Confusing dji article
- Thread starter Dazzauk
- Start date
The reasons outlined are pretty obvious but if you can't see them then OK I guess. Moot anyway as DJI has said that the concept is only a white paper at this point and isn't being implemented with the upcoming change.
Yes - I'm sure you can come up with all kinds of hypothetical scenarios where the rules are accidentally broken. But that's not how ADS-B works - the FAA doesn't record all aircraft movements and sift through them looking for minor infractions, or use an automated system to send out tickets, and so why would they here, even if they had the manpower.
You still own your aircraft, even if it is fitted with ADS-B.
The problem, currently, would be detecting the othe aircraft. Even if the drone had ADS-B in, not all aircraft have ADS-B transponders.
I can see all kinds of reasons, including those listed, where people might want to remain anonymous and undetected. However, when flying around in public airspace I'm afraid I don't think that's a reasonable expectation - about as reasonable as objecting to putting a license plate on your vehicle.
I asked dji support outright to clarify everything everyone is asking. As you can imagine I did not get a straight answer but I did revive this.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting DJI Technical support.
To address your concern, the update is not really restricting users from flying but rather, It is for the upcoming update for the DJI Go app 4.
All customers will need to log into their DJI GO accounts again to complete the application activation process, or else aircraft performance will be limited. To ensure you can use the new DJI GO 4 and DJI GO apps, make sure you stay connected to the Internet after updating and complete the login process.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact DJI Europe Support, Mon-Fri 8:30AM - 5:00PM (UTC+1) via

Understand that a fair amount of "information" in this thread is panicked conjecture written by people who literally have no idea what they are talking about. People have a tendency to be sheep.
You can disable auto-updates for Go in the Play store on your device (easily Googled).

So I guess they are saying that we aren't currently using the correct geospatial information and flight functions now.
I hope this doesn't turn into the wrong homepoint "crisis" from earlier in the year - which never happened according to DJI. Or the Here maps "debacle" earlier this year.
Of course I trust DJI to think of their customers first and only do right by them.
(That last statement was sarcasm in case anyone missed it)

I love the fact a Chinese manufacturer gets to tell me after I purchased a product made by them .
What I can or cannot do , and then removes those features I bought it for if I don't play the way they want me to do .
W.t.f. ,
That should be down to me ,and I am accountable for it .
And the individual country I'm in to impose those rules .
If my Yamaha r1 tomorrow turned into a moped it would be parked ,hacked ,then I'd speed just to piss them off !
How dare they tell me after I purchased it what I can or cannot do .
Bwig Bwuvva no thank you .
If it was so before I purchased it then I can decide to buy or not . Now I don't have a choice , don't like people restricting my freedoms ,that's why my ancestors went to war . and I served .
not to have some Commy Countries manufacturer play with my rights.
