Re: UK Government playing fast and loose with facts?
Fair due to the UK Government that this is actually hysteria from BALPA and not from MAA/CAA, so it is not 'official'.
For BALPA’s Flight Safety Specialist to suggest that a drone could cause an uncontained engine failure is both reckless and purposefully inflammatory. It’s because of comments such as these that BALPA statements are looked upon with deep skepticism by members of the drone community.
