I ran into a problem where I could not launch my Phantom Pro 4 Advanced in a zone that FAA permits flight within up to 50 feet AGL.
If you navigate to: https://faa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html and enter the street address "9638 24th Bay St., Norfolk, VA 23518", you'll see FAA permits flight up to 50 feet AGL.
However, if you navigate to the https://www.dji.com/flysafe/geo-map site, and look at the flight restrictions for the North America> U.S.> Phantom 4 Advanced, and navigate to this same address/area, DJI has Norfolk International needing authorization and will not allow my drone to launch.
FAA of course will not provide "authorization" for an area that they already give permission to fly in, so I cannot submit an authorization letter to DJI to unlock my drone to fly in that area.
I'm familiar with this process, as I have FAA blanket auhoization for another area and when I have to fly in that area, I submit my authorization letter to DJI and they unlock the restrictions for me. But what do I do for this situation?
It seems that DJI needs to update their software to match the FAAs system? What do I need to do to launch my drone in an FAA approved area?
Thanks,
Frank
