[QUOTE="clouseau, post: 26248, member: 4913"] To hone in onto a specific location in order to get a more precise determination of if you can fly there or not, you will need to do the following [URL='https://www.wikihow.com/Overlay-Sectional-Aeronautical-Charts-in-Google-Earth']How to Overlay Sectional Aeronautical Charts in Google Earth[/URL] If where your intending to fly is outside of the surrounding magenta border and you can prove it by overlaying the aeronautical chart on a more precise map, then there is no reason why you cannot fly there unless either DJI's stupid NFZ has you locked out or you are within another airspace that starts from the surface. If you are within Class B airspace listed as 70/40 that is outlined with a solid blue line, the notation of 70 = 7000' MSL is the top level of that airspace and 40 = 4000' MSL which is the bottom level of that airspace. If you are within the this area, but outside of the air bases own restricted area outlined in magenta, then you need to be paying attention to the altitude that is indicated within the blue circle directly around the military base itself. Typically the air space immediately around a military base is going to be much lower than 4000' MSL within 5 miles. So I would say "No" that you must be looking at the wrong thing. One of the only military bases I know of on the Aeronautical map listed as you describe is Belle Chase Naval Air Base, which is located not too far from New Orleans International Airport . The military base itself is surrounded by restricted air space SFC - 400' AGL and surrounding outside of the restricted airspace, the military bases own Class B airspace starts at 2500', while also being within the New Orleans International Class B Airspace 70/40.
