DJI Mini 4 Pro not able to fly despite NOT being in an FRZ

This may or may not apply here but, this morning I went to a place where I have flown before, albeit with a Parrot Anafi, and got a notice that I couldn’t fly (and the drone was grounded) as I was in an FRZ. Surprised by this, I checked on Dronscene and, yes I was well outside any FRZ. This is new to me as I don’t know how to deal with it. Should I be anywhere else and this happens I’d be keen to be armed with some information. Can anyone shed any light as to how I need to tackle this. I have read something about licenses and disabling them but really have no idea?

Have you updated the fly safe database?

As @Seadog suggests, your DJI “flysafe” database is very out of date.

You can manually update it via the “About” menu in the DJI Fly app.

Naturally make sure the drone is on and connected at the time.

There are only two places in the UK now that DJI will ground you, both are over the King’s residences :blush:

Phew, I’m glad I didn’t spend a load of time writing code to add in that extra DJI layer for you then :rofl:

Oh… wait… :roll_eyes::rofl:

Looks like they’ve changed them both back to Enhanced Warning Zones again.

So it was temporary / a bug, as suspected :man_facepalming:t2:

Which is good, as this means there’s now nowhere in the UK that DJI restrict flights again.

There is no air data as I was grounded by DJI. Second time I’ve been grounded.
This one was at:


I was also grounded at this Danebury Hill fort, which IS within an ATZ, and I was informed on the RC2 that I had to connect ATC at Middle Wallop to get permission to fly.

As above

Update your flysafe database

DJI don’t restrict anymore
