Eight hundred and one N registered RPAS in the USA

As I type this there will probably have been more added. Quite amazing is that of those 801 airframes 600 are rotary, mostly multirotors. A three to one ratio against their fixed wing cousins.

DJI still dominates the manufacturer numbers normally having at least 42% of the market.

I update our 333 page (see the menu above) at least twice a week and at the moment there is no sign of momentum slowing. Those refusing to come to the party until the small rule NPRM is in place are going to face quite an uphill battle. Operators with a 333 exemption are going to have at least 12 months head start.

There were many folks that said N numbers would not happen for the small stuff, Patrick found this one back in 2011
