I recently updated the Geofence file for my Phantom 4 Pro v2. I fly at a model airport near a real airport. In the previous version I would get a warning and if I clicked ok I could fly. Now I get a can not take off message that I am in a restricted area. Here is the map shoowing the model airport. This area needs to be taken out of the geofence as I am not the only person flying here. This is just south of Van Nuys Airport in the San Fernando Valley  portion of Los Angeles.

Thank you. I did that and I was instructed to get an authorization from the airport. I am waiting for that but I believe that it will only give only me a temporary authorization. This location needs to be removed from the no fly zone.

Good luck on that one.  Sometimes it pays to ignore updates.

Huh... an AMA field aligned with a airport's runway in a 0' AGL facility map zone! I'm sure this field and the airport have a good working relationship over the years and AMA has been flying there for a long time. That's a nice looking field.
