The answer depends on where you are trying to fly. That message could mean you are in restricted airspace. If you share your location, I'm sure someone can advise you further here.

Restricted airspace doesn't apply indoors, but your drone has no way of knowing you are inside if it's able to get a GPS lock, so it assumes you are outside. I wouldn't suggest you fly your $1400 drone indoors though, unless you want to crash it.

Assuming you are in the U.S., you need LAANC approval. It may not be possible depending on NFZ designations where you are trying to fly.

Without your 107 you may not be able to get it or may have a limited altitude.

Also note that DJI does occasionally program the areas incorrectly. If so, contacting FAA and then DJI provided FAA says it’s OK to fly/TO where you are trying.

If we knew where you were trying to fly ..near a airport or whatever
someone could tell you why you can’t fly. As far as we know you might be right inside a NFZ. That message came up for a reason.
That’s why more info is important. If you think you can fly anywhere
you want you really need to do some studying.

I suggest that the OP does not understand that his DJI drone is an aircraft within the meaning of the term. Accordingly, he should consider the acquisition of an aircraft that does not contain the equipment (firm/soft) that attempts to influence compliant operation. IOW, buy an Autel, Dude.

You should come up to Canada where you can just hand wave that away! Good luck down there, neighbour!

Although I agree with most of that. I don't agree on you telling someone to go to Autel to bi-pass NFZ's. Every Autel owner I know is a responsible pilot and follow the rules.

Most newbie who attempt to fly indoors for the first time usually crash their drone. Been there, done that. Not a nice feeling crashing $1400 a few seconds after take off.
I’d suggest go to some open field, away from a NFZ and practice flying outside.

You have to overlook that. I mean blablabla is 116 and that there

post i put mine back in the drawer.
Now @blablabla111 before you respond anymore I would read this whole page Community Rules
Then start over and these guys can help you.

What kind of drone is it? Can you turn off GPS and fly in Atti mode?

Gotta tell you my daily Mavic digest had this thread first. Read it and chuckled. Next thread is Crashed On First Flight. You know who I thought the OP was.

If your house is big enough, go for it. I hear you should be careful near walls, ceilings, coffee tables and etc due to the backwash making it hard to control. I don't know how to get around a Geo Zone warning.
