No Fly Zone

Julian Perry

I was all ready to go today but now the app won't let me take off as I'm a few miles from a small airport (Lands End in Cornwall) and it flags up as an NFZ. For over two years I have flown the Mini with the Go Fly app after unlocking the zone with DJI so doesn't this app also have access to that information?? I can't believe I have spent all this time and money with Dronelink to be told I cant fly at my own home let alone surrounding areas.

What else do I need to do?

Also, the calibrate buttons don't operate although this may be linked to the 'unable to fly' status. See grabs -

    You have to do the unlock in DJI’s app first, as with the calibration.

    Yes, it didn't take for some reason but was ok at the 2nd attempt. Am I right in thinking that you can't calibrate the compass or format the card etc in DL despite the appearance of buttons to do so? They all need to be done in the DJI app.

    One last thing; I had read somewhere that if you move the joysticks during a flight then the mission will be temporarily suspended but that didn't happen - I had to press the pause button, if that's the case then one might need fast reactions :)

    Unfortunately, that is correct. These UIs are part of the DJI UX SDK, which has been abandoned and we are having to rewrite it.

    That is inaccurate. These are the ways to take control (during a virtual stick mission).

    Thanks that's helpful. The RTH button would be the most convenient and fastest if needed.

    Julian,

    FYI The unlock is save in the drone in ram. Each time you cycle power you need to unlock again.
