I took my drone out yesterday on a hike in the Cheviots, and could only fly it in one location on my route 55.510067103155784, -2.0744849340880718
The next three locations had restrictions on and I wasnt allowed to fly.
Thanks in advance
The first one
55.523945, -2.071429 has no restrictions, can you share what you think the restrictions are ?
*edit, checked the other 2 and no restrictions either
i was going toreport the same.
@jonathan_atkinson can you give more details of these restrictions
Hi @jonathan_atkinson, it looks as though you’re quite new here 
Why not nip over to the Introductions category to say hello and tell us a bit about yourself 
The area I managed to fly said something like ’ on the border of… fly with caution '. The areas I couldnt the drone started then stopped, with a message of ‘restricted area’. Sorry I forgot to make a proper note of the messages. The area is a big game bird zone, and the glider club flies in that area too.
What were you flying?, Geo Fencing was removed from DJI gear years ago
It would be really useful if you could share the Airdata logs for this issue, it’ll help people provide you with a more detailed answer based on what actually happened.
If you’re not familiar with Airdata it’s an independent platform that allows you to aggregate your flight records and it also allows you to share logs with other people.
Here’s a guide on how to upload your flight logs to their web site / app:
Setting up Direct DJI Sync
Once your logs are visible in Airdata you can use this guide to share the log(s) in question:
Once you’ve created the share on the Airdata web site simply reply here and paste the URL, someone will then take a closer look for you.

That looks like it is near a location that exists on DroneScene
There are no restrictions in the immediate area
Also your Airdata shows no warnings (which it would had there been any on the screen)
Yeah, weird. I had used it a few times prior to that trip, with no problems. I updated the firmware again last night and used it today with no problems. I’ll be going back there in a few weeks, so I’ll try again. Cheers
Secret Squirrels (not necessarily ours) with jamming devices being used illegally, or have I been watching too much conspiracy stuff. If you think it’s this, you can probably contact GCHQ or somebody about it; they’ll be the experts and might want to know if the source is not ‘ours’, or that it’s detectable in this way if it is! Don’t expect any response or reaction from them, though, they are what they are!
Once upon a time, I worked for the road vehicle department liason at BT, this was back in the 80s. A lady phoned in and got dumped on me to complain that a BT van was blocking her driveway and she couldn’t see up the road properly, and to get it moved. She gave me the reg and fleet numbers, and it obviously wasn’t one of ours, not that I could get her to believe this! When she went out. to knock on the window, which I’d given her permission to do, the van shot off like a stabbed rat, and she never saw it again, but there was apparently a gas board van parked across the road within a few minutes. When she claimed that nobody in her sort of area could possibly be under that sort of surveillance, I reminded her that Kim Philby was pretty middle-class on the surface and told her it must be her, then, and to watch out for unidentified clicks and squeaks on her phone line… It was about 4 minutes before the complaint that somebody was listening to her phone convos came in to the desk opposite…
