New in Box Imported from Korea recently, maiden flight ( For Me ) last week in an unrestricted area with no issues, however, this past Sunday, I went into an area of airspace that required LAANC authorization ( no problem there, done it many times with the M3C ), but that darn DJI Geo Fence popped up ( due to a small airfield nearby ), I checked off all the questions in the popup, but still would not allow me to fly.

I logged onto DJI FlySafe to register my new drone as I did with my M3Cine a couple of years back, to see if this issue would clear.
Nope still there,

I am assuming since this drone is from Korea, the GeoFencing is embedded in the software, am I right ??

What am I to do to overcome this ?

I've had no problems with a Mavic 4 Pro from South Korea flying near a small airport, after checking the pop-up box.

What's the location? There may be another airspace restriction in place other than that small airport?
 
Ditto as MS Coast. I have always been able to acknowledge the pop-up and fly without issue. M4Pro from Korea. A few weeks ago I was flying within a mile of small untowered airfield, class G airpsace. Have you made sure your firmware is fully updated?
 
It is helpful to go to a site like:
UAS Sidekick
to check out if your proposed area has an issue with the authorities. See if it matches up later with your warnings. What it does not do is warn you about places that have takeoff and landing restrictions. This requires further research. Think weird HOA and State/National Park rules.

Thanks for the replies,

Near Philadelphia International on the NJ side of the River, Class B Air Space, permission to fly 300 AGL ( Air Aware LAANC )
DJI Fly Safe may be the issue here, I have to dig in a little deeper to get answers.

I believe I have the latest firmware on both the Drone and Controller, 01.00.0300 & 01.00.0400 ( RC Pro 2 ) Respectively.
