UNITED STATES
News & Regulatory Updates
Remote identification of
unmanned aircraft
The Federal Aviation Administration announced the acceptance
of ASTM International F3586-22, with additions
identified in the federal register notice as an acceptable
means of demonstrating compliance with the requirements
for producing standard remote identification unmanned
aircraft and remote identification broadcast modules.
Means of compliance
accepted in this policy
The FAA has reviewed and accepts ASTM F3586-22
as a means of compliance to the requirements of Part 89,
subpart D with additions. The FAA has determined additions
to be necessary because Section 7.5.2 of ASTM
F3586-22, requiring specific items to be masked from
user input, does not adequately ensure compliance with
the tamper resistance requirement of Sections 89.310
and 89.320. The FAA-accepted MOC provided in this
policy therefore is comprised of ASTM F3586-22 with
the following additions:
1. The remote identification system shall protect the
Part 89-required broadcasted message from being
altered or disabled by any person.
2. The remote identification system shall incorporate
techniques or methods that reduce the

ability of any person to physically and functionally
modify or disable any aspect or component of the
remote identification system that could impact
compliance with the remote identification rule.
3. In applying Section 7.5.2 of ASTM F3586-22,
the applicant shall determine whether masking
the specified items from user input adequately
provides the functional tamper resistance protection
specified by this means of compliance, and if
it does not, shall incorporate additional functional
tamper resistance techniques or methods in accordance
with this means of compliance.
