Voler aux États-Unis

Le MAAC nous recommande désormais de nous enregistrer auprès du FAA pour voler aux États-Unis. Mais cela ne se fait pas sans difficultés…

Je me suis renseigné auprès de la FAA et pour l’instant (au 16 mars), on ne peut pas le faire à partir du Canada, les adresses IP étrangères étant bloquées. De plus, il faut faire notre paiement avec une carte américaine. Je me suis renseigné auprès de la FAA : ce sera ainsi pour quelques semaines encore (voir leur réponse ci-bas). Pour l’instant ils recommandent de demander à un ami de faire la demande et le paiement pour nous. Celui-ci sera cautionnaire pour vous.

Q.

I heard from the canadian MAAC (Model aeronautics association of Canada) that FAA registration might be required for canadians that will attend RC sailplane competitions in the US this year.

I tried to connect to your https://registermyuas.faa.gov/ but get an error stating that it is blocked from my country.

Do I have to register? If so, how?

Thank you for your inquiry. Everyone, including foreign nationals and tourists, who operate a UAS for hobby or recreational purposes outdoors in the U.S. must use the FAA’s online registration system. These non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent U.S. residents will receive the same registration certificate as U.S. Citizens or permanent U.S. residents. However, this certificate will function as a « recognition of ownership » document. This document is required by the Department of Transportation for these foreign nationals to operate legally in the US.

In order to use the online registration platform, you must be located within the U.S. or its territories or possessions.

At this time, the registration system cannot accept foreign addresses, although it is expected to in the future. For the next several weeks, a person with a United States address must register the small unmanned aircraft on your behalf and provide their address and payment information. The FAA will assume a bailment agreement exists between you and that person in this instance, as referenced in 14 CFR 48.25.
