I had pre-checked the area I wanted to fly and when I tried to take off the Go app reported this was a restricted area. I was not in an area where I could re-check Airmap etc do to no internet or phone service so I packed up and went back to the hotel. When I checked again back at the hotel the area and for miles around it is was perfectly OK to fly. The location was
38 56' 19.27" N, 110 00' 29.29" W
So, this area is east by more than 10 miles of a small airport and north by a couple miles of a Restricted Special Use Airspace (R6414). Again, I checked the area with Airmap and B4UFLY and neither had a problem with my location. My intent was to video the arrival of the Amtrak Zephyr just before sunset with the mesa formations to the north as a background -- as it turns out the weather went south before the train arrived so I missed out anyway.
Anyone else have this happen and what can I do about it?
