Summary: An individual drone owner is seeking clarification on whether placing a registration number inside the windshield of a scale aircraft is acceptable. They argue that this method keeps the number visible without opening a compartment while also protecting it from contamination.
Interim Final Rule on External Drone Marking:
CLARIFICATION: Regarding the external placing of markings on RC drones, can the number be placed inside the windshield of an aircraft so it is clearly and obviously visible through the windshield without openming any compartment?
I have a scale aircraft with the number on the top of the dash panel facing forward in the aircraft, so it can be read, non-distorted, through the windscreen. Is this acceptable, as it meets the requirement of not having to open a "secret" compartment. It also protects the registration number from fuel and dirt contamination.
