Hey all,
Tried navigating my way through a LAANC authorized flight this morning, without success. Generally I'm quite lucky to live in such a "rural" area so getting LAANC approval is more of a novelty than a necessity.
Anyways, was using Kittyhawk. Had a couple little stumbles from the get-go but eventually got to the point where I was approved and within the allotted time slot, went to fly the drone within the Kittyhawk app and was met with a red warning in the upper left corner "Cannot take off". This is the same error I'd get within the DJI Go 4 app as I was within controlled airspace. Just don't get why it wouldn't let me take off within Kittyhawk. I'm approved, I'm within the flight boundaries, but still nothing.
One thing I noticed is that on the Mavic controller itself it was displaying the message "In NFZ", or something similar. The drone/controller seem to think I'm doing something bad, the app recognizes I'm LAANC approved but seems to be outvoted by the drone or controller.
Do I need to apply separately through DJI to get some additional authorization?
And just to verify, once I get LAANC authorization through Kittyhawk do I need to perform my flight from within the Kittyhawk app or is it supposed to provide notification to the DJI Go 4 app to allow me to fly within the parameters of the authorization? Since I was never able to get off the ground I don't have a great feel for the Kittyhawk flight experience, the displayed screen seems be simplified.
Please help if you can,
Thanks!
Ryan
