[QUOTE="Wsteele, post: 88796, member: 3983"] I think that your note assumes that all NFZ's are considered equally.. As stated in earlier posts that depending on the classification, some NFZ's issue a fly safe warning but allow you to continue to fly. Some NFZs can be unlocked and allow you to fly, but this is not a process you can undertake while your drone is in the air. And of course, the approaches to major airports forbid flying period. You can't take off in them and if you try to enter them while airborne, the software forces the drone to immediately land. If you precheck the areas you intend to near/in the requirements are pretty clear. Some drone operators seem to either intentionally or ignorantly operate near or at the edge of the performance envelope and then expect DJI to save them. To protect themselves and our hobby from both perspective and actual dangers, DJI rightly will sacrifice the drone rather than airspace violations. I think the performance parameters are relatively clear. I think it was very poor pre-mission planning to be operating near or testing these boundaries while simultaneously flying over water. I'm sorry for the OPs loss but hopefully, the rest of us will learn from his experience and do better flight planning. [/QUOTE]
