Restricted Air Space issue

radiowaves · Nov 22, 2019

I just returned to my home in Lighthouse Point FL A little history, Three years ago I had no issues flying my older drone at this location, I bought a new Mavic and all of a sudden I could no longer fly it, I didn't realize DJI was going to be controlling where I could use my new drone thru their software. This year while I was up north I saw on AIR MAP that this location was authorize for 100 ft elevation, thought I was all set. Not to be the case, seems airport a couple miles away doesn't use LAANC! What can I do to be able to fly?
Any help would be appreciated

If the location is in controlled airspace that is not yet covered by LAANC then you will need to apply for a waiver or authorization through the FAA DroneZone website.

But note, as a hobbyist, FAA will only authorize 100ft as per facilities map showing in AirMap.

At least DJI added altitude restricted zones in their geofence. Before that it would be no fly unless you unlocked.

And that my friends, is why DJI has Geofence: to protect the less informed.
