Interpreting OpenSky For South East Brisbane?

[eva2000]

Still deciding which DJI drone to buy Mini SE or Mini 2 for use for inspecting my roof before/after repair/fixes to prep for solar installation. But I checked OpenSky for my area and from screenshot below, I'd be limited to venturing outside of my area right? I should be fine for roof inspections etc?

Hi George.
If you’re in that orange zone where the pin is, no problems to fly.
It’s marked a danger area being on the fringe of the red no fly zone (Archerfield controlled airport), but otherwise no other warnings.
In the red zone your drone possibly won’t even start up (geo fencing).
The DJI airsafe map zones MIGHT give you some grief, you might have to unlock to fly.
See this thread . . .

I guess you will have to try a flight before knowing if you do need to go through the unlock process to fly.

Just checked the flysafe map, it appears ok where your pin is.
Just.

Sydney is pretty heavily restricted for sure.Buuuut . . . you as getting the mini (2 most likely), so . . .

You might have clicked the link to the thread above I posted (unlocking), post #6 asks about the mini having less restrictions, and it does . . .

If you set up and try the unlock in blue zones, you'll probably have more places around Sydney metro you can fly.

Yes I’ve noticed where one can fly close to airport boundaries, thee I’d often an altitude restricts below the usual 120m.
Rarely do I fly metro though, prefer heading away from people and busy locations.
