The drones among us: Reports of drone-related incidents are going up and up and up

According to an aviation incident report, the RCMP found the drone operator was in the right thanks to a flight certificate, as well as video footage to back up the claim that the flying machine hadn’t crossed over the shooter’s property line. The drone didn’t fly again that day.

It might sound like a crazy one-off, but something similar was reported in Oshawa, Ont. just a couple of months later. On Aug. 14, a real estate photo shoot went wrong, according to an incident report with the Civil Aviation Daily Occurrence Reporting System (CADORS).

A neighbour reportedly shot at a commercial photographer’s drone three times as it flew over a property north of the Oshawa airport (although no one was injured).



Drone-related conflicts are on the rise, shows a National Post analysis of CADORS data.
