I have a custom unlock to fly in my neighborhood, which DJI has rendered a NFZ because of its proximity to an airport.

In two instances, when I go to uncontrolled airspace, my Mavic Air thinks it is in a NFZ until I turn off the custom unlock. Has this happened to anybody else?
 
That is how it's (poorly) designed to work. When an unlock is enabled it "reverses" the NFZ logic, so that this zone is allowed and the entire rest of the world is locked. Gotta enable/disable everytime you go in/out of the zone... and as a result you can't do that in flight, so you want to request zones that are large enough not to have to cross a boundary.
 
Hi how do you turn off the custom unlock?
Here are the steps as I promised you, @empireum.
  1. Initialize everything as though you were about to take off.
  2. Upon reaching the FPV screen, tap on the "..." on the upper-right corner.
  3. In "General Settings," select "Unlocking License."
  4. Tap on "Aircraft."
  5. Turn on/off the unlocking license as you see fit.
