Zing Drones Achieves FAA DOC Approval for Innovative Z-RID™ Remote ID Module

Why Compliance Matters

Compliance with regulations set by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is essential for several reasons:

• Safety of National Airspace: Compliance helps prevent potential collisions and hazards, ensuring the safety of the airspace.
• Transparency and Accountability: It allows authorities to trace back to the drone owner in case of incidents, fostering accountability.
• Industry Growth and Acceptance: Compliance encourages responsible drone ownership, promoting the growth and acceptance of the drone industry.

Understanding Declarations of Compliance (DOC)

Declarations of Compliance (DOCs) are documents that verify whether your unmanned aircraft meets the required standards for operations over people or remote ID. They serve as proof of compliance with FAA regulations.

Where to Find Your Aircraft's Declaration of Compliance

1. Access the FAA Website: Visit the official FAA website to access the Declaration of Compliance search tool.
2. Search by Serial Number: Use your aircraft's serial number to search for associated DOCs.
3. Review the Results: The search tool will list the make, model, category, and status of each declaration. Ensure these details match your aircraft.
4. Verify the Date: Check the acceptance date to ensure it aligns with the most recent regulations. If outdated, seek an updated compliance declaration.

Common Aircraft Compliance Categories

Compliance is typically divided into two key categories:

• Part 107 Operations Over People (OOP): Ensures drones are designed to minimize injury risk when operating over people.
• Part 89 Remote ID (RID): Enhances tracking and identification of drones in the national airspace, crucial for safety and accountability.

Zing Drones' Achievement

Zing Drone Solutions has made a significant leap by obtaining FAA DOC approval for their Z-RID™ Remote ID Broadcast Module. This achievement is the result of six months of collaboration between their MIT engineering team and their business development team in Florida.

Features of the Z-RID™ Module

• Compatibility: The Z-RID™ module is compatible with DJI enterprise and commercial aircraft models, including the Mavic 2 Enterprise, Matrice 200, Inspire 2, Phantom 4 Pro, Mavic Pro, and Mavic Air.
• Compact Design: Its compact design allows easy integration into drones, even those as small as the Mavic Mini.

Addressing Compliance Challenges

Understanding the challenges drone pilots face in meeting the initial September 16, 2023, Remote ID compliance deadline, the FAA is allowing flexibility in enforcement decisions. Zing Drone Solutions' Z-RID™ module offers a timely solution for operators seeking to adhere to Remote ID requirements, ensuring compliance and safety.
