Ordered but don't yet have my Typhoon H. I live 1/4 mile from a Naval Air Station (NAS) and work on another - I'm an ATC Systems Engineer (I mention this as I know most of the ATC folks there, and they have NO problems at all with my flying a camera copter at low altitude nearby - I even fly small NFZ-unaware quads (JJRC686 and Hubsan 501S) AT the station where I work, when the field is *closed*. Accordingly, I consider any database that does not include field operating hours to be trash; pilots have to know when a field is available to them, the drone's firmware should know WHEN an area is (un)available to IT).
One of the things I specifically purchased the Typhoon to do was to obtain aerial pictures of a couple buildings owned by a local non-profit for inclusion on their organizational web page. The pictures can be taken from about 75-100' - I don't need to go high. No payments involved - this is volunteer stuff, not commercial. The buildings are both well within 3 miles, let alone 4 or 5, of the NAS. I also want to inspect my roof (and similarly assist neighbors - again, no-cost) after heavy winds, etc. Assuming that the firmware won't let me fly, how do I override this behavior on a Typhoon H? I saw the no-NFZ firmware for the Q500. What of the H?
As a pilot and as a consumer, I have no problems with the drone telling me I'm inside the 5mile boundary of Airfield XYZ, but the fly/no-fly decision, as with manned vehicle pilots, belongs TO THE PILOT.
