Drone flies within feet of arriving aircraft at McCarran
A video taken at an unknown time from a drone hovering over Las Vegas as a jet approaches and then passes underneath. The FAA said Friday it's "aware of the incident and is investigating" but declined further comment. (www.lasvegasnow.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The problem is that he won't get a damn thing done to him. The FAA will say they can't prove it was him that did it and send him a letter. It's morons like this guy that make it harder on 95% of the Part 107 operators who follow the rules and regulations. There needs to be an example made of one of these to discourage(not that it will do much) others from doing the same.
I agree anthony...maybe if they got slapped with a $3000 fine, might discourage them a bit more..that and take away their drone (some are not cheap) and not allow them to own/operate another
Actually, the feds ARE looking for this culprit, and if they find him, something will be done. Federal penalties can be much, much higher than just a $3000 fine, up to $250,000 and time in jail. Want a deterrent? It's already there.
reckless, irresponsible. Some people just take chances without regard to common sense.
tick, tick-tick, tick-tick, At the very least one of these clowns are going to destroy a very expensive turbo fan someday. Let's all hope that is all the damage it will incur.
