Good morning...

I suspect this may have been covered before as it can't be just me.....

I live near an untowered airport, about 2.6 miles away and not in it's fight path. I can fly by simply accepting the 'warning when it pops up.

If I move slightly closer to the airport, still outside of it's flightpath but less than 2 miles, the drone won't launch, saying I am in a no fly zone! EVERY app I have says I can 'go fly'. Including Fly Safe, Kittyhawk etc. They all show I am still within the same enhanced warning zone as I am at home. No option to 'unliock' the drone is given . Both the DJI and Litchi app respond the same.

If this is an error is there someplace I can report it? Dji? Do they even care?

I've included a screen capture from the Flysafe app... (the little blue dot near 14 mile '1 ' is where I am attempting to launch from)

Thoughts and advice appreciated...

I'm still fairly new to this so take pity on my 'ignorance..

There's no obvious explanation on the sectional chart for VLL.
