Abstract: The information collected as part of the small unmanned aircraft registration system will identify to the FAA those persons owning small unmanned aircraft, whether the intended use is recreational, or as other than recreational. All persons who wish to operate a small unmanned aircraft outdoors are required to register, , except those that weigh 0.55 pounds or less (less than 250 grams) and are flown exclusively under the exception for limited recreational operations. This information is collected as needed and is for reporting purposes. Only demographic information is released quarterly in the FOIA library. Other information may be disclosed upon request with any individual PII redacted. Registration allows the FAA to provide respondents with educational materials regarding safety of flight in the NAS to promote greater accountability and responsibility of these new users.
