FAA Registration
As of December 21, 2015, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has mandated that
all Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) of a certain weight must be registered with the FAA
before flying outdoors. This includes aircraft commonly referred to as drones, quadcopters,
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and the like.
Which UAS Must Be Registered?
The Online Registration requirement applies to all UAS that weigh between 0.55 lbs. (250g)
and 55 lbs. (25kg).
The Sky Rider Condor Pro meets this requirement, and must be registered, with the
Registration Number permanently affixed to the craft.
Who Can Register?
• Anyone 13 years of age or older. A person who does not meet this age requirement
must have their UAS registered by someone 13 years of age
or older.
• A US citizen or legal permanent resident.
What Do You Need to Register?
When registering online, you will need:
• A valid email address
• A Credit or Debit Card
• A physical and mailing address (if different from physical address).
