There has been yet another drone incident at Gatwick
Airport , possibly the most serious
yet... which goes without saying because the others were faked of course. See
background links below. The air safety organization Airprox reported that on
Wednesday an A320 airliner was on its final approach to land at Gatwick's
single runway when it had to take an emergency course correction to avoid
colliding with a drone. This happened at 1,700 feet, above the 400 foot limit
for private drone operators. It was also in controlled airspace. The flight and
operator have not been named and many carriers fly A320's out of Gatwick
including British Airways and EasyJet. This aircraft can carry up to 186
passengers. Airprox classified this incident as a "near-miss", the
second highest level of seriousness after an actual collision. This is apparently
the latest in a run of three reported drone incidents at Gatwick since the big
scandal in late 2018 that I reported on in detail below. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-49494817
(Thanks to my Facebook friend Jemma for finding this for me). This time there
was no major disruption to the airport and only the flight involved was affected.
This leads me to believe this was not a contrived drone threat to cover up a
major systems breakdown for which the aviation industry would be liable. It is
therefore probably a real drone. Alternatively it could be a UFO. As I said in
the background links, the way UFO's are being reported has changed considerably
in the last few years. I doubt if the word "drone" is code for a UFO
in the same way "UAP" or "fastwalker" is. It might simply
be a useful diversion to "prevent public panic" etc.
