I have tried their unlocking procedures and the rarely work at the rural airports. I can not depend on them to work and some of the airports to which I go have marginal internet access. The point is that DJI does NOT have the authority or right to determine where I can or can not fly. That is...

Most all of the "airports" at which I work are also airports into which I fly. Many of them are marked in red by "Airmaps" who is, I understand, the organization who defines the various airspace as cautionairy or "restricted". My issue is that I, as a drone operator, can fly in what Airmaps and...

Ok fellow "Droners" I am putting out a call for input and Help. Most of the work for which I purchased my DJI Mavic is done on and around the immediate area of General Aviation airports in what is known as "Class G" airspace. FAA Advisory Circular 90-66B; part 9.2.1 specifically states that...

If you have the version in which that option does appear you may want to use it as long as you are able...

Thank you for that but... my version of the software does not have that option. If I were you I would NOT upgrade to the version I have: 2.9.2. I'll wager that you have an older version. Thank you for trying.

How did you turn off that feature???

Thanks for the feedback. I did purchase it in hopes that it would solve the airspace problem I have. It does work well at home but when I went to the airport at which I am supposed to do some work the drone would not fly. I got a "take-off command timed out, error -1003" error. Nothing I did...

I am having the same problem as all of you; "take-off command timed our, erroe -1003". The thing is I flew the drone at home in my front yard and I flew correctly. I took it to my local airport where I am supposed to do some work for the airport manager and the drone gave the "timed out" error...

I have installed the litchi app on my iPad and it works correctly at home. When I take it to my local airport to do some work for the local administrator at the airport (with official permission) the app issues a "take-off command has timed out, error -1003" warning. Has anyone encountered...

I have just tried to fly the DJI at my local airport and received a voice warning: "warning, take-off command timed out, error -1003" has anyone encountered this?

Yes, you are correct that many folks do not use common sense when flying drones but I believe that there should be a way for DJI to allow for those who want to use their very good products for work, and with proper identification, to have universal unrestricted use. I have not heard of the...

Sorry about that, I am in the U.S., South Carolina. DJI purchases maps from "Airmaps". These folks assemble maps showing areas of "sensitive" airspace that drone pilots need to be aware of. DJI seems to take this data and classify it into areas of differing levels of "Restricted" airspace and...

I am coming in late as well but wanted to ask: do any of you use DJI products? I purchased a DJI Phamtom 3 standard. I am a pilot and sUAS certificate holder. I document aviation events and work with airports to do aerial photographic survey work. After I purchased the Phantom I discovered that...
