A JetBlue pilot reported striking a drone while approaching JFK airport. A helicopter also had a near miss with a drone in the same area. The incidents mark continued drone incursions in controlled airspace around New York.
Drone strikes on commercial aircraft are rare but terrifying in their potential. A large drone hitting a jet engine could cause catastrophic failure. The fact that two separate incidents occurred in the same area suggests either a pattern of drone activity or a pattern of increased detection. Either way, it indicates a real and growing problem in New York airspace.
