During a festival, the drone used for filming purposes, collided with one of the vertical structures of the stage and its path came to an end in the audience.
The report underlines the importance of complying with the third-party exclusion zone.
Propeller protections and knowledge of the emergency procedures are also discussed.
At the start of the descent, the left main landing gear door detached from the plane, causing further damage to the aircraft. The loss of a nut is the cause of this in-flight separation. The safety investigation brought to light errors in the manufacturer's generic maintenance documentation that may lead to the installation of screw / nut combinations which do not correspond to the state-of-the-art.
Serious incidents characterized by the inhalation of potentially incapacitating substances require that samples be taken as soon as possible after exposure of the crew. Such responsiveness supposes that the approach be anticipated and coordinated by the operators, authorities and medical structures at airports, in particular those associated with a commercial passenger activity. This report shows that the conditions can be met for operators and flight crews to establish agreements to allow such samples to be taken for the benefit of safety investigations, or even work on cabin air quality.
