NEW YORK (CNA/Reuters) - An airliner reported striking a drone while approaching New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) today, and just hours later, a helicopter pilot issued a warning after narrowly avoiding a collision with a remote-controlled aircraft near the same airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating the incident, which marks a first. The event occurred this morning as a JetBlue airliner was flying over the coastline and climbing to an altitude of approximately 914 meters. The flight subsequently landed safely in New York without requiring any additional assistance, and post-flight inspections revealed no damage. According to the air traffic control communication website ATC.com, the pilot informed air traffic controllers, "We hit a drone on the turn, right above the cockpit." JetBlue stated that all passengers disembarked normally, and the aircraft was subsequently taken out of service for inspection. JetBlue noted, "No damage or signs of impact were found." The Airbus A321 aircraft was on a night flight from Las Vegas to New York. The FAA announced tonight that it had notified local authorities of the near-collision incident involving a helicopter and a remote-controlled aircraft. Generally, drones are permitted to fly below an altitude of 122 meters, but the FAA imposes restrictions on airspace around airports and public events like the World Cup to ensure safety. Law enforcement officials pointed out that even if a drone operator is merely attempting aerial photography, their presence can distract law enforcement, making it difficult to focus on other potential threats.
