Fly ID – Light
Direct Remote Identification System
Presentation
Fly ID is a direct remote identification device compatible with all drones, designed to help operators fly safely and in full compliance with the latest European regulations. By making your drone visible to authorities and nearby airspace users, Fly ID offers a simple and reliable solution for compliant operations.
Fly ID Light is designed to be integrated directly inside the drone and must be powered by a voltage source between 4.2 V and 8.4 V. With an ultra-light weight of only 9 g, it can be easily installed on very small aircraft without impacting performance. The device is supplied with a 3-pin JST JR solder connector for straightforward integration.
Fly ID Updating
In France, Class C1, C2, and C3 drones over 800 g must broadcast both EU Direct Remote Identification and the French Remote Electronic Signal. To meet this requirement, Dronavia offers a remote update for Fly ID systems, ensuring full compliance. More information is available in the “Resources” section.
Compliance
EUROPEAN COMPLIANCE
EASA EN 4709-002
Fly ID systems comply with the EN 4709-002 standard, the European harmonized standard defining Direct Remote Identification (DRI) requirements. This standard supports compliance with EU Regulation 2019/945, which mandates direct remote identification for drones weighing more than 250 grams operating in the open or specific category, in accordance with EU Regulation 2019/947.
More details
Instant Drone Visibility
The Fly ID Light system broadcasts your drone’s identification and flight data via Wi-Fi Beacon and Bluetooth 2.4 GHz to any compatible receiving device.
The information transmitted includes the drone serial number, takeoff location, current latitude and longitude, altitude, speed, and direction of travel. Beyond improving airspace awareness and safety, Fly ID also provides an effective means of locating a drone in the event of a lost link or crash.
Ultra-Compact & Lightweight Design
With a weight of just 11 grams and compact dimensions of 35 × 21 × 13 mm, the system can be easily installed on even the smallest drones, without impacting performance or flight characteristics. With an average power consumption of just 40 mA, the system has negligible impact on the drone’s autonomy, ensuring flight time remains virtually unchanged.
Wide Compatibility and Easy Integration
The system is supplied with a 3-pin JST JR solder connector, compatible with most standard receivers, including FUTABA, GRAUPNER, and others. A heat-shrink tube is also included to ensure secure and reliable installation.
Standards for multiple geolocation
For precise and reliable positioning, Fly ID supports multiple GNSS constellations, including GPS, Galileo, SBAS, and GLONASS. This multi-system reception ensures accurate, up-to-date location data, even in challenging environments.
Simple and Secure Configuration Interface
The Fly ID Light system features a web-based interface accessible from any device via a Wi-Fi connection, enabling quick and intuitive configuration. For security and operational reliability, the interface is only available during system initialization, indicated by a flashing yellow LED, and is automatically disabled 30 seconds after GPS acquisition, when the LED turns green.
This interface allows operators to enter their operator number and update the system, ensuring correct configuration and continued compliance with applicable regulations.
Works with Your Favorite Drone Tracking Apps
Fly ID are fully compatible with drone tracking applications such as DroneScanner and OpenDroneID. Once connected, these applications allow you to view broadcast identification data and monitor nearby airspace activity in real time.
This compatibility makes it easy to manage and organize your flights, improving situational awareness and contributing to safer and more compliant drone operations.

What is a Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system?
A Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system allows a drone to broadcast essential flight and identification information digitally via Bluetooth (2.4 GHz) to nearby receivers, such as smartphones or dedicated devices.
The information transmitted typically includes the drone’s serial number, take-off location, current latitude and longitude, altitude, speed, and direction of travel.
By improving airspace awareness and traceability, DRI contributes to safer drone operations and more effective flight mission management. It also provides a valuable means of locating a drone in the event of a lost link between the aircraft and the operator.
Why equip your drone with a Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system?
A Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system is intended for drones that are not equipped with remote identification by default, as well as for drone manufacturers wishing to integrate this functionality directly into their aircraft.
By equipping a drone with a DRI system, operators can ensure compliance with the latest EASA regulations, allowing their drones to operate legally within the European regulatory framework. In addition to regulatory compliance, DRI improves traceability and airspace safety, contributing to more secure and responsible drone operations.
How can I connect to the Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system interface?
You can connect to the Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system interface directly from a smartphone or tablet using a Bluetooth connection.
Once Bluetooth is enabled on your device, simply connect to the DRI system via the dedicated interface or compatible application, which allows you to view, configure, and verify the broadcast identification information. No additional equipment is required.
This quick and intuitive access ensures that operators can easily check system status and compliance before and during operations.
How do I link my Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system to my operator number?
Log in to the Fly ID web interface of your Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system.
Go to “Settings”, then enter the aircraft type and your operator number.
Once this information is saved, your DRI system is correctly linked to your operator number and ready for compliant operation.
What regulations do Dronavia's Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems comply with ?
Dronavia’s Fly ID Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems comply with the EN 4709-002 standard, which defines the requirements for direct remote identification of drones weighing more than 250 grams and operating below 120 meters in the specific category, in accordance with European regulations.
In addition, the Beacon AM remote identification device enables drones to comply with the French DGAC decree of December 27, 2019, which mandates electronic identification for certain professional drone operations in France.
These compliant solutions ensure that operators meet both European and national regulatory requirements, while improving traceability, airspace safety, and operational control.
For which drones should a Direct Remote Identification systems be used?
A Direct Remote Identification (DRI) system is mandatory for all drones weighing more than 250 grams that are not equipped with remote identification as a standard feature.
This requirement ensures compliance with current European regulations and allows affected drones to operate legally within the applicable regulatory framework.
Why do Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems have a web interface?
Fly ID Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems include a web-based interface accessible via WiFi to allow operators to configure and manage the system easily.
This interface is used to enter and update the operator number, configure aircraft information, and perform system updates when required. It ensures that the DRI system remains correctly configured, up to date, and fully compliant with applicable regulations.
Are Fly ID direct remote identification (DRI) systems visible on drone tracking applications?
Yes. All Fly ID Direct Remote Identification (DRI) systems are compatible with drone tracking applications, such as DroneScanner and OpenDroneID.
Simply open a compatible application and power on your Fly ID system. The drone will then appear automatically in the app, allowing you to view all broadcast flight information. These applications also help operators monitor nearby airspace activity and better organize their flight operations by providing real-time visibility of surrounding drone traffic.
