NFZ help please..

[Kmccb]

I'm on vacation at the beach and would love to fly my Mavic over the ocean and get some nice footage. Can someone tell me what this means?

I read that thread recently where the guy had his Mavic auto land in the drink because of a NFZ and obviously want to avoid that.

Thanks

For Model Aircraft Use Under Part 101
Within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the air traffic control tower with prior notice of the operation.

Operator Infographic - AirMap

Call the number and inform them you will be flying your drone.

I think what he is saying is that how does the APP know you called? Will the NFZ then disappear once you call and the app wont "auto land in the water" since it still thinks it is a NFZ, even though you called?

That's AirMap, not the DJI app. AirMap has nothing to do with actually flying.

Check the DJI map if you're worried your Mavic will die by inadvertently stumble into a NFZ.

I wonder when the software in your car's many computers is "upgraded" to not allow you to park in a no parking zone or a handicap spot.

He asked what it means. I think he doesn't know what NFZ means. The answer, my friend is No Fly Zone. Meaning the airspace close by an airport or air traffic route where it is illegal to fly hobby air craft.
