I was at a site. I applied for and received LAANC authorization. I know that has nothing to do with unlocking an authorization zone but someone is bound to ask about it so I thought I’d get that out of the way. My take-off location was outside the DJI authorization zone but I needed to fly into the authorization zone. There didn’t appear to be any way for me to trigger the unlocking process from DJI Go4.
I’ve self-unlocked at a previous site when taking off within the authorization zone after the restriction noticed appeared. But, in this case I needed to fly into an authorization zone. After taking off, when I hit the invisible barrier, I received both an audible warning and a popup message. However, there was no obvious way to initiate the self-unlock.
I landed and tried to do a self-unlock using the DJI self-unlocking web site. However, the DJI web site said “Sorry, do not support submitting applications on mobile devices. You can submit it through the PC page.” <rant>Really? They haven’t figured out how to make a web site work on an iPad yet?</rant>. I had no choice but to give up.
After getting access to a laptop computer I was able to do a scheduled self-unlock. I then went back to the site the next day and successfully flew my mission.
Would someone tell me what the trick is to self-unlock on-site (outside of a blue authorization zone) using the DJI Go4 app so that you can fly into that blue authorization zone?
