I used my secondary email and went smoothly, not sure what happened but I'm guessing having too many pages backgrounded while opening your confirmation email page may have allot to do with it...

Tip: Once you get a confirmation of email and password, delete that page and open the new link from email and register from there.. At least this is where I went wrong, and noticed it would not let me process the transaction... Good Luck hope this helps!

Really appreciated the help, it worked and I'm registered. Happy Holidays and fly safe !
As I was saying earlier there isn't a lot teeth to this registration other then your credit card obtainable information.

As some of you know, it doesn't take much to confuse me and I'm finding this very confusing.
It's my understanding that:

they are not registering drones
they are not registering commercial drones
they are not registering commercial pilots of drones
they are only registering pilots of hobby drones
they are assigning reg. #s to pilots, not drones

Is that pretty much it?

You pretty well hit it in the face. This registration makes no mention of the drone ID (Make, model or serial #)

Supposedly the new regulations will be announced this week:

Has anyone been fined or worse because they are not registered?

That is a good question.

Based on J Rupprecht's article it only shows there were 3 individuals who were charged with 47.3(b) violations.

I was called in by the FAA because of an interview I did about commercial use of drones that appeared in Columbus CEO magazine.

Drone use for Columbus businesses to soar after FAA releases commercial-friendly rules

I received a formal letter saying that enforcement would follow. The guy from the FAA was actually very nice...he let me know that all this .333 pilots license is no longer going to be relevant.

On a somewhat related matter, the FAA has just fined our company $23k for lipo battery transport through the airlines. We have been doing this for years but got burned on this...the batteries were held at the airport by TSA. These are lipo batteries for hi-end broadcast cameras...not for drones...but still, this seems totally excessive.

So I'm going to pursue this 107 thing aggressively.

I wonder how many people here (these types of forums) have not registered yet...I run into 'hordes' of people out in the wild that are not registered, most have no idea that they're supposed to register. Of course, most of those folks could care less.

Agreed. I find remote pilot that don't even know about the 333, 107, or hobby registration.
