Time of day changes in airspace - how do you handle them?

Kaydet · Jun 20, 2021

I live in the USA near an airport in what is Class D airspace certain hours of the day, and class G at all other times. The LAANC apps and DJI zones aren't smart enough to recognize this time-of-day variation and consider the airspace class D with zero AGL (no fly zone) at all times. I've acquired a custom unlock via the DJI website, but even with that the DJI Go app behaves erratically - sometimes it recognizes the unlock on first attempt, and other times I have to reimport the unlock code into the aircraft before it will fly.

I'm curious if others have experienced this and if so, how do you handle it?

Thanks!

that's a bummer for sure. Patience is probably the only answer. Those times are generally listed in both local and Zulu times. Maybe DJI will catch on if prompted.

I am UK based but that is a good point you brought up as I have never really considered that as a potential issue (I guess your country has more time zones so you have to take that into effect?)

sorry for the lack of help
