Hi,

I have to say this thing is driving me mad.

I have just purchased a Mavic Mini.

I live in North Queensland, australia, and am 77 years old.

I can fly my Mini fine at home, but live in amongst cane paddocks, and if it goes down it is gone.

I fly other quads and rc planes, and have been doing so for about 15 years.

We fly at the Ingham Airport, which is unregulated.

I took the Mini to the airport last weekend, but could not fly it because it was in an authorised zone.

I got approval to fly it yesterday and today at the airport via DJI website..

Yesterday, when I tried to fly it,  even though I thought I had approval to fly, it would not let me take off due to the zone.

I again got approval to fly for today.

I went to the airport today, and all seemed ok ... the quad told me I had approval to fly, but when I tried, I was advised that I was not logged in.

After perusing the screen, I was unable to find a way to log in anywhere.

I then found somewhere, I can't remember, in the settings menu, where I could log out, so the system obviously thought I was logged in.

So I have a couple of questions ...

Can I only get approval to fly at the airport for one day at a time?

How can I log in when I am at the airport, when there is no provision of DJI Fly to log in?

hope some one can help, or point me to a similar type quad that doesn't have all this security stuff on it, but flies as well, and has similar transmittison range.

I did see somewhere that I could try uninstalling the app then reinstalling it, but where I fly, mobile reception is pretty slow, and I don't really feel like sitting there for an hour while the app downloads and reinstalls, when it might not work anyway.

help please, or I will have to send it back to the retailer, and try another quad.

thanks Dave.

If you do the approval online then you can get approval for 3 days.    https://fly-safe.dji.com/unlock/unlock-request/

not much point getting approval if the  app won't let you fly any way, because it reckons you're not logged in when you are ... what do you suggest in that situation ...

Under Profile -> Settings you can log out,  and then when you return to the Profile page it will prompt you to login,   if you do the three day unlock before leaving you can check that the app has the details before you leave home.
