, drones are now a hot topic of discussion—and consumer models flying over areas where they shouldn't is an ongoing theme.
). Instead of directly preventing drones from flying over restricted areas like airports, power plants and areas of national security, operators of DJI drones will instead receive a dismissible warning that the area they're flying into is an "Enhanced Warning Zone."
"In these zones, in-app alerts will notify operators flying near FAA designated controlled airspace, placing control back in the hands of the drone operators, in line with regulatory principles of the operator bearing final responsibility" says DJI.

, in which the company claims that the reasoning behind these changes is not political:
"Politicizing safety serves no one. We encourage discussions and comments to remain focused on technological facts and evidence."
"DJI remains committed to promoting safe and responsible flight practices and will continue its community education efforts, reminding pilots to always ensure their flights are conducted safely and in accordance with all local laws and regulations."
