I've had the Typhoon H+ since new but due to work commitments i've not had much time to fly it until now.
I live just in the NFZ of Manchester Airport UK, so whenever you try and arm the drone in Auto, as you would expect it makes a noise and looking at the history it says:
"NOT ARMING: switch to a pilot flight mode first".
If you try and change the toggle switch to Sport, Angle or Home it says:
"Switch to this mode is currently not possible"
Also in the menu if to try to switch to smart mode you get:
"the Drone is within the restricted safety area, Smart mode cannot be enabled"
That's all OK in my back garden in the NFZ, so when I take it to a local flying site just out of the NFZ (legally used for model aircraft so I know its safe) it still does the same, so I fly in manual.
After reading about the possible 8km NFZ radius imposed around a major airport by Yuneec I can see the drone thinking its still in a NFZ at the model aircraft flying site.
However, this weekend I took the drone 23 km away from the airport and it still does not arm in Auto. Same massages on the screen. Airmap shows i'm well away from any areas that may be an issue.
Today I took it to work which is in the opposite direction from Manchester Airport, again I was well away from any areas which I would think creates an issue and the same thing happened.
I've updated the firmware on the drone and ST16 to the latest stable.
Had 14 plus GPS fixes on both the ST16 and drone.
So i'm at a loss as to how to fix this other than removing the geofence which I cannot do because I haven't completed a professional GVC or A2 course.
Any ideas welcome
Thanks
John
