Another close call, this time in the southern hemisphere. On its final approach, a Boeing 737-800 passenger jet collided with a drone over the Tierra Santa religious theme park in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Aerolineas Argentinas jet was flying from Trelew, in northeastern Patagonia and was struck by the drone on the final approach to the Buenos Aires Jorge Newbery Airport, La Capital reports. The incident happened right over the theme park. The Boeing continued to land safely and no injuries were reported, however, the captain notified the tower that a major incident was averted. The drone hit the airplane below the window on the commander\u2019s side of the aircraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cHad it hit the engine, it would have failed the engine,\u201d the pilot said according to the La Capital. He also noted that \u201cthree weeks ago, in the same place, we crossed a drone within five meters,\u201d Newsinflight.com reports. The airplane sustained minor damage according to Aerolineas Argentinas and will remain out of service for inspections. The National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC) and the Civil Aviation Accident Investigation Board (JIAAC) are now investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

According to Article 6 of the ANAC\u2019s Provisional Regulation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles prohibits \u201cthe operation of remotely piloted air vehicles or remotely controlled aerial vehicle systems in controlled airspace, visual corridors, and helicopters\u201d. Only with special authorization from the authorities can a drone be flown in controlled airspace.<\/p>\n
