Narrative:
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.
