One more question - Brendan I hope you will be answering - if and when I do get my bird working over by the Planetarium as I want to, it obviously will be not far from the DJI NFZ near Soldiers Field - I'll include a screenshot from DJI's NFZ page - since obviously the actual working circumference is not exact, what happens if we inadvertently fly too close to the NFZ?
Will we get any warning to give us time to move back to a safe area - or will it just Auto land without any control on our part to move it away?
Don't want to end up 1/2 mile away or in the water......
The great view of downtown Chicago is from the area to the right and North of the blue circle that shows the new smaller NFZ for Soldier's Field. According to this map it should be no problem flying from here.
The old NFZ covered that whole peninsula to the edges by the Planetarium on the right. The City is to the North and West of that large green zone --Grant Park.
Sounds like I'm beating a dead horse here - but it affects all of us when near any DJI mandated NFZ. We need to know what will happen if we get too close and think we are safe, but may not be.
Also it's favorite spot of mine and I really want to be able to fly from there. I'm sure many of you have similar spots in your hometowns with a similar issue.
And for all the Drone Nazis out there - I do fly safe. I do take care what is around and under me. I usually like to fly sunrise or sunset, and away from people or property that could be damaged. And if the FAA says its OK for me to fly here when its NOT a game day or near game time, then I have no problem doing it.
YOU don't have to.....
