> The FAA mandated a lot of it

Source?

I'm a Part 107 pilot, and none of the commercial stuff I fly has those restrictions.

There's an unlock mechanism in the DJI app for those with the appropriate license. There are plenty of restrictions without it.

I’m aware - but that’s a DJI thing, not an FAA requirement.

I dumped DJI when I couldn’t get it to unlock for a job at an airport.

Definitely a DJI thing since the Autel is way, way less restricted. I got annoyed that a few little barely-used airstrips seemed to enforce limitations on the entire county.
