Superstition Ridgeline Hike, near Phoenix, Arizona. Filmed by drone while hiking the Superstition Ridgeline, including Siphon Draw, Flatiron, summits of both Ironview (Peak 5024) and Superstition Benchmark (Peak 5057).

What I'm using now is currently recommended in the part 107 certification. This is even recommended for commercial drone pilots:

https://b4ufly.aloft.ai/ real time map tracking all NFZ and when needed can request LAANC authorization from the FAA: https://www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/data_exchange/

I invite you to take a look and see the lack of coverage in that area.

I've been to many areas that are blocked from flying and I'm literally unable to take-off (Grand Canyon area, Yosemite, etc.). I was even restricted at the Tonto cliff dwellings a few weeks ago. so I wrongly assumed that this system was one I could rely on wherever I go in the US.

I don't disagree with your point, I know the laws and I agree with what you're saying. I'm just annoyed that with all the time I do put in to doing this properly, I still managed to break federal law....
