Eurofox (Civ FW) |
Drone |
5107N 00302W Bridgwater 1600ft |
London FIR (G) |
The Eurofox pilot reports they were the lead aircraft of a two-ship formation flying from [a nearby microlight site]. They were established in a straight and level cruise passing Bridgwater in VMC with excellent visibility. Keeping a regular scanning lookout, something suddenly caught their eye through the canopy roof window. They turned their head to see the drone pass over the starboard wing a matter of “inches” relative to their line of sight with the top of the wing. Not knowing the size of the drone makes estimating distances somewhat difficult, but their reaction at the time, and still is, that it was within feet as they could make out the detail of the drone. The pilot in the following aircraft did not see the drone.
The pilot described the drone as white with red and green navigation lights.
Reported Separation: 5ft V/10ft H Reported Risk of Collision: High |
In the Board’s opinion the reported altitude and/or description of the object were sufficient to indicate that it could have been a drone.
Applicable Contributory Factors: 1, 2, 4, 7
Risk: The Board considered that providence had played a major part in the incident and/or a definite risk of collision had existed. |

[1] Latitude and Longitude are usually only estimates that are based on the reported time of occurrence mapped against any available radar data for the aircraft’s position at that time. Because such reported times may be inaccurate, the associated latitudes and longitudes should therefore not be relied upon as precise locations of the event.
