The Academy of Model Aeronautics has done some amazing research on pilot interactions with drones using FAA data [1]. One of the things they found was that only 3% of drone reports from pilots are actual "close calls", the rest are observations of drones operating legally below 400 ft or cases where done is used as a catch all term (weather baloons, etc). Another interesting thing I read from them (my bookmark is 404ing now, will try to find the link), is that of the actual incidents they investigated of drones acting recklessly in controlled airspace, all of the offending drones were operated by the military or DHS. 1. https://www.modelaircraft.org/sites/default/files/UASSightingsAnalysisbyAMA5-10-17.pdf https://www.modelaircraft.org/sites/default/files/UASSightin...
