Part 107 UAS pilot reported flying in controlled airspace without authorization. Reporter stated overreliance on UAS geofencing software was a contributing factor.

Narrative

On Day 0 a mission was held from the times of XA:55 - XB:05 local time 1.2 miles from ZZZ without proper authorization. RPIC completed mission in capturing real estate photography while maintaining VLOS and utilizing flight radar to monitor air traffic to keep safe distance. As the mission ended; local authorities came to the mission location to inform the RPIC that the zone sector was a 0' hard ceiling. RPIC's team previously utilized our drones Geomap services to check airspace control. The RPIC was informed that the drone manufacturer removed their geofencing on both the geomap and drones which was unknown to the RPIC at that time. After a brief discussion with the authorities about the situation and evidence noted; authorities gave RPIC various service names to utilize as our drone was no longer credible as well as things to keep in mind in the future. Services include Aloft.io; Air Data and Autopylot. RPIC and team immediately discontinued the use of the drones geo services and opted to continue with Autopylot.This situation occurred because the RPIC and team relied too heavily on the DJI geo services and did not refresh on the regulation regarding missions near airports despite not operating near airports for years. Corrective actions taken include the immediate discontinuation of using that drones Geo services and switching to an FAA-partnered service as well as rereading FAA regulations in regards to drone operation in general as well as operation around airports.
