Narrative:

Preflighted the area that day; looking for active tfrs or controlled airspace. The area I wanted to fly at looked clear of slc or any tfrs. I went to fly low level over a pond at memory grove park; ut (2-10agl). I took off; hovering at 6 ft AGL; and my phone provided an alert I may be close to a caution area (dji app notification). I was 5 miles east of slc; I opened my phone to pull up the slc VFR tac; and noticed I was closer than expected to the border of the slc class B shelf. I immediately landed the aircraft from the 10 ft AGL altitude. The duration of the flight was around 1 minute. From now on; I'll always use the GPS in garmin pilot in correlation with the VFR sectional; VFR tac; and continue checking for active tfrs before I fly at the exact location. As small drone operating systems are becoming more complex and user friendly; I'd be good for them to incorporate the VFR sectionals and tac into the operating system to make pilots fully aware of their location in relation to airspace around them.

Title: A DJI Phantom UAS pilot launched after checking diligently for TFR and controlled airspace. However; after takeoff his DJI phone app alerted his aircraft proximity to SLC Class B. The UAS flight was aborted.

Narrative: Preflighted the area that day; looking for active TFRs or controlled airspace. The area I wanted to fly at looked clear of SLC or any TFRs. I went to fly low level over a pond at Memory Grove Park; UT (2-10AGL). I took off; hovering at 6 ft AGL; and my phone provided an alert I may be close to a caution area (DJI APP Notification).
