[QUOTE="RotorWash, post: 109082, member: 18210"] A read through the linked article will explain it better but basically regulation states the technical requirement for the RID system to have gps coordinates for UAV position before allowing takeoff. If you own a SRID craft and your are inside without GPS then the system may prevent takeoff as it cannot ascertain the UAS position. If you have a LRID craft then only your control station would need the GPS coords but chances are if your inside your phone won't have a GPS signal either. Even if you started the drone outside then went inside, once the coords are lost the system will most likely detect it as a failure and want you to land as soon as "practicable". This "effect" was not intended by the FAA but with the current wording in the NPRM it could be the effect it has regardless. [/QUOTE]
