There was an oncoming drone at OAK on 11/27 (JSX flight 178) that caused us to do a go around once we were stabilized for landing. Passengers could all see it fly about 100 feet underneath us off the right side of the plane. Pilot said that "tower didn't see the traffic so we had to go around" when asked. We flew right over the runway and circled before landing safely after. Crazy.
At least the drone had anti-collision lights on.
Any follow-up? This could be very dangerous.
It sure can be. Helicopters will likely survive but calling for costly rotor repair. Jet engines, not different I guess.
Must have been a pretty big drone to be spotted from the plane.
It had the marker lights on.
Those small drones a surprisingly visible at night. Flew a Mavic 3 pro in pitch black and saw it at a distance clearly greater then in daylight.
This incident must have been in daylight for them to recognize it was a quadcopter.
@@swooshdave Not necessarily. Most quad copters have lights in all 4 arms.

I love how I click on this video and I instantly get an ad about drones
Breezy day at JFK!
1:03 can a pilot actually take actions to deal with all those things that quickly? wind sheer, crosswinds, drone, etc?
yes, that's their job. This is all normal stuff outside of the drone
So codeword for Uap/ufo is now drone
IT is much easier to believe in drones than flying saucers from outer space, but your cred is doubtful now.
If you can identify that it's a quadcopter then it's not unidentified
@@thomasbarron1031 you quite naive...have you not been watching all the worldwide sightings unfold..?
Drones flying illegally at JFK is nothing new, search an article from 2015 "Another drone spotted at Kennedy Airport; 3rd in 3 days"

Russian drone
I call BS….just another pilot creating unnecessary drama…….
@@RR-zq3mk Illegal drone flights near JFK are not uncommon, in 2015 there were 3 in the span of 3 days.
