San Francisco - A near-collision of a passenger jet with a remote controlled flying object, the UK air traffic control alarmiert.Wie the "Sunday Times", citing excerpts from an official report reported that the incident occurred on July 22 in 213 feet above the airport London-Heathrow.

The pilot of an Airbus A320, which can carry up to 180 passengers looked on landing an unmanned aircraft that had not appeared on the radar. The British air traffic control lists on the incident as a near-collision, the full report will be published on Friday.
The use of drones and other remote-controlled flying objects has increased significantly in recent years. In the UK, drones are apparently popular Christmas gifts this year. Some drones models are available for the equivalent of 38 euros.

In the US pilots complain more frequently about drones in airspace, reported a few weeks ago, the "Washington Post". According to American air traffic control, there were only from June to November of this year, 25 incidents in the US, where a drone aircraft came dangerously close.

They don't say how far from the airport it happened.  If it was close, it was not a DJI right?  Idiots out there are going to ruin it for everyone.:@

It couldn't have been to far since the airliner was flying at only 213 feet; that places it pretty much near the edge of the airport property I would think; certainly not too far if not.
