Never looked at it that way, I guess all areas are marked and you have to look at the area details to see if the restriction applies to your flight. It seems the DJI app would not give you the warning since the altitude is considerably higher than the legal flight limits. Thank you for the info.

Why when in R-4006 controlled airspace in Heathsville, VA with a restriction of 3500’ and up do many apps I look at show it as a no fly zone?

What is my best course of action if my iPad shows disconnected but my controller appears to be connected? I had a disconnect a few times, once when I was high (350') and far (1500') that gave me a scare. I did a quick look around and couldn't readily see it so I opted to fly back by the hand...

Why on startup do I sometimes get version conflict? I got this and flew without updating it, when I got home I checked all the versions and everything showed up do date. A few days later I got a version conflict again. I have a Mavic Zoom running DJI go and an iPad mini.

I attempted to do a rotation from the controller while videoing but on the controller it looked like it would freeze periodically, The video looks better but still looks jumpy, I am confident I was steady on the stick. Can anyone suggest what was up? The world's biggest drone photo and video...

Over Occoquan VA

Has anyone ever talked to a lawyer about the applicability of United States v. Causby? In this case a farmer brought a suit against the government over low-flying military planes' taking off and landing from a nearby airport. The planes, he said, forced him out of the chicken business -- and he...

Is the temporary Airman Cert valid if the Certificate number just says Pending? It also has a date of issuance but the Expiration date is blank.

Today I received a reply from Skyward saying they are aware of the problem in their software and are working to fix it, that is the red circle incorrectly showing at 60 miles instead of 15 miles as it should be.

I guess there-in lies the issue, in Skyward the red zone extends what looks like 60 miles and does not allow a request to be entered, I assume because it is in the red zone. Your link says at 15 miles you can fly under certain rules. Maybe the issue is with the Skyward app. I just checked...

So if I want to fly recreationally in a red zone, say at 100 AGL 25 miles outside DC is a rural area (but inside red), what authorization do I need, can I use the LAANC or what is the process?

Why when i take a picture on my Mavic 2 zoom (12 mega pixel) does the picture come out around 5 MP?

Thank you, this was very helpful.

I will, thank you

Where could I find their "guidelines"?
