That's not true. Hobbyist registration is for the operator only and is in no way ties to a craft. Maybe paper registration for commercial entities has this extra info but not the hobbyist registrar. Source: I've already registered and the information you state they require is not required.
Ahhh.... I see. I was going off of mine (333)... So I had read that they ARE going to tie your reg# to serial#... did you not give any aircraft info on the app?
If thats the case, then this is just a train wreck in the making... then yeah, it IS entirely possible that someone could steal your reg# and do disastrous things with it... bizzar..
Yeah. The rollout was so rushed that I don't think they had sufficient time to identify all of the possible flaws with the system. The public wasn't even fully aware exactly what info would be required to register until yesterday and since the FAA opted out of the public comment period, there was no chance for any of us to voice privacy concerns. This is going to backfire on the FAA for sure.
After numerous attempts to register and failure (e-mail and pass word invalid) I'm holding off and waiting for a fix and better security with my personal information over the internet. When you go on the internet looking for the registration site you'll see more then a dozen sites wanting your business to register your drone for a fee and capturing your personal information. One site is asking for a $29.00 for a $5.00 process. The scams have come out of the closet. When the FAA comes out with a secure identifiable registration site I'll consider it again.
Well I'm glad to see I'm not the only one having this sign on problem. I have reached out to the FAA helpdesk and am waiting to see what their response is going to be to this dilemma. As soon as I hear something I'll get back to you and let you know what the responses is.
