Three drone sightings in recent days by commercial pilots approaching Kennedy Airport through Nassau County airspace should motivate federal agencies to strengthen their regulations of the unmanned aircraft, Sen. Charles Schumer said Sunday.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the Office of Management and Budget must speed up the release of a rule on drone use in light of the “near-misses” and because safety and privacy are at risk with the rising popularity of drones, Schumer (D-N.Y.) said.
