Hi. Sorry if it be on here before … Am. QPR supporter for my sins … QPR FC is in a FRZ … and rang Heathrow air controller for permission to fly an orbit around QPR sometime in future. Which I can as long keep to a certain height … have a Mavic Mini pro 3 with the R/C 1 controller ( that the one with phone attached) so what do I need on the fly app and DJI to unlock when I get permission? This be my first time to gain permission to fly in FRZ. Thanks. Steve .
You don’t need a DJI unlock… Only required if flight is above the 500M altitude zone and we can only legally go 120M in that area.

Good luck again Coventry today.

You can do it at the time of the flight through the fly app
You will need internet access as it’s a blue zone to unlock

Actually - it’s not.
FRZs are of a specific size, centred on airports, with extensions in line with runway centrelines. More information can be found on Drone Scene here.
These are the closest FRZs to Loftus Road … 
You can check this on Drone Scene here.
I think you are referring to Class D airspace - in which case check the info on Drone Scene here, where you’ll see there are no restrictions for flying drones beneath 400ft.

NFZ, made up shit
Probably best to do it on a match day, less people about

Thanks for your info … much appreciated
So to unlock on my DJI Fly App do I need a code ?
Or would I need to just unlock on when shown in the app. ? Only thought it in FRZ cos on match days I see plenty of aircraft every 2 mins or so coming in to London Heathrow airport …

Yeah should be a self unlock taking responsibility for the flight
You just need a DJI account and internet access

it’s dead easy after doing it once. Go to the DJI tutorial site and you get a step by step guide.
I did one a bit back as a trial, and you will after installing the ‘clearance’ get warnings to say where you are and fly carefully but it does allow you to go into those areas.

I get the same warning around the Riverside stadium, home of Middlesbrough FC and the drone stops dead.
What, after getting ‘release’ from DJI?

Didn’t get one. Not sure how to so didn’t bother. Next time it comes up I’ll get a release.
You mean the next time the venue comes up? You can get ‘releases’ from DJI whenever you require them, they do not come out at a specific time.
Side note, it’s easier to do it from home before setting off as it makes it all so much clearer to understand.
Still a bit of a ball ache though
Stadiums can be live unlocked as long as you have internet access

That’s why DH and NFD are a much better option

No, I was thinking of the next time it warned me, but reading your post about doing it from home makes sense, thanks for that.
