Stop the drone panic – pilots should take their own advice:
This is the latest example of the “safety fad” problem in aviation, a type of industry-wide ADHD. For a few years in the mid-2000s, runway incursions were going to kill us all. Reports of these events skyrocketed almost overnight, and serious FAA presentations warned of huge fatalities if something didn’t change. Millions were spent on technology and training.
And then it was bird strikes, and then... it's devices lighter, smaller, and far less prevalent than birds.
