European Aviation Safety Agency: The incidence of drone disturbances has declined comprehensively

[Global Network UAV reporter Zhao Khanqing] A few years ago, there were many "drones disturbances" incident in Europe, but according to foreign drone information website DroneDJ September 5 news, the European Aviation Administration (EASAA ) The latest annual safety review report showed that the incidence of accidents and accidents related to drones has declined.

According to reports, the Safety Report of the European Aviation Safety Agency in 2021 shows that the situation of aircraft and flight activities has generally improved, and the situation related to drones has also improved significantly. Statistics since 2018 show that the total number of accidents and serious incidents involving drones has fallen from 2 in 2019 and 1 in 2020 to zero last year.

The report states that the drone incident refers to an accident and severe incident that involves at least one drone and a collision or almost collision with the drone.

The report believes that the reason why the drone incident is reduced is largely due to the increasingly perfect target detection and avoidance of sensors on the aircraft, as well as more mature flight technology and more experience in the European Union. In addition, the release of "drone operation rules" applied to Europe in 2019 and the decrease in aviation passenger transportation caused by the new crown epidemic may also play a role.

The report mentioned that because the drone is becoming more and more easy to use, the possibility of collision with other aircraft collision with other aircraft is a worrying security issue. The data will increase when drone operators submit accidents and incident reports regularly like aircraft pilots and air management personnel.
