I'm about to buy my first DJI product (P4Pro) and am wondering how my proximity to the local airport is going to affect its use. Although I haven't researched the exact details, I know there is an unlock process to get around NFZs but based on posts I've seen there seem to be some exceptions.
1. Will there be an issue with the first time I turn it on out of the box if it's in a NFZ?
2. I have my Part 107 but treat home test flights of my other drones as non-commercial so I can just notify the tower as a recreational flight. I've applied for an FAA authorization (2 months ago) but have yet to hear back. Does hobbyist vs commercial affect the NFZ unlock process as a general rule?
Are the NFZ zones on DJI's map accurate or merely representative? If accurate then the local one stops a few streets short of me even though I'm only 2.1 miles from the airport. That would be nice. I've asked these questions in the DJI forum without response. Sort of dread calling DJI's pre-sales line since I doubt they know something this technical. Any ideas on if I'm going to have a problem either initially or ongoing?
