Our top story today comes out of the UK’s London Gatwick Airport.
Where details of drone sightings seems to get stranger by the day. It all started on the evening of December 20th--when the runway at London's Gatwick airport was closed due to drone sightings by airport staff members. Police arrested two suspects on the suspicion of disrupting civil aviation-but were later forced to release the two after an investigation found they did not have enough evidence to hold them. Despite numerous reports there is little evidence that a drone caused this... The FAA has posted a notice in the Federal Register soliciting qualified candidates to serve on the Drone Advisory Committee (DAC). The committee provides an open venue for the FAA and stakeholders to identify and recommend consensus-based resolutions for issues related to integration of UAS into the NAS (National Airspace System). The notice explains the responsibilities associated with DAC membership and the desired qualifications for participants. DJI and SkyPixel are kicking off their annual SkyPixel Aerial Photo
& Video Contest. Running through February 18, 2019, the contest is a showcase for the world captured from above, and welcomes submissions from professional photographers, videographers, aerial enthusiasts and content creators around the globe. The 2018 SkyPixel Aerial Photo & Video Contest consists of two storytelling formats, one in photography and the other in video form. There is no restriction on the type or brand of aerial equipment, and participants can submit as many photos or videos as they wish. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of the AMA Drone Report!!!
