So i thought about making a little flight this afternoon but when i arived at the location guess what. The drone says it is a  "restricted area" and i could only take of if i accept some sort of things and put in my credit card iformation or my mobile number? I mean this area is far way from the actual non functional airstrip that isnt used at all. I feel a bit nervous about giving my mobile number or even my credit card info so they could charge me with fines straight away?
Iguess DJI got old information because this airstip is out of use for decades.


Anyone got some exp with this kind of situation let me know,


Cheers

Get a prepaid card from the store for $20 or something. Use that card #.

You could contact DJI at flysafe@dji.com and also include the airport identifier (EHxx).  

AND, are you POSITIVE that there is not an active GRASS runway nearby or even parallel?

DJI indeed does not know about functional facilities, only display and use the information they get from other sources. I guess the easiest is just to seek for some other nice spot.
Some times the places in your own surrounding are just fine, for testing purpose, some football fields maybe?
