Here we go again, only this time it's a US East Coast airport:
Pilot reported a drone within 30 feet of the aircraft. FAA statement:
"At approximately 5pm, we received two reports from incoming flights into Newark that a drone was sighted at about 3,500ft above Teterboro, New Jersey. At that point, flights arriving into Newark were held for a short duration. Since then, and with no further drone sightings, arrivals have been resumed. However, we still have a ground stop in place at other airports departing for Newark until a backlog of arrivals can be cleared. We expect that to be lifted soon".
"Drones have become a considerable menace for the aviation industry".
