Human Factors
I was performing an inspection of a property and flew my drone without checking the airspace. Management discovered the incursion during monthly flight reviews; we discussed that we must check airspace before every flight.
Reporter indicated they saw another UAS pilot flying which made them believe it was okay to fly at the location. After further review reporter learned the depicted airspace has Class E airspace which starts at the surface.
Part 107 pilot reported they were informed that they flew into controlled airspace and had not checked airspace before the flight.
