Drones Flying Too Close To JFK Flight Paths

Three pilots have reported unmanned drones flying too close to their jetliners as they approached Kennedy Airport this week, NBC 4 New York has learned. On Wednesday afternoon, the pilot of JetBlue flight 842 from Savannah, Georgia, reported a drone flying at about 400 feet as the plane was on approach crossing from Nassau County into New York City, according to federal officials. Air traffic control recordings captured the pilot’s concern. "About two miles out on the final, maybe 4 to 300 feet, looks like one of those unmanned drones is flying right on the final," the pilot told air traffic control.
