Hi All,
I'm planning an upcoming trip to Pittsburgh and was hoping to fly around Point State Park, the three rivers junction and the sport stadiums.
I read up on Sporting Event TFR's and for MLB, NFL, NCAA D1 Football and the major motor sports, there's a 3 mile radius NFZ around the venue for 1 hour before and after the event. (https://www.faa.gov/uas/where_to_fly/airspace_restrictions/media/Sports_TFR-UAS_Handout.pdf)
So my question is this: has anyone tested if the DJI Go app is accurate outside this window? My concern is my plan was to fly from an elevated scenic lookout on one side of the river but if there is a TFR at all times and not only during the event, I would have to be very careful not to enter the TFR/NFZ otherwise my drone would land immediately (where I can't quickly reach it).
There are potential helipads where I want to fly but that's a whole separate issue I'm investigating.
Thoughts or experience on this? Thanks!
