Pilots call to arms, REMOTE ID, GDPR

Hi @Gusisin

That is a good idea. There are a few issues you should be aware of though.

  1. Remote ID is the law. It has been the law for 4 or 5 years. The implementation date is 2026.

It is not that the law has to be passed or approved/ratified. It is already the law.

(Your post and letter makes several references to ‘proposal/proposed’, ‘any forthcoming legislation’, etc.

That is not accurate. Remote ID is already the law - with the implementation date of 2026).

  1. The recently released document isn’t a proposal. It is the response to a ‘Call for input’, which closed a long time ago. (To which we, and our members who responded, objected to Remote ID).

Here is my thread about that Call For Input. CAA Call For Input

  1. Remote ID has been (successfully?) rolled out in the USA and Europe. (You could argue it was demonstrably useless in the New Jersey mass-hysteria event where people convinced themselves they were seeing drones en masse, which were in fact airliners. The fact that no remote ID was present didn’t help convince them).

All of that said, letters to the ICO seems like a good approach, that could feasibly be effective.

Bulk letters that are all the same, with a different name at the bottom, are no good. They will be treated as one letter.

I wonder if we could make an AI letter generator tool, which takes the person’s name and address, and writes a letter to the ICO, making the same broad points, but in a slightly different way, hundreds or thousands of times?

The letters need to all be different, but making the similiar general points.

All the best

Simon
