Drones - An everincreasing danger - Curt Lewis


New FAA Report Reveals Hundreds Of Drone Incidents Near US Airports


The Federal Aviation Administration released its latest Reported UAS Sightings report, revealing that unmanned aircraft systems, or more popularly known as drones, are becoming a bigger problem. 


 The report, which covers the period of August 2015 to January this year, detailed 582 incidents wherein drones entered airspace they should not be flying in. 


The incidents were reported by pilots, air traffic controllers and citizens, with such events said to be increasing dramatically since 2014. According to the FAA, it is now receiving 100 such cases per month, despite the measures that it has in place to educate drone operators. 


The FAA said that one of its top priorities is the integration of drones into the national airspace system, and it is looking to send a clear message to drone operators that flying the machines near airplanes, helicopters and airports is both illegal and dangerous.
