I am in Florida. Went looking for some scenery, drove up to Crystal River. Going to the Plantation, an old colonial resort. Beautiful landscape. I ask could I drone the area, they said sure. I went out back on the inland waters. Got all set up and got a NO FLY . I couldn't do anything with it, it remained. I was about one mile from a G class airport. I have flown within airports area before. I have class D where I live. When I start up I get a nofly but has a blank that I check stating I have premission, away I go. By the way I always call the airport requesting premission, never turned down. I think the last change DJI made they added this feature. Any body having trouble flying around airports.
 
I'm at 4.8 miles from an airport. I don't fly within it.

However, with the new firmware in the RC and P4 I get a new red message that is delayed on startup saying "Your Return To Home flight enters a NFZ" or something like that. This is new to me as I never saw it before this update. Don't know if it is disabled now even at my house but it may be.

Personally, I'm more in favor of the 3.5 mile boundary in some foreign countries than the huge 5 mile USA one which puts almost every city within 5 miles of a local airport.
