    40 mile NFZ over Chicago!!

    Question, does turning off GEO allow one to fly in a "NFZ", that would be great for those of us that want to fly around our property at low altitudes that are 5.9 miles from the airport.

    DJi blocking you from flying near an airport

    I agree, 1.5 or even 2.5 miles from the airport is acceptable to me, safety first but 4.9 miles, I am ok with altitude restrictions of maybe 200 feet but come on, at 4.9 miles, if a jetliner is 500 feet from the ground it is having a major problems is going to hit other things first before...

    DJi blocking you from flying near an airport

    Had I known about any of this before "upgrading" the firmware I would not have, because of this I do not recommend the DJI Quads, to many restriction imposed by the company and not in step with consumer desires. I live 4.9 miles from a major airport and cannot fly over my house or around my...

    DJi blocking you from flying near an airport

    Firmware v 1.8.80 released (with notes)

    For what it's worth, I did the update on the P3P, than the controller and all went like normal, I haven't flown the new updates as I live in a NFZ (please fix this DJI), I will be going to my sisters hows this weekend and will do some hovering and testing.

    Firmware v 1.8.80 released (with notes)

    I was really hoping that this update had the NFZ update that would all us to fly by unlocking, I see nothing about that, this sucks for those of us that live 4.95 miles away from an airport.
