Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 sustained serious damage as it allegedly collided with a drone on approach to Tijuana International Airport, Mexico
An Aeromexico Boeing 737-800 aircraft allegedly collided with a drone as it approached the runway at an airport in Tijuana, Mexico, according to local media. The Boeing 737-800 (reg. XA-ADV) sustained damage to its radome and weather radar on approach to runway 09 at Tijuana International Airport, Mexico. The flight #AM770 from Guadalajara completed the descent without complications, according to Diario de Colima, which noted that passengers disembarked from the plane normally. (www.airlive.net) עוד...few if any airlines will pay for safety features other than those that will affect their bottom line. It is a business. Safety does not sell in a highly regulated environment. I agree with Cansojr. Something serious has to happen. ex: little change following Malaysia 370.
What safety features? Installing a new brain in the operator?
Would like to see confirmation that it was, in effect ad drone. Embedded pieces? Even micro- remains? That said, can't see any bird splatter on the radome. Is that always the case?

It is only a matter of time until a major incident occurs due to a drone. The operators just don't get the implications of a collision with a large fast moving aircraft.
My use of the word "airlines" would seem to indicate my perspective.
No I was thinking of AC being able to detect in advance and avoid. Or ATC have the ability to see anything lower than max drone height and advise AC that a go around is required.
