    Maximum Height and Radius Limits Users can change the maximum height and radius limits in DJI MG2. Once completed, the aircraft flight is restricted to a cylindrical area that is determined by these settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.
  • Page 45 If the aircraft loses GNSS signal and flies out of the max radius but regains GNSS signal later, it will fly back within range automatically. GEO Zones GEO Zones are divided into different categories. All GEO Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe. GEO Zones are explained below (GNSS required): Depending on the local regulation, a certain radius around a marker forms a Restricted Zone, inside of which takeoff and flight are prohibited.
