Apologies if I have some of this terminology wrong...
I'm traveling next week to a place I have been to several times. There is a GPS map error that marks the Authorization Zone, where I will be, as a No-Fly Zone. It is near a very lightly used unmanned airstrip. When I fly, I'm well below 400' and call the closest airport which of course doesn't really care.
When I had an older firmware version on my MP I could still fly (with authorization) but of course once I upgraded the drone would not fly without an exception code from DJI. That process was time consuming as each email to them occurred on 24 hour cycles due to the time difference. So, 3 days after I reported the error I had an exception but was then halfway through my trip.
I now have the M2P which of course will not take off in this zone, if is marked as a No-Fly area.
I was curious if anyone has had luck setting up flight exceptions ahead of time with DJI and how you would go about doing this?
I was hoping to send them coordinates and ask for support.
Thanks for any tips or pointers to other places to ask this question.
