Serial Numbers & Labeling

This page outlines the serial numbering and labeling requirements for Standard Remote ID for PRISM Sky.

Serial Numbers

In compliance with ANSI/CTA-2063-A in accordance with § 89.505, the vehicle serial number is using Watts Innovations registered manufacturing code, followed by a single character indicating the length of the serial number, followed by the device serial number itself. PRISM Sky will display the vehicle serial number on a label on its front left arm socket. The label will be in English and legible, prominent, and permanently affixed to both the unmanned aircraft and its packaging.

The serial numbers of the PRISM Sky are as follows:

NOTE: All aircraft shipped prior to February 14th, 2023 are NOT Remote ID enabled and are NOT compliant with Part 89 and cannot be updated with any of our standard remote ID compliant firmware to claim compliance. If your aircraft does not display our custom, permanently affixed label with the full serial number as described below upon delivery, your aircraft is NOT remote ID compliant. If your aircraft was shipped before February 14th, 2023 it is your responsibility to comply with Part 89 through purchasing an FAA approved Remote ID Broadcast Module to retrofit on your aircraft.

Bit position	Content	Meaning
1-4	1785	4 character MFR code
5	C	1 character length code
6-12	00000000xxxx (example)	12 character serial number

An example of a full serial number for PRISM Sky will look like 1785C000000006504. This is the entire serial number you must use when registering you drone via the FAA Drone Zone.

Labeling

In compliance with § 89.525, PRISM Sky will display a label on its front right arm socket that reads “ASTM F3411-22a-RID-B” which will indicate that the aircraft meets the requirements under this part. The label will be in English and legible, prominent, and permanently affixed to both the unmanned aircraft and its packaging.
