Yesterday for the first time in nearly two weeks the sky in the desert above Los Angeles cleared enough to see blue. I thought I would try to get a look at a fire that was still raging to the south and I checked to see that I was clear of any TFR on my aviation APP "Foreflight" . DJI was not allowing me to fly the Air 2 without authorization but did send me a number to enter. It came back with a message to try later. Since I knew that I was clear of the TFR and I was only going to fly fifty feet over my house I figured I'd give it a try with the Mavic Air 1. I was able to quickly get authorization with the DJI Go 4 app. I've been able to fly the 1 twice since, once last night, and then again this morning without any further message for authorization?? The blue dot is my location.

It's been a tough year all around :confused: Naturally I wouldn't fly, clearance or not, if I could cause any type of interference. I'm many miles away from the fire.
