Study: Small Drone Flights Often Unsafe
Operators Fly Too High, Close To Airports

A significant number of all recreational drone flights sampled were conducted in ways that posed a hazard to navigation, according to a new study released this week by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University researchers and published in the International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace. The study used data collected between May 17 and May 29, 2018, that used an AeroScope deployed on an educational building adjacent to the Daytona Beach (Florida) International Airport (DAB).
