I have owned and flown the P4P for more than a year on my property. Today I purchased a Mavic Air and I cannot fly down my driveway. I live near a high security state prison, but never had, and still don't have issues with the P4P, just the new Mavic Air. What's a guy to do?

I'm new to all this, I performed the latest firmware up date, now I can't fly at my home do to being in close proximity to NAS JRB. Did research on the FAA web site, I should only be limited to a 200' ceiling, not "can not fly.

The authorities do not want you to to deliver Xmas 'goodies' to the prisoners. It has been done before prison drug delivery , just a  sign of the times

I know how you feel. I always fly in the back and front yard just for the fun of it if I haven't taken it out in a while. Just to stay familiar with flying it. I've had multiple Mavic Pro's and a P4A and have flown them no problems at all.. When I first got my Mavic 2 Pro is also worked no problem at all. Maybe about a month ago or so it just randomly stopped letting me take off saying I was in an NFZ even though I am no-where near an NFZ. It also told me to update my precision fly database or whatever about the same time. I thought maybe it was because I needed to update that so I went ahead and did that update.. Still will not let me fly. I live in Iowa and there is nothing around me except for the Des Moines International Airport that is like 15 miles away and a prison that is around 80 miles away in the opposite direction.

I haven't taken my M2P out since so it's just been sitting collecting dust until I decide if I'm just going to sell it or what. Seems useless to have something if I can't even use it where I live in the middle of no-where.

You need to escalate problem with DJI.
Find out why your MP2 think's it is in a NFZ.

Any chance you live in one of extended Bowties of Airport?

Bowties extend a very long way out from airport.

Was this after updating Geo where it gave you the option to ignore ?
