I went out in my front yard this week to fly my Phantom some and was forced to do a update for the restricted areas list.
After the update I got a Restricted Airspace warning for the first time.
Apparently, in the past week, DJI decided that the warehouses and businesses as well as the Town Hall complex across the street from my home are now a school.
So now, when I try to take off from my front yard near, Google Maps , I have to go through the checklist saying that I'm allowed to fly in this area and accept responsibility blah blah. AAArrrgggghhh.
It's not "Sunshine School" or whatever they claim it is. Unless the Mayor is running a daycare out of his office, which he isn't. There is no school here. Just the city offices and departments and the nearby warehouse and light industrial buildings, even a convenience store.
And it's not just DJI. I logged into AirMap to check it on their map. AirMap shows it, here- AirMap Web App .
OK, 25 or 30 years ago the place where the Town Hall is was a small elementary school. But that was more than 25 years ago. Why is the entire city block now highlighted in yellow?
How do I go about having this reversed since there is no school here? Is there one central authority doing this that DJI, AirMap and the others use for their data?
Thanks.
