Map Shows The Chaos That Ensues When You Fly A Drone Too Close To An Airport
A new data visualisation has shown the scale of the disruption caused when a drone gets too close to a major airport. Footage generated from flight path data shows planes struggling to land at Gatwick on July 2 this year, when air traffic controllers stopped all take-offs and landings because of a drone sighting.

One of these days that drone will cause crash and drone worldwide will be banned thanks to some hardheaded assholes.
There was no drone. There hasn’t been one single piece of evidence proving there was a drone. Your video is incorrect on that matter and should be adjusted as such. This only further serves to damage a hobby that has proven time and again that is not only safe, but that claims like this are simply false. Then to top it off these falsehoods are used against law abiding citizens to harrass and ruin thier lives. Until there is ANY proof there was a drone, then there are only unproven allegations, and they should be addressed as such. It is extremely important to get facts correct when making content such as this.
Otherwise this was an extremely interesting view on delays and diversions caused by an airport closure.
Shoot the damn thing down
Best informative animatuon about drone case!
We only need to be able to shoot drones out of the sky if they enter sensitive areas such as the approach path of an airport or a restricted area… Or simply put an ADS-B Trans receiver and only let them fly in uncontrolled areas G airspace. And it they want/need to enter a controlled airspace then stablish two way radio contact as any other aircraft… Can’t see any other reaoanable or effective solution. You’re putting pilots in danger if you fly near an airport maybe an airliner may be less affected by a drone than a small plane… And yes just like a bird can bring down any plane a drone can too
This is why massive parts of Seoul and citys around it (including 9.3km-radius regions around airports) are banned from flying drones.
Cough* Gatwick
I think people who do this are doing it exactly because they know it will cause trouble. It’s the same kind of people that shoot laser into a plane’s cockpit. This people are troublemakers.
It was possibly just a police drone.
I have an idea, why dont they buy like a cheap DJI and fly it towards the drone to scare it off or crash in to it?
So what happens if a pilot lands after disobeying a not to land order?
the terrorists could cripple a country with a bunch 40 dollar ebay drones.. but I doubt a drone would drop a plane on final approach…
I hope that they were caught and thrown into prison. Man, the lives endangered just to get a cool photo of aircraft is not worth it. Stupid drone pilots.
So here’s the tii g: was there a drone to start out? Seems like the police are now saying, there may not have been one to start out!!!
What about the poor guy arrested for having a RV helicopter accused of having this drone?!
If there was no drone, who pays?
So Air traffic control is this fragile? That seems like more of a concern.
Bullshit.
I saw a post on reddit of a guy claimint to be the one who took the pictures…he got a lot of hate and people threatening to dox him. hope he goes to jail.
stop the hate all i wanted to do was get some pictures
We now have drone electronics to take them out of the air. As soon as it is recovered by authorities an arrest should ensue. More important is to educate every drone purchaser that flying no zones will get you jailed and fined when they buy the drone. Every time you see a video of someone flying higher or farther than legal, alert authorities to have them arrested or fined or both.
But I’m not a drone *pilot*, atleast that’s what an airplane pilot told me on YouTube a few weeks ago. Apparently considering drone operators pilots is disrespectful to "real" pilots.
I’m calling the time police
This just in!!! Goose spotted over runway!! "How will we ever survive?"
Well, it happens again and my fuckin flight was cancelled outta Gatwick
Yea sure its a drone a fuckin military git didpatched to bring one damn drone down and had to shut down the whole airport yea totally.
Governments worldwide need to get ahead of this now, manufacturers should be required to install transponders on drones, and severe jail time and penalties should be mandated. People will die in the future if this is not addressed … wasting fuel is one thing, but killing 300 people is another matter. This is a perfect example of a justified regulation to protect third parties who were not part of a transaction (drone manufacturer and drone operator).
They should buy the anti drone, the drone that catches a suspicious drone
Can someone explain to me about what’s going with these fake news corporate conspiracy theory stuff in the comment sections?
yea what ever you do dont disturb the 2% people that travel and destroy the environment.
lmao it happened again
I am not getting ….why dint they just destroy the drone 😕
People that put drones into controlled airspaces don’t care about the consequences. Don’t waste your breath
Why couldn’t they get some typhoons to use that drone as missile practise
Idiots… They should have to do a SOLID YEAR of forced community jobs, cleaning public lavs, mowing, picking up rubbish and if they don’t meet quotas given in a year makem start again….
How do they detect these drones?
1 drone
If you fly a drone you are NOT a pilot.
there are ways to take down a drone and probably laws allowing it. (not shooting)
What music track is this?
It was a UFO.
Looks like big cats are afraid of domestic cats.
I thought I click on a VASaviation video lol
just get the drone to be absolutely crushed
Jevil: Chaos you say….
Proceeds to buy and fly 100 drones to airports across the WORLD
It WASN’T Ally Law.
One droney boi
This aged quite well
Does no one in the comment section realize that unconfirmed drones have a risk of carrying explosives?
Or that it could mean there are unknown activities nearby that could be malicious?
It is a security risk to everyone in the airport and planes in nearby vicinity.
Remember that a disaster could outright cripple the schedule for weeks to months of scheduled flights. Compared to a few hours of delays, it is much better.
It is not overreaction. It is reasonable preventive measures that could save lives. Such protocols must exists so that disasters on the scale of 911 does not happen again.
See, in the USA we just shoot down the drone with our legal weapon
the airport should have to pay for all that wasted jet fuel
Meanwhile Casey Neistat is flying a drone inside a plane
