I update the Fly geozone database. They changed the colors. Red is now orange. Blue is now orange. Orange or brown, I forgot which, is now yellow. Good for me because I'm a mile from an airport that blocked me going west. Of course, I'd have to be real careful crossing the runway. Not a busy airport fortunately.
 
"I'd have to be real careful crossing the runway"

Why would you fly anywhere near a runway of even a small airport? At least it will let you takeoff, then fly away from the airport. Anything else is just irresponsible.
Why not? It's probably safer going over the runway than the approaches to the runway. Over the runway they're closer to ground level.
At LAX there's a corridor between 2,500 feet and 5,000 feet where small planes can fly right over the runways. I did it.
Also, the Mavic 3 pro warns you if their are aircraft with that signal they send out. I've gotten that signal before at this airport. It's an international airport. There's a small airport right next to it.
 
Because it's a dumb thing to be doing.

You probably don't realise that many aircraft don't have ADSB-out and your app won't be warning you about them.
And the planes that don't have ADSB are mostly smaller planes which are the ones most likely to be at lower altitudes where they are more likely to be sharing airspace with you.
Stay away from airports and don't fly over runways.
There are lots of places you can fly without doing that.
