SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 89 establishes
remote identification (RID) requirements for unmanned aircraft operated
in the airspace of the United States. With a few exceptions, unmanned
aircraft produced for operation in the airspace of the United States
are subject to the production requirements of part 89. A person
producing a standard RID unmanned aircraft or RID broadcast module for
operation in the United States must show that the unmanned aircraft or
broadcast module complies with the RID performance requirements of
subpart D of part 89 by following a FAA-accepted means of compliance
(MOC).
A DOC is the method by which a producer declares that a standard
RID unmanned aircraft or RID broadcast module has been designed and
produced to meet the applicable minimum performance requirements of
subpart D of part 89 by using an FAA-accepted MOC.
The FAA relies on the DOC to ensure the standard RID unmanned
aircraft or RID broadcast module identified on the DOC is designed and
produced in accordance with an FAA-accepted MOC and complies with the
applicable RID requirements of part 89.
On January 19, 2023, the FAA evaluated and accepted a DOC
application with the assigned tracking number of RID000000111 appearing
to be from DJI for the Mavic Pro Platinum unmanned aircraft. On
February 16, 2023, the FAA received communication from DJI stating that
the group of products listed in the DOC application with the assigned
tracking number RID000000111 were, in fact, not compliant with the
performance requirements of part 89. Therefore, DJI requested a
rescission of the FAA-accepted DOC with tracking number RID000000111.
DJI's subsequent internal review of the incident determined that the
employee listed as the contact on the DOC application no longer had RID
certification responsibilities at the time the DOC was submitted, and
their employee stated he did not submit the RID000000111 DOC. The FAA
is continuing to investigate.
Basis for Rescission
In accordance with Sec. 89.540(a)(1)(i), the Administrator may
rescind a DOC under the circumstance that a standard remote
identification unmanned aircraft or remote identification broadcast
module listed under an FAA-accepted DOC does not meet the minimum
performance requirements of Sec. Sec. 89.310 or 89.320. In accordance
with Sec. 89.540(a)(1)(ii), the Administrator may also rescind
acceptance of a DOC when
[[Page 44438]]
a previously FAA-accepted DOC does not meet a requirement of this
subpart.
The basis for rescission of the DOC with tracking number
RID000000111 is as follows:
(1) DJI statement to the FAA that the group of products listed on
DOC tracking number RID000000111 is not compliant with part 89 RID
performance requirements.
(2) Statement from the DJI employee, whose name was listed as point
of contact on the DOC submission, stating he had not made the DOC
submission.
(3) DJI's request for rescission of the DOC with tracking number
RID000000111.
Rescission
Pursuant to Sec. Sec. 89.540(a)(1)(i) and 89.540(a)(1)(ii) and for
the reasons stated herein, the FAA rescinds the DOC tracking number
RID000000111 for the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum unmanned aircraft.
