Fly safe geo zones - Unlocking DJI Geo Zone

Questions & Answers
1

Hi all this is my first text

I have a DGI mini 2 and live near Manchester airport (5 miles) I am in restricted area due to that.

I want to fly drown in my back garden. I have used fly safe to add a restricted area polygon which has been excepted. I can not unlock the license on drone controller.

I try going to unlock geo zone / account unlocking licenses but there is nothing there to to unlock

I doing something wrong but not sure what, do I have to login to internet DJI site first?

I am in Wilmslow

My road is right at the edge of the Manchester Airport restriction area lines it is be 5 miles by road but lot closer direct could be in 2.5km

I have worked out how to upload my Geo zones to my drone the show when linked up to DGI fly

The drone will still not take off in my garden the propellers s stop seconds after trying to start
DGI fly Is telling me I am in Manchester restricted area

I don’t think you are allowed to take off at all(even if kept in the garden) at any height. Now the chances are you’ll get away with it, but all it takes is a neighbour complaining about the noise/privacy and you could be in trouble .

Thankfully DJI don’t regulate the airspace, CAA do.

Have a read of this @manchest1 - especially # 7
