Registrierung einer Drohne für USA
Seit einiger Zeit müssen auch Hobby-Drohnen (z.B. DJI Phantom) in USA registriert werden.
Man bezahlt 5$ und bekommt eine Nummer mitgeteilt, die am Flieger befestigt werden muss.
Die Registrierung soll hier durchgeführt werden: http://www.faa.gov/uas/registration/
Das funktioniert allerdings nicht vom Ausland aus!
Ich habe deshalb dort nachgefragt und folgende Antwort erhalten:
Thank you for your inquiry. Take a look at these Frequently Asked Questions that should address your concerns.
Q11. Are non-U.S. citizens visiting the United States on vacation or for drone competitions required to register?
A. Everyone, including foreign nationals and tourists, who operate a UAS for hobby or recreational purposes outdoors in the U.S. must use the FAA's online registration system. These non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent U.S. residents will receive the same registration certificate as U.S. Citizens or permanent U.S. residents. However, this certificate will function as a "recognition of ownership" document. This document is required by the Department of Transportation for foreign nationals to operate legally in the US.
Q63. I am a foreign citizen who would like to operate my sUAS in the United States but I do not have a United States address. For purposes of fulfilling the requirement for aircraft registration, what addresses must I provide for my permanent and mailing addresses?
A. For the next several weeks, a person with a United States address must register the small unmanned aircraft on your behalf and provide their address and payment information. The FAA will assume a bailment agreement exists between you and that person in this instance, as referenced in 14 CFR 48.25. In the coming weeks, the FAA expects to roll out an update to the web-based registration system that will allow a person to enter a foreign address.
In order to use the online registration platform, you must be LOCATED within the U.S. or its territories or possessions.
