FAA Authorization and DJI Geofencing are Two Different Things
More Drone Access to Controlled Airspace
Starting today (May 23, 2019) more than 100 additional control towers and airports will be added to LAANC.
The LAANC capability is increasing access for drone pilots into controlled airspace by expanding to 100+ federal contract towers, which means operators can access LAANC at nearly 600 airports! Check the list of airports covered by LAANC at https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=93789
Unlocking DJI No-fly Zones
DJI has a database that fences off areas where you may need authorization to fly and prevents their products from flying there altogether. This may seem like a nuisance, but it can actually protect you from flying into controlled airspace unknowingly at low altitudes, and in most cases, it’s fairly easy to unlock.
