On a recent flight described in an earlier post my Mav3 locked up after getting a notice I was entering a restricted zone. Problem is, I wasn't - at least not according to the B4UFlY app as well as the DJI Geo fence app. I was nearby but clearly not within any designated circle. After getting the notice my Mav3 became almost entirely unresponsive. I attempted to turn tail and come home but the Mav3 was not having it. In the csv file at 25m 35.5 seconds I get the Aircraft entered Restricted Zone. It was either referring to an altitude zone of 150 meters which I was well below or a nearby Authorization Zone which I was not within. I was approximately .5mi from the Authorization zone. Would you expect that to cause a drone to lock up? I was even further from any FAA restricted area shown via the B4UFLY app. I am attaching the TXT file converted from a CSV file. Hopefully that is the correct one. It may seem like and odd flight; I was showing a friend who has never flown a few bits. I was aware of the nearby zone and thought I was being careful not to enter it :). It may be as simple as being within .5mi of a restricted zone is too close although I have flown in that area even closer in the past.

That file is no help for anyone trying to look into the flight data.
If you've already uploaded to Airdata, just post a link to the Airdata summary , but make sure that you've ticked the share box.
