Good morning! I recently had a map update on my Phantom 4. When I went to some company property to perform a flight (which I've done repeatedly over the past year or so), I got the warning that I was in restricted airspace. Looking at the VFR map, I saw that I was now in Class E airspace due to being near an uncontrolled airport. This airspace was also around another nearby uncontrolled airport.
To be honest, I don't remember these airspaces being around these two particular airports (I've flown into and out of both with a coworker who owns a plane at one of the airports), used the VFR maps as we flew around. In addition, I've never gotten the airspace restriction when I've been at this particular property.
Is the FAA adding Class E Airspace restrictions to smaller airports? This doesn't really affect my flying, as I'm getting close-up overhead shots, but I just found it interesting.
