If a drone lacks a Remote ID broadcast module, where may it fly recreationally?

• A. In a FRIA
• B. In any park
• C. In controlled airspace with authorization
• D. Only indoors

Answer: (A)

When a drone has no Remote ID broadcast capability, outdoor flight is limited to FAA-recognized areas that allow non-Remote ID operations. A FRIA, or FAA-Recognized Identification Area, is designated specifically for this purpose, letting recreational pilots operate outdoors legally in that area. Outside of a FRIA, outdoor flights generally require Remote ID, and controlled-airspace operations typically need authorization plus Remote ID. Indoor flying is also permissible, but for outdoor recreational use, the correct option is a FRIA.
