Hey there,
Please see the attached image below, taken by <ahem> a friend.
Only after the flight was over and the images were being reviewed was it clear that the Mavic was somewhat near the hospital with the heliport. See to the right of the freeway image lower-center, a flat area with 3 circles on it. There was NO other air traffic at the time, but still, it looks close.
The area was reported as "height restricted" in DJI Go 4 due to local air-space classifications and the aircraft stayed below that height, but it was thought that the restriction was for an airport (Boeing Field Int.) that was a few miles behind the image. And maybe it was.
My question is: could someone get in trouble posting this image to social media? Would some authority look at that and say "Okay, that's a baddie" and report the poster to the FAA or something?
Or is it simply a case of, if the operator is observing restrictions as reported by the controller app, they are okay?
Thanks for any input,
Chris
