Pilots can't spot drones 70 per cent of the time - shock experiment reveals
Pilots can't spot drones as they approach a runway, warns a shock new study. They fail to catch sight of the flying gadgets 70 per cent of the time - even when they are in their airspace, according to the findings. And they almost never identify the machines if they are hovering motionless above the ground. The disturbing findings uncover a'real and present danger' to safety, warn US aviation experts. Study co author Dr Ryan Wallace, of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the United States, said: 'Dangerous close encounters between aircraft and drones are becoming an increasingly common problem.
'Jihadi' Wi-Fi hotspot grounds Thomson airways flight bound for London Gatwick
A Thomson flight this week was grounded because of concerns over a Wi-Fi hotspot named "Jihadi London". The aircraft, which was due to fly from Cancun to London Gatwick on Tuesday afternoon, had to be evacuated after a passenger spotted the network and reported it to the crew. Security and police were then called on board to check the plane, and the flight was eventually rescheduled. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
