Narrative:
Conducted a 4 minute flight for a roof inspection. I misinterpreted uas facility map data and conducted flight in class B airspace of iad. Violation was discovered during monthly flight reviews by my company's drone department. I thought the number listed in the facility map grid box indicated the floor of the overlying controlled airspace. I know better now.
