Lufthansa reports near miss with drone over Los Angeles
The pilot of a Lufthansa passenger jumbo jet reported a drone aircraft nearly
collided with the airliner on Friday on its landing approach to Los Angeles
International Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The close encounter between the wide-body, four-engine Airbus A380 and the
drone occurred at about 1:30 p.m. at an altitude of 5,000 feet (152 meters)
as the unmanned aircraft passed about 200 feet (61 meters) over the Lufthansa
flight 14 miles (22.5 km) east of the airport, the FAA said.
No evasive action was taken by the airline crew, and the plane, Lufthansa
Flight 456, safely made its landing minutes later without further incident,
according to FAA spokesman Ian Gregor.
The FAA immediately alerted the Los Angeles Police Department's air support
division.
The number of passengers and crew aboard the plane was not reported by
authorities, nor was the flight's origin.
U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, who has introduced legislation
to require new safety features on drones, pointed to the close call as an
example of the hazards posed to commercial aviation by unregulated drone
activity.
