    New firmware update V01.01.1600 US Remote ID (27-Sep-2023)

    Updated mine today. Very easy. Don’t forget to go to FAA Drone Zone and update your aircraft Remote ID number there.

    Long-term authorization zone unlock

    I fly often in an authorization zone near an airport in coastal North Carolina. It's not restricted by the FAA, but it requires DJI authorization, and it's a bit of a hassle to have to unlock this zone for every three-day period I want to fly, so today I tried a new method, which seemed to...

    DJI unlock now works on iPhone

    Yes, computer or tablet is better, but in a pinch it can be done.

    DJI unlock now works on iPhone

    I don't know if it's been discussed here, but there have been significant changes to the DJI Unlock website, and yesterday I unlocked a zone on my iPhone. Previously, it would say unlock in unavailable on mobile devices (even though it worked on my iPad). This is a significant improvement for...

    "LAANC is not available for operations outside of controlled airspace"

    That was what I asked for on Friday. Took just a few days, but I got total approval.

    I’ve applied on Drone Zone. It’s under review.

    "LAANC is not available for operations outside of controlled airspace"

    Seems like the reply is a bit misleading then. It implies the area is “outside of controlled airspace” when, in fact, it is in airspace controlled by the DOD. Does not the 42/14 come into play?

    "LAANC is not available for operations outside of controlled airspace"

    I went to fly in an area pretty near a US Army airfield. The sectional map and Aloft app indicate it's in the 42/14 area of Class D controlled airspace. It required a DJI unlock, which I got, but Aloft gave me the message above when I tried to obtain LAANC authorization. I assume I'm OK to...

    Waypoints on MA2

    Still just a one-time fee, though. I paid for Dronelink over a year ago and never use it since getting Maven. Maven is so much easier to use. It's just more intuitive. I carry my iPad in the field and construct missions on the iPad and then import them to my iPhone. I can make changes in...

    Setting waypoints for Mavic Air 2

    Third-party apps. Maven, Litchi and Dronelink. I use Maven.
