Airports in the United States are reporting increased numbers of drone encounters within the 5 mile Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) restricted airspace designated around all airports. A drone flying close to the runway can pose a serious danger to any aircraft and it’s passengers during takeoff and landing. As more drones take to the skies, airports can expect an increase of close encounters to continue.
