So GoPro has the following rules to prevent flights near airports:
I've yet to discover what the fraction of maximum speed actually is. I'm hoping it's more like 80-90% of maximum speed and not something less. It seems really short sighted and potentially dangerous to limit speed at all in the orange zone. If you need to take evasive actions because you see a plane or helicopter approaching your drone, you need to move as fast as possible. If they were trying to prevent people from flying out of control in that zone, it should be automatically stopped from crossing into a Red zone by the software, so I don't see the point.

- Restricted (Red) NFZ from 0 - 1.5 miles
- Buffer Zone (Orange) NFZ from 1.5 - 5 miles
