Here's my situation:
I want to chase and film the local Ferry. With my Mavic Air, the areas where I can take off are quite limited before I'd be too far from the path to attempt a flight.
To make things more interesting, all but the very edge of my take-off area are at the edge of a (Military Restricted) no fly zone. Specifically, it appears that:
To the front and left of me would be the River, no restrictions on flight anywhere in the water. To my back I have about 10 feet before the edge of the No Fly, and I'm lucky to have 10 more feet to my right before I hit the no-fly again. Basically, the beach is clearly marked as flyable, but the shore behind it is the outer edge of a very generous No Fly for a naval base.
My questions are:
How precise are the NO Fly zones? Should I worry that I will be able to take off above the water but will not necessarily be able to make it back?
What happens if you are in mid-flight and you head (accidentally) toward a no fly? Will you stop abruptly, gradually, what will happen?
Just trying to figure out what my risks are here. As long as I don't have to land my drone in the water, I suspect the pictures will be worth a flight with sweaty palms.
