FYI: DJI does not reference what happens when you take off without GPS inside an authorization zone.
Without GPS, the drone is allowed basic flight, up to the limits stated in the owners manual.
(16' high), Manual does not state a distance limit.
Once the craft acquires a GPS signal, (and knows it's in an authorization/unlock zone), it will FORCE a landing. Within 90 seconds. Even if it's 1,000 feet from you...
This forced landing is not a 'please land' or 'returning home' it's a "your drone WILL land within 90 seconds, regardless of the landing situation.
While this situation can be prevented by waiting for a GPS signal before take off - this scenario is not covered in the manual.
Thus, be sure your GPS signal is strong before take off. Especially if you think you're in one of these zones.
