It just flew away! - <correction> it didn't fly away at all.

Odd that DJI has no geofencing data for this airport. There are some state parks in the area that are clearly defined on the map, but nothing around the airport.

According to the DJI geo-map there is a restricted zone around the airport, then an authorization zone, and then a much larger warning zone. The marina location is in the warning zone.

It varies with conditions and traffic. But KFPR has a 1023' MSL right pattern and the marina is 6 km from the threshold of 32 so, with a nominal 3° glideslope, aircraft could be entering the glide from the pattern at almost exactly 6 km, 1000 ft above the marina.

32 is a left pattern. AirNav: KFPR - Treasure Coast International Airport

Weird, I'm looking at the no fly section of the go app and it shows nothing at all.

Is there another map I don't know about? Link pls

Good spot on the traffic pattern - I was looking at 14.

Nope still got nothing. Good thing I'm a few thousand miles away. LOL

Plus posting it here for all to see including the FAA. Only needs to be unlucky once.

Caught me doing a quick edit. What are the odds?

I feel the pain, it happens to me all to often.

According to the sectional chart the marina is just inside the dotted blue line of the class D airport.

Actually Treasure Coast Airport (within the dotted blue line is Class B Airspace from Ground Level to 2,500" AGL a no,no to fly in at any time)



You may find this useful when it comes to determining airport classifications, it's what all manned aircraft use.

Thanks. just another quick question: would the FAA use KM for measurements? All the test preperation questions seem to show distance in SM.

FAA refers to all distances as SM ( Statute Miles only ), AGL ( Above Ground Level ), MSL ( Mean Sea Level )

Hey! I like it. Maybe there should be an official FAA abbreviation for "no, no to fly." NNTF might be easier for "experienced pilots" to understand. That and of course RTFM!

I don't see it. Florida has 3 class B airports, Orlando, Tampa, and Miami. Treasure coast isn't even inside the mode C veil of any of these. Is there something I'm not taking into consideration?

Definitely not! LOL I haven't been active since '91.

Sounds fantastic, I wish I was in the USA! Anybody have any recommendations for the UK?

A suggestion

Drone Insurance - Phantom Flight School

I have no experience with them - yet - but if they are endorsed by the BMFA then I wouldn't worry

Probably a typo or something, maybe confusing solid blue with dashed blue. Definitely not class B.

That's what I thought. I know there's a very short list of Class B airports on the continent and they're all major internationals.
