![]() ![]() ![]() I also note that small drones are a vicious competitor to news helicopter operations. It would not surprise me if the drone in this collision was operated by LAPD in an effort to see how much they could use it in nighttime surveillance, hence the inability to find evidence. The major drone makers are adding ADS-B IN to provide automated avoidance, but since the FAA is happy to allow mid-air collisions between full size passenger carrying aircraft by failing to mandate even a rudimentary anti-collision technology, it isn't clear they are will to do anything except legislate against other operators. Missing from the report was any mention of ADS-B OUT in use by the operators of the accident aircraft. I agree who ever was flying the drone was above where they should be, but night lighting isn't going to make one stand out on the backdrop of LA. So far, general aviation kills people in large enough numbers hobby drones have not.
