Drone Flies Close to Plane at Winnipeg Airport
Authorities in Winnipeg are investigating a close encounter between a passenger plane and a drone that police say was bigger and higher up than unmanned air vehicles normally fly.
Constable Rob Carver says the turboprop plane was preparing to land Saturday afternoon at James Richardson International Airport, when at about 900 metres, the pilot reported seeing a metre-wide drone.
It came within 25 metres of the plane, which was able to land safely.
Nav Canada believes the drone originated in the vicinity of the University of Manitoba campus, but nothing was found.
