  • Collision suspected between a Porter plane and a drone in Toronto

    Hi,

    I've been reading this forum for quite a while, now I decided to post something for the first time.

    Here goes:

    Le Bureau de la sécurité des transports (BST) du Canada a déployé deux enquêteurs à l'aéroport Billy Bishop de Toronto, après une collision évitée de justesse entre un objet volant et un appareil de la compagnie Porter qui allait se poser à l'aérodrome du centre-ville.


    Here is the traduction:

    "Collision suspected between a Porter plane and a drone in Toronto


    The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) deployed two investigators at Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto after a suspected collision between a drone and a Porter aircraft that was to land at the downtown aerodrome.


    The events took place around 7:30 am on Monday morning.


    The flight was from Ottawa.


    The aircraft was then nearly 2.75 km in the air and just over 55 km from the island airport.


    The TSB indicated that the pilot had made an escape maneuver to avoid a full-blown collision.


    Two flight attendants were injured, but no passengers were injured.


    Investigators must interview crew members to learn more. The affected aircraft remained on the ground at Billy Bishop Airport."



    Can a drone get that High? That's a mile and a half up...

    According to avherald, there was no collision, flight attendants injured during evasive maneuvers. Object initially believed to be a balloon, subsequently discussed and potentially could have been a drone (dark object 5-8 feet in diameter, at 9000 feet - so certainly not a typical small hobbyist drone at any rate)
