What is FRIA?
A FRIA is a defined geographic area where drones or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) can be flown without Remote ID equipment. Both the drone and the pilot must be located within the FRIA’s boundaries throughout the operation. In addition, the pilot of the drone must be able to see it at all times throughout the duration of the flight.
Note: If a drone is equipped with Standard Remote ID, it may not be disabled or shut off while flying in a FRIA.
All aircraft over .55 lbs or 250 grams must have a FAA registration number attached to the frame, even if within the FRIA boundary.

Aircraft without a RFID receiver must fly within a FRIA boundary.
The Angelo RC FRIA boundary is the State Park to the North and West, Mercedes Rd to the East and Arden Rd to the South.
