Yes, it woukd be a federal offence to overfly those airports. But on the current no fly zones, it would be physically impossible for a moron to penetrate that airspace. You could not take off within that space and if you were in the air, the craft would automatically start descending. Moron proof. Idiot proof. Under geofencing one can get in there. Easily as DJI keeps saying. Just a couple of taps and a phone number. You think Mr terrorist minds the process? Now I ask you folks, what do you, as a persons who values human life which I'm sure you do, think is the safer system? Where is the improvement in safety? Would you rather have an system that makes it easy to find the perpetrator of the air crash on the 7 o'clock news or making it impossible to cause the crash? Which, is already present on the current no fly zone system. Mix that with 120 meter hard limit, boom, a hell of a lot less air conflicts. And without pissing off so many loyal customers to boot. So hence, right now a guy in Bucharest can take off in his back yard but cannot fly over those very busy airports no matter how much crystal meth he took that day. Post geofencing, he could no longer take off in his backyard. But after clrarances, he could tske off and if he is nuts enough, he could fly over those airports. And only after the bodies are in the morgue from an air crash will he have problems with the authorities. I keep an apartment in Gibraltar. Over there, under the current no fly zone system, I cannot get anywhere near that airport with my drone. But I can fly all day long at the beach nearby in Tarifa, Spain. There's not much there other than a couple of restaurants. Under geofencing I can, two clicks away, completely disrupt the landing of an Airbus 320 on one of the shortest runways in the world, which Gibraltar is. Oh, but I would be breaking laws! Right now it's impossible to break so long as its a DJI product. Post geofence, hell, two clicks, try, it's easy.... But that big empty beach at Tarifa with a few restaurants? Nope, all yellow. Nah, it's not about safety at all. It's only effect is to show intent on DJI's part. Geofencing with this senseless map reduces safety at the very best. At the very worst it puts one in the same manhunt list as the, say, 33 others who cleared that day, of which one moron caused the catastrophe. Because now, two clicks away, he can. One would have to be on the drugs listed above to think there is any benefit to John Q Flier or John Q Public under geofencing with this crappy map. As for those few who have to do aerial work in a no fly? Have the new proposed system available for the old no fly zones in order to expedite for the work involved.
