Putnički avion kompanije "Džet Blu" sudario se sa dronom: Drama na aerodromu Džon F. Kenedi u Njujorku

Avion kompanije "Džet Blu" sudario se sa dronom prilikom sletanja na aerodrom Džon F. Kenedi u Njujorku.

Avion, koji je poleteo iz Las Vegasa, udario je u dron na visini od oko 3.000 stopa (oko 915 metara) dok se približavao Njujorku, saopštila je Federalna uprava za vazduhoplovstvo SAD (FAA).

"Sudarili smo se sa dronom tamo pozadi u zaokretu dok smo prilazili tački ASALT, samo sam hteo da vas obavestim", rekao je pilot u razgovoru sa kontrolom letenja, preneo je Daily Mail.

Dron je udario avion u predelu pilotske kabine, ali je pilot rekao da im nije potrebna pomoć i da mogu bezbedno da nastave sletanje.

Federalna uprava za vazduhoplovstvo saopštila je da pregled letelice nakon sletanja nije pokazao nikakva oštećenja, dodajući da će sprovesti istragu o ovom incidentu.

Predstavnik kompanije "Džet Blu" izjavio je da je avion normalno sleteo i da su svi putnici bezbedno napustili letelicu.

"Let je završen bez ikakvih problema, putnici su se iskrcali uobičajenim putem, a avion je povučen iz saobraćaja radi detaljnog pregleda nakon leta, koji nije pokazao nikakva oštećenja niti dokaze o sudaru", rekao je portparol kompanije.

"Bezbednost je apsolutni prioritet kompanije i sarađivaćemo u svim relevantnim istragama".

Ovaj incident dogodio se gotovo dva meseca nakon što je regionalni let kompanije "Delta Air Lines" prijavio da se jedan manji avion previše približio njihovoj letelici tokom prilaza prometnom njujorškom aerodromu.

Kontrolor leta tada je upozorio pilota aviona kompanije "Endeavor Air", koji je obavljao let za "Delta Air Lines", da se mali privatni avion nalazi na oko 500 stopa (oko 150 metara) iznad njihove letelice.

JetBlue plane collides with drone while landing at New York's JFK airport

A JetBlue Airways pilot struck a drone while landing at John F Kennedy airport this morning.

The plane, which departed from Las Vegas, hit the drone at about 3,000ft as it arrived in New York City, according to the FAA.

'We collided with a drone back there in the turn as we were coming to ASALT [a navigation reference point], just wanted to pass to you,' the pilot said in air traffic controller audio obtained by WABC.

The drone struck the plane right about the cockpit, but the pilot said they did not need help and could continue with the landing.

A post-flight inspection did not reveal any damage to the aircraft, the FAA said, adding that it will investigate the matter.

A representative for JetBlue told the Daily Mail the plane landed normally and all passengers disembarked safely.

'The flight landed without incident, customers deplaned normally, and the plane was removed from service for a post-flight inspection, which found no damage or evidence of a collision,' the spokesman said.

'Safety is JetBlue's first priority, and we will assist with any relevant investigations.'

It comes almost two months after a regional Delta Air Lines flight reported a small plane getting too close to the aircraft as it approached the busy NYC airport.

The air traffic controller warned the Delta pilot, who was flying the Endeavor Air jet, of a small person plane that was about 500 feet above them, according to WABC.
