Yes, I had received your account and checked your account, it happened on 16/08/2017, right? It is the case mentioned above. That is normal. And the limitation can not be removed. So we recommend flying the drone in a place with fine GPS signal. You are welcome, we also feel great if we can truly offer the help. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time, we're glad to help.
So, I have had the same problem and it restricted a professional flight I was undertaking in a courtyard with weak GPS .
It seems ridiculous that there is a maximum height in these circumstances, as this could be a factor in a large cave or the internals of a building with a tall central atrium.
The only way around seems to be switching to ATTI mode, but as this switches off all sensors the platform becomes very tricky to fly safely in such an environment and is also against most Pilots operations manuals, as ATTI flying is not insured for.
DJI have clearly added this to restrict any flight that is not "recorded" through GPS tracking. Probably under pressure from aviation authorities.
I would argue that this is unsafe as it only encourages pilots to fly in ATTI mode .
Please could there be a way to opt out of this, as is the case when prompted about airspace restrictions.
