Primary sources to consult for United States work

Topic	Primary source	Status in this capture
UAS rules, registration, airspace, Remote ID	FAA UAS portal: https://www.faa.gov/uas	Official source identified; automated browser access was denied on 2026-07-12, so re-check directly in a normal browser before relying on requirements.
Radio spectrum and equipment rules	FCC: https://www.fcc.gov and eCFR Title 47 Part 15: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-15	Official sources identified; automated browser access was blocked or redirected on 2026-07-12. Confirm exact current sub-band/device rules directly.
Product band, power, modes, and failsafes	Manufacturer manual and regional product documentation	Must be evaluated per model, region, and firmware.
Remote ID standards and compliance product claims	Manufacturer compliance material plus FAA guidance	Do not rely on a generic Bluetooth or Wi-Fi claim as proof of compliance.

Fact-check checklist for a specific product

Exact model and regional SKU recorded.
Firmware/app version recorded.
Manufacturer-stated radio bands and antenna configuration cited.
Applicable FAA and FCC guidance checked on the date of use.
Airspace and local site requirements checked.
Remote ID and registration obligations assessed for the planned operation.
No experimental transmission, interception, or third-party aircraft interaction proposed.

Confidence labels

Use confirmed only for a claim tied to an authoritative current source or direct observation of owned equipment. Use likely for a well-supported but unverified inference; needs validation for any model, region, or regulation-dependent claim.
