Everyone is aware (or should be) of the 400 foot above ground (AGL) rule. All DJI products have an absolute ceiling of 500 meters (1640 feet) above your take off point.
Many pilots do a lot of mountain and canyon flying. It is very easy to get limited flying up the side of a canyon or mountain with the 500m ceiling, while only 100 or 200 feet AGL.
I am also involved with tall building and tower inspections. Occasionally there are towers over 500 meters tall that we cannot inspect. This is very frustrating because this is a loss of $$.
My question to you is are you affected by the 500m ceiling and would an authorization procedure (similar to that already in place by DJI for certain flying zones) be of interest?
