or imprisonment up to 3 years.
However one brave fellow by the name of Johnathan Rupprecht has issues with this as he considers that it is in violation of Section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 which says:
"IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other provision of law relating to the incorporation of unmanned aircraft systems into Federal Aviation Administration plans and policies, including this subtitle, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration may not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft, or an aircraft being developed as a model aircraft[.]"
The key word here is "any" and the major take away is that it prevents the promulgation of new rules or regulations, not the using of already existing regulations (i.e. Part 47 and § 91.203).The FAA believes that model aircraft operators are now subject to 91.203 which requires the drone to be registered prior to operation in the national airspace.
After reading several pages of legal argument and faced with a section headed "Does any mean any any time?" I had lost the will to live, but the final paragraphs made a great deal of sense in the general area of what happens in the real world and how regulation (and regulators) may or may not be complied with.
Why Am I (Johnathan Rupprecht) Proposing These?
My fear is this rule will "delegitimize" the FAA and DOT in the eyes of many drone flyers because instead of the FAA and DOT being seen as the authority, they will be seen as two government agencies not following what Congress told them to do in the APA and not do in Section 336.
Final Thoughts: (from Johnathan Rupprecht)
How will this get challenged? The group of people primarily being targeted are the model aircraft guys, mostly males ages 16-40, working full time, that are disorganized, and would most likely rather just chance getting caught than comply. There is also the AMA members which tend to be very law abiding but they are the minority. The Section 333 guys are not going to fight but love it because it makes their lives so much easier than the Part 47 process.
The only 2 scenarios I see where someone would step in to challenge this rule would be: (1) a large group like the Academy of Model Aeronautics on behalf of its members or maybe some large organization focused on protecting people's privacy or (2) someone receiving an enforcement action or criminal prosecution and is capitalized well enough to pay an attorney to fight this as opposed to settling for a lower amount than prosecution.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
