Details
The AAIB started investigating accidents to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in 2015.
Since that time, The AAIB has learnt a lot about UAS and the different factors that can cause or contribute to UAS accidents. Whenever we perceive that there is a significant safety issue or safety lesson to convey, then we aim to publish a report. We encourage UAS operators to report accidents and serious incidents to us so that other operators and the UAS industry can learn from them.
