    Question on recently approved authorization

    Yes, the limits are what is shown in the boxes. I have a similar authorization for the Luke airspace here around Phoenix.

    Any way to change settings in Fly so they default to what I want?

    Public vs Private Roads & Property

    Your county assessor's website usually has a GIS section where you can see all of the land parcels and determine ownership. Here in Maricopa County (Phoenix) it's a very easy site to navigate and similar to the screenshot posted by sar104 in post #48

    AirMap Vs B4UFly Vs Kittyhawk

    5 miles from an airport means nothing anymore. You are in Class D airspace which requires authorization to fly and based on you screenshot, the allowable altitude is 200’ AGL once approved. You must use a LAANC enabled app like Kitty Hawk or AirMap to apply for the authorization. Plenty of...

    DJI Fly app displays incorrect home address

    I believe the address displayed is based on the GPS location of your phone connected to the controller. When I go into my backyard, the address shows the street behind me. When I fly in front of my house, my street address is shown.
