Just over a week ago, DJI announced updates to its geofencing system which apply to its consumer and enterprise drones in the US. These changes affect the commonly used DJI Fly App that is available as an app for both iOS and Android smartphones as well as being built into DJI dedicated controllers.
With this update, DJI’s Fly flight app operators will see prior DJI geofencing information replaced to display official Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data. Areas previously defined as Restricted Zones or No-Fly Zones) will be displayed as Enhanced Warning Zones. In these zones, in-app alerts will notify operators flying near FAA designated controlled airspace. This effectively places control back in the hands of the drone operators.
The update has been in place in the UK and several; EU countries for just over a year now, and others are soon to follow suit.
As far as I can tell, Australia is not as yet affected, but I assume at some point it will also apply here. I have put out some feelers to see where we are at currently.
