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.
