"RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) --
Reports from the Federal Aviation Administration show an alarming rise of drone sightings from pilots of both airplanes and helicopters, who fear an imminent danger of future collisions.
An ABC11 I-Team investigation reviewed 1,699 such reports filed by pilots across the country, including 38 in North Carolina airspace. The mid-air sightings vary in altitude, but all are well above what's legal for drones, which are generally limited to flying under 400 feet."
David Reid, a commercial pilot with more than 30 years experience, told the I-Team his own near-miss with a drone was "not the adrenaline I was looking for."
