Most are airports and military bases; flying there needs an authorization and a DJI unlock. - 🟦 **Regulatory restricted** — Flight is prohibited by local regulation, for example around airports in Japan. - 🟧 **Enhanced warning** — The drone asks you to confirm before flying in. Often smaller airfields and approach paths. - 🟨 **Warning** — A warning only, for example heliports and small airfields. Flight is not blocked, but local rules still apply. - 🟩 **Recommended** — Places recommended for drone flying, often run by a local operator. ## Flying inside a zone A restricted zone does not always mean flying is forbidden: often you can fly with an authorization from the aviation authority, and each country page lists the official steps. On a DJI drone, once you have the authorization, request an unlock on [DJI FlySafe](https://fly-safe.dji.com/unlock/unlock-request); the [DJI GEO zone map](https://fly-safe.dji.com/nfz/nfz-query) shows the zones DJI applies. *Zone counts: DJI FlySafe GEO database, snapshot of February 3, 2026. It is a safety guide, not the official airspace: each national authority publishes the binding zones.* ## No-fly zones and weather in one app Drone Weather Forecast shows no-fly zones on a map, plus the hourly wind, gusts, rain, KP index and satellites for your drone model.
