Newish FAA Drone Pilot here, all of my flying so far has always been outside controlled air space and no authorization needed.
Before I was an FAA drone pilot I went to go fly the drone, Mavic 2 Pro in a parking lot just to 25 feet to see the top of a one story building, and it would not let me take off. I apparently was in controlled air space. After that I decided to get my FAA Drone Pilot license so I could do that properly if needed.
In two weeks I may have to fly my Mavic 2 Pro indoors, in a roller skating rink.
The Roller skating rink is located in Controlled Airspace.
It doesn't feel like I'd need authorization for this, clearly, but do I need authorization for this?
And if so, how does the Mavic 2 Pro know I have authorization and will allow me to take off in the controlled air space even if I have GPS signal while indoors?
Thanks all.
