Narrative:
I may have flown within a five mile radius of phx while using a drone to look at damage to a friend's roof. I made certain; before flying; that the flight was not going to enter class B airspace (and it did not come near class B airspace). It wasn't until after the flight that I realized I may have flown; close to; or even within; the five mile radius of an airport with an operating control tower. The maximum altitude reached was 60 ft AGL.
