About twice a year I need to fly inside a gymnasium where there is no GPS. The current software limits height in this situation to about 20 feet or so.

Is there any way to "authorize" flying higher temporarily just to do this particular shoot?  

Thanks so much!!

You'll be able to fly up to 98 feet high after disabling the downward sensors.

Hi, Thanks for the inquiry. Unfortunately, this process would be risky due to lacking of GPS signal. I'm afraid that the aircraft would not recognize your command and act unusually. Thank you for understanding.

I fly my Mavic Air in the church auditorium a lot. It's a metal building so there's no GPS signal at all, plus I have no idea how high the ceilings are but I'm sure they're over 20 feet. I turn off all of the sensors and fly around with no problems at all.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I mainly wanted to make sure there was not some process I wasn't aware of to do this. Turning off downward sensors would disable VPS I think, which is really nice. So, will see how it goes tomorrow. Thanks again for the responses!!

Below is a past video example using the Mavic Air:
