Remote ID Status
Users can see the status of the system’s Remote ID system at any time via the chosen flight application. The status is designated by an indication icon at the top of the screen.
NOTE: As of June 26th, 2023, PRISM Lite satisfies Remote ID compliance with the latest versions of both QGroundControl and Mission Planner.
The Remote ID system must be fully operational in order for the aircraft to arm. If the Remote ID system is not working properly, the aircraft will not arm.
The Remote ID System (RIDS) designed in PRISM Lite will automatically initiate a Pre-Flight Self-Test (PFST) upon powering on to inform the operator that the RIDS is functioning and configured properly. The PFST unique indicator and results that inform the operator the transmitter radio hardware and software is functioning and configured properly is explained in greater detail below.
REMOTE ID STATUS INDICATOR EXPLANATION
GCS GPS INDICATORS
Red: Denotes a lost connection to GPS.
Orange: Represents a connected status without a fix.
Yellow: Indicates a fix but no Differential GPS (DGPS) is present.
Green: Signifies a fix with DGPS.
RID COMMUNICATIONS STATUS
Green: Represents a healthy, uninterrupted connection.
Red: Signifies a timeout, typically occurring after 5 seconds of lost connection.
ARM STATUS INDICATORS
Green: Indicates that the system is armed and operational.
Red: Suggests that the system is not armed. The specific reason will be detailed in the "RID Armed Status Reason" in the status tab.
UAS ID STATUS
Red: Signifies that the UAS ID tab is not fully populated. This data is supplied by the RID module when using a Standard ID and cannot be changed by the end user.
Green: UAS ID is populated
The Remote ID System (RIDS) for PRISM Lite allows the user to be able to continuously monitor the remote identification functionality from takeoff to shutdown through the Remote ID Status Box or ID icon used in the Preflight Self-Test which is permanently displaying the status of the RIDS. The description of the failure or malfunction to the person manipulating the flight controls is always provided in the status box in the Flight Application.
The Remote ID status indicators in the Flight Application monitors and also communicates visually and audibly whether or not there is a malfunction or failure with the RID-required data source and transmitter radio hardware and software. This documented indicator provides immediate notification to the person manipulating the controls giving the operator enough awareness to comply with the rules to return safely and land immediately in the event the RIDS fails and cannot recover.
The RIDS designed and produced with PRISM Lite allows the user to always monitor the functionality of the RIDS no matter what page they are on in the Flight Application when the GCS is connected to the aircraft.
If either of the RIDS components are not functioning properly, arming will be rejected notifying the user via the Remote ID Status Box or ID icon in the Flight Application and a warning message will be displayed.
A status indicator is located in the left middle side of the Remote ID panel of Mission Planner. The status will indicate RED if any conditions for proper operation are not valid. Similarly, in QGroundControl the ID icon is located in the top side of the Fly view. The ID icon will indicate RED if any conditions of proper operation are not valid.
Additional information is always provided in the logged messages available in the flight applications. The functionality, possibly software installation and usage instructions for the monitoring system will be provided together with the RID system.
