News and Updates – FAA Releases Pilot UAS Reports

[shipdriver]

I skimmed the first 40 records of the FAA's latest list 646 of pilot, air traffic and citizen reports of possible encounters with unmanned aircraft (UAS).

I'm not sure about the first few paragraphs, but you should look at more than just the first 40 because you missed some of the best ones like the flying dog, as well as a flying wing event near KSTS which took up 3 different reports. As an aside, there was only one report in the listing relating to CalFire (from June 25). Why were the rest not reported?

Well I read through all 650 of the reports. My pontificating is the first 14 minutes, the remainder is readings and reactions to actual reports from the FAA listing. Here is my video take on it:

Let me just say that I thought you made a great video. Very informative and really good observations.
