An army black hawk helicopter was struck by a drone at approximately 500 feet over a residential neighborhood on Staten Island. The helicopter, based out of Fort Bragg, N.C., was in New York City for the United Nation patrol.

A 600 billion dollar budget and these fricking whirlybirds don't have drone lasers?

Are they going to give me $599 to reimburse the destruction of my property? Need to watch where they are going next time.

I know a few guys at my old job that got licensed to fly drones for survey purposes, and there is a ceiling as far as how high you can fly them, especially here being close to 2 air force bases. Honestly couldn't remember what it is.

And this is why we can't have nice things.

You can hear a helicopter coming so why not just be more aware? The sky is big so is a Blackhawk. I am not a drone guy but I don't see how this happens.

That guy is fricked.

The ceiling is 500 ft. For drones.
Edit: you right, 500ft was proposed a few years ago, but it ended up being 400

Yea not ending well for the guy/girl that owned the drone.

Ceiling is 400ft for hobbyist, not sure the laws on a commercially licensed pilot, tigerpawl or what ever his name is would likely know.

Can't even imagine what it cost to replace a main rotor blade on an Apache.

Was this an accident or a possible terrorist run? Serious question.
Posted on 9/29/17 at 1:52 pm to Napoleon
How long before ISIS tries this out? Are they strong enough to lift a small IED?

400ft, anything over that you have to file a flight plan with local air control.
Posted on 9/29/17 at 1:57 pm to Napoleon
Blackhawks put out so much turbulence around them, I'm surprised the drone got close enough to fly into it..
Posted on 9/29/17 at 1:58 pm to highpockets
400ft is ceiling for anything. Commercial or hobbyist. Above that you have to file a flight plan with relevant air traffic control. Which dont get approved unless you are licensed.
