Good Afternoon,
I am trying to obtain permission from a local golf course to provide aerial video services but the issue is they are right next to a Class D airport and the drone is not able to even take off due to the no fly zone restrictions. I own a Phantom 4 but assume it's the same with other drones (non-DJI).
My question is, has anyone successfully gone through the "Individual Unlocking" procedure with DJI to have them override this restriction? I know a certificate of waiver will also be required, but wondering if anyone can tell me how long it takes on DJI's part (I know I may have to wait for a few months on the FAA), and more specifically, if you have to fly manually or if way point navigation is still available with either DJI Go or Litchi.
