I tried to setup my Phantom 4 tonight, and it seems that since I live a few blocks away from an airport, the Phantom will not power up.
The town I live in has about 200 residents. We have an emergency runway for 737's. This has never been used to date. Our runway is mainly sponsored by our Air Force for Night Training Touch & Go's (from CYMJ, CFB Moose Jaw (15 Wing Moose Jaw). Night Flying up here is about 3 times a year. During the year about 50 aircraft (Flying Farmers) use the Aerodrome.
Most of the year it is just a waste of space (of course with the exception of it being an active Emergency Runway for 737's (from Calgary to Toronto (and visa-vera)).
Since CKQ5 (Lucky Lake) is a listed airport, and our town is like only a few blocks large for our 200 residents, is there any way I can test out my Phantom 4 at our ball parks? They are on the south side of town, clear of any air traffic. Any flight traffic flys from east to west, on the north side of town. No one ever flys over the town. As such, I wish not to obstruct any aircraft on the rare day that one would be in the neighbourhood.
Tonight, I was setting up my aircraft, and I noticed it had a red flag at the top left of the screen stating the aircraft was not ready to fly.
I tried to bypass this, by forcing an engine start.
What happened next was something I was not expecting (and there is NO information on this that I have come across).
A POPUP Menu came up and wanted me to enter either my VISA Card information OR to validate my SIM Card (Phone number assoicated with the SIM).
I entered my phone number, and it FAILED. I figure it wants my Dummy Phone Number that the phone company (SaskTel) issued my iPad Mini 4.
DJI Mindy (or anyone else), can you kindly explain what happened on my iPad??? And can anyone direct me to any legal text as to why DJI Go wanted either my Visa # or my SIM Phone #?????
I don't think I left out anything, other than a few important screenshots that may have assisted you further. If anyone needs some screenshots, I'll do my best to get some tomorrow in the daylight hours.
Thanks for reading
Michael
