How can I update my Fly ID system from my web interface?

Since 1 January 2024, direct remote identification systems have been mandatory in Europe, in accordance with European regulations (EN 4709-002) published by the EASA. However, France also has its own specific regulations. Since 2019, the French aviation authority (DGAC) has required all professional remote pilots with a drone weighing more than 800 grams to be equipped with a remote electronic signalling system (FR).

To make sure you’re flying legally, Dronavia offers remote pilots the chance to update their Fly ID system with both a remote electronic reporting system (FR) and a remote direct identification system (EU). Find out here how to update your Fly ID system from its web interface.
