Flying at an airport?

[GeoffSdotNet]

I'm an aviation photographer and airshow performer (pyro displays). I regularly work within DJI's airport restricted zones. I'm getting more requests for drone photos/video at aviation events. I have an sUAS certificate and I always work in close coordination with the airport and/or airshow air-boss so there is no legal restriction on the flight.

Is there any way to get DJI's geo-fencing to allow flight within an airport restricted zone?

I'm not really interested in disabling the GPS or similar tricks.
I was hoping there was some way to have the restriction lifted via the "self-unlock" system.

Cheers,

Geoff S.

I see the "Custom Unlock" tab on the "Self Unlock" page appears to do what I need.

Has anyone used it?

Cheers,

In reference to your original question: I think if it's a RED ZONE you'll have to submit your credentials and approvals to DJI and get the "Special" DJI Go Ap for that location. I haven't done one personally so I can't speak intelligently about it unfortunately.

Safe Flights!
