I'm using the hover app on my android phone and earlier today I got a caution that said "No fly zone"
I was in the City of Sacramento Ca and in the airspace of Sacramento Executive Airport. I should mention that when I pulled into my location there was a Sac PD parked there and I asked them if they were aware of any City ordinances that prevented me from flying a drone there.
The response was " Good question. I'm not aware of any city restrictions but you might want to check with the FAA."
Well I had already planned on doing that and had called the control tower for clearance on a prior flight at the same location. I was told you're fine as long as you stay under 400 feet. Which I intended to do. This time I called and got a recorded message.
So, might this be the reason I was unable to acquire GPS? I mean, what DOES happen when you try to fly in a no fly zone. (Even though I had permission from all of the governing agencies)
For what it's worth, it even said on the app in the airspace warning that it is recommended you do not fly over 400 feet.
