FAA Now Requires Identification Number Be Visible on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Until recently, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorized users of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to place identification numbers in enclosed compartments located on the aircraft (for instance, in the battery compartment). A new rule, 14 CFR Section 48.205(c), issued by the FAA now requires this number to be placed on the aircraft exterior.
