My assumption is that it's related to the cycling of the GPS/OPTI/ATTI modes while flying inside
Yes, that would be consistent with other similar experiences people have reported here.
Does anyone know how the drone would react inflight if it suddenly realized it was flying in a geo-fenced no-fly zone?
That was discussed recently by someone who took off in an NFZ before his Mavic acquired a GPS signal. In a nutshell, he reported that after a short delay (about 20 seconds) it began trying to land, though he did still have some control over it.
Would the controller loose the ability to control the drone altogether?
Apparently not. What was described in that other thread sounds like what occurs when the critical battery level threshold is reached: the aircraft wants to descend, but you still have a bit of control over it.
I guess the best way to fix that issue is to get authorization for the class D airspace
If you mean fulfill the FAA's requirement of notifying the tower and airport manager I don't imagine that will help. If you mean that you think that the Mavic (incorrectly) believes itself to be in an NFZ and want to get the DJI database updated, that's easy enough to check: just power it on outdoors, wait for it to acquire GPS, and see what happens. If it's willing to let you take off then you aren't in an NFZ.
I really want to take some videos & photos inside the hangar! Thoughts?
Use prop guards, go slow, and try to stay away from windows where GPS signals can leak into the hangar. |
