I am wondering if anyone else has experienced a problem when on the edge of a restricted zone.
I tried to fly my P3P in a field owned by the local university last week. The drone would not connect to the controller. I tried with and without the tablet/phone and in P and A modes. The aircraft just continued to blink yellow quickly (lost controller connection) and would not connect. We suspect the problem is that the campus is just outside the green Warning zone for East Midlands Airport. However, I didn't get any sort of warning from the DJI Go app. Should I have had a warning? When I returned back home, away from the warning area, everything was absolutely fine.
I have been looking at the Unlocking function webpages, but it is confusing. It appears that the Green area that we were in should not have stopped us flying. I want to check if unlocking works, but I will not have a Wifi connection. I will try using the Flight Planner, but I will not be able to be logged into the DJI account via the internet when at the site.
Can anyone give any advice on:
1) whether you would expect that behaviour if we were in a restricted area (ie. no connection, no warning)?
2) If not, what else might I try to see what the problem is?
3) Once I unlock the site using the Flight Planner, how does the DJI Go app know?
Thanks for your help. I've read the forums and watched the videos which are pretty good, but I'm still a bit confused!
