FAA Releases Pilot UAS Reports

The following press release was published by the Federal Aviation Administration on Aug. 21, 2015. It is reproduced in full below.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a new list of pilot, air traffic and citizen reports of possible encounters with unmanned aircraft (UAS). The reports cover Nov. 13, 2014 through Aug. 20, 2015.

Because pilot reports of unmanned aircraft have increased dramatically over the past year, the FAA wants to send a clear message that operating drones around airplanes and helicopters is dangerous and illegal. Unauthorized operators may be subject to stiff fines and criminal charges, including possible jail time.
