Thanks very much, Dusty. My DJI Fly app doesn’t present an option to disable sideways control. I’m guessing that my 2nd generation iPad mini is incapable of installing recent DJI app updates (e.g. I know it can’t update to the most recent version of Safari). Perhaps the firmware update isn’t...

Hi! I'm a relative novice pilot (had my Mavic Air 2 for a couple of years, but only fly it a few times each year). Today I reacquainted myself with the procedures and controls and updated the firmware. I was disappointed to discover that the side-to-side (right control stick left and right in...

Hi. It’s been almost a year since last flew my Mavic Air 2. It initially took quite a bit of time and effort to figure out how to secure an electronic license to fly within the authorization zone in which I live. Lots of notes from YouTube videos. I subsequently learned of the TRUST training...

You're spot on! After securing FAA approval via B4YOUFLY/Aloft for some flight time within my Authorization Zone later this morning, I requested a zone unlock (no documentation upload requirement), and it was immediately accepted. I was able to transfer the license to my MA2. I'm hoping that the...

Thanks very much for the helpful video - the most recent of several I've watched attempting to figure this out. First, let me reiterate that I was able to take my first flight today after first getting FAA approval via the B4YOUFLY/Aloft app and then the DJI Fly app on my phone. I did have to...

Update: I contacted DJI support. They took some information and responded that they'd changed my "certificate" to "circle" and recommended that I log out and back into my DJI account. I closed and reopened my DJI Fly app (I received no prompt to enter my account password) and was then able to...

Hi. I'm still unable to secure authorization to take off using DJI Fly's self-unlock approach (no license). I use my iPhone’s B4YOUFLY app to request LAANC approval through the Aloft companion app. I receive a text message saying “Request Approved, Authorized by FAA, Authorization ### is...

First of all, I want to thank you and the other MP forum members who have attempted to help me understand and distinguish the LAANC authorization and DJI license processes. I’m attempting to fly a Mavic Air 2 using an iPhone 8 as my monitor. You’re correct that I’m using B4YOUFLY/Aloft to...

My understanding is that the FAA's B4YOUFLY app is now in partnership with Aloft to issue authoritative permission to fly. After checking the boxes in DJI's Fly app indicating that I've secured authorization to fly within the local authorization zone and that I've agreed to take responsibility...

Hi. I can't seem to figure out the process between securing LAANC authorization and actually being allowed to take off via DJI's app. I logged into my DJI account. I then used B4YOUFLY to request authorization to fly within my local airport's authorization zone for 2 hours. A second later...

Got it. Thanks very much for differentiating the LAANC and DJI systems and for the other helpful clarifications.

Hi! I’m an absolute beginner (received a Mavic Air 2 for Christmas), and I’m new to this forum. I soon discovered that due to my proximity to a local airport I’m living in an authorization zone. The DJI information I’ve read doesn’t specify with whom I should I should pursue securing...
