Human Factors
Small UAS (DJI Mavic 2 Pro) was flown in a residential neighborhood at approximately 40 ft AGL as part of a family function. The flight was a non-commercial operation (Part 91) but by a Part 107 licensed RPIC at the controls and with a craft registered under Part 107. The following day; upon further review of the local airspace; I realized that the flight had been conducted within MHR's Class D airspace. At no point during flight was any air traffic visible. I have now submitted a DroneZone airspace authorization request to perform such flights in the future and will wait to fly in this area again until I have such an authorization granted.
UAV operator reported unknowingly entering class D airspace.
