Human Factors
In the course of a [mission type X] using a DJI magic Zoom; I got confused with the workflow of Kittyhawk and believed it created a LAANC authorization as part of the mission set up. This was an incorrect assumption and I realized after the flight that the program did not automatically create the LAANC authorization as I expected. In the future; I will always verify and have a valid LAANC authorization code for the location of my flight prior to beginning operation of my drone.
