Last Friday - I had to go through some hoops to fly at a working airport. We were filming semis coming down an empty runway. The FAA was the first hurdle. Waiver process went great went through the drone zone. Then I submitted the FAA waiverand flight plans to DJI fly safe and they unlocked it and even widened the geofencing unlocking after they reviewed the flight plan.
I made the flight plan in AirMap and screen captured it and attached it to flysafe application. I attached FAA waiver as well.
My mistake was waiting to wait to unlock the
I2 until I got to set. DJI flysafe support communicated quite quickly through email support through the DJI flysafe email system.
I wasn’t able to take off without updating the DJI go 4 App and the database. Had to delete and reinstall GO4. This meant I had to leave from set to get wifi and not cellular coverage to upload it. The database also had to be up to dated.
Then it unlocked. And I was able to fly - took three hours to finally get it up in the air. I would unlock before arriving at location again.
The only way to override it seems you need to obtain an “unlock”.
After updating app, on the same iPad, I was able to fly the P4Pro and unlock a geofence in a no fly zone this week through the DJI flysafe and there was no issue and gave a 3 day window.
I’ve had luck with the AirMap app and getting approval for LAANC in previous areas where it was a no-go. Done it several times with success.
Just updated the
I2 with the battery update and am testing this week.
