UAS operator code: mandatory identification
The operator code is your identifier as a registered UAS operator. It is stuck on the drone so it can be read on the ground — similar to an operational registration mark.
Key information
- Obtained after registering as an operator with AACR.
- The same code can cover multiple drones of the same operator.
- Must be visible, durable, without affecting safety.
- It does not replace electronic Remote ID where required.
- Missing code when mandatory is non-compliance.
What this means for you
If you are a registered operator, treat the marking as a take-off condition — like a charged battery.
How to mark correctly
- Get the code from your AACR account.
- Print/stick a readable label on the drone body.
- Ensure it stays visible after battery/prop mounting.
- Update the label if you change airframe or fleet drone.
- Keep registration proof handy in the field.
