Correct.But notice that this says "temporary" unlock. Meaning us DJI pilots will have to do this "unlock" every time we need to fly in a no fly area.
Doesn't matter what the platform is, the restrictions are still there. Just because your bird isn't geofenced doesn't mean it's legal for you to fly in a no fly zone.Or just don't use an inspire?

Absolutely - I have an upcoming job at the end of October that is on a Royal Air Force military base - actually on the base about 200yds from the runway.
So, I am CAA certified to operate commercially,I have RAF clearance, ATC clearance and a NOTAM all in place but guess what... DJI deem it a NFZ so the Inspire will not take off.
I am lucky as I have other platforms I can use but the above situation is ridiculous. The DJI NFZ's are completely meaningless have no legal merit and are self applied software crutch to pander to the authorities in keeping the brain dead from flying into the path of a 747.
The problem is, the kind of individuals who would take off at the end of a runway are the same individuals who believe that if there ISN'T a NFZ then its safe and legal to fly !

I also submitted my 333 on August 13, still nothing...
Where do you check for your status?
I am looking for my name to show up here: Regulations.gov
maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
Thank you
WOW my name showed up on the review list today, who.
Submitted August 13, Showed up October 30.
what's now?
First of all, I'm happy to see that this section has been established in this Forum, as I agree with @lake_flyer and others who supported this request that it's important to have an area germane to the commercial/professional UAV operator and that issues that arise in the establishment/approval and conduct of commercial operations have a home for discussion here. Kudos to all and especially the editors.
Now, to my specific question: I've submitted my 333 exemption request last Thu, Aug 13 and have received acknowledgement on Regulations.gov of receipt, but when I search for for it, I get a message that says "This comment was received in Regulations.gov but is not yet posted." I assume that it takes a few days for the FAA to review the request. Can those of you that have recently submitted tell me how long it took for your request between submission and posting?
