Hello,
I am a new and first time drone pilot...for a total of about 60 seconds. I've had major frustration setting up everything, and finally thought I crossed that bridge. I took off, inside my house, for 15 seconds and my Mavic Air landed itself with a warning that I'm in a no fly zone. I have the B4UFly app and there are literally 45 heliports within 5 miles of me (the closest actual airport is 13 miles). I read that I have to let the location know when and for how long I will fly. Seriously, I have to notify 45 heliports about this??? I also read that there is not an easy, straightforward approach to do this. Anyone have any knowledge?? I am in Houston, TX (77006 zip) near several TV stations and the TX Medical Center.
Thanks for your help!
