So, I was one of the P3P refurb buyers, and took the aircraft out yesterday for the first time. I live in the DC NFZ, so things get hairy.
I live just inside the 15 mile NFZ, so I cannot fly at my house, but a short drives put me into a yellow zone (TFR#8326) and the larger "Enchanced warning zone."
The aircraft was on firmware version 1.5.80+. I went to 39.054672, -76.903888 and when trying to fly, it was prompting me to self authorize, which I did. I took the aircraft up a little bit, but when moving in any direction, it said I was in a NFZ and started landing. It almost landed in a wooded area . I tried a few more times, and got similar results. The interesting thing is that while the craft was landing, I still had some control, and if I hit the throttle up, it would fight against the landing. It is almost like two different processes were in play (A forced landing and me in control).
Later in the day, I went to 39.072680, -76.922730, which is in the warning zone. Before I headed out, I did the unlock on the website, and when trying to take off, it asked me to self authorize, and I did. But, after that, it just says "Cannont take off in a NFZ." Tried turning GEO off and still no dice.
I came home and update FW to 1.8.80. If there any hope in trying again? I had VERY similar problems with my P3S after the latest FW update, and DJI had me do a firmware downgrade, which had me in the air again. Both of the above areas were once again flyable after doing the advanced unlock.
Any insight from you veterans?
THanks!
