Every ASRS report is a learning opportunity. In this issue of UAS Safety In Sight, we present a report from a recreational drone flyer that describes an unexpected turn of events. The report offers an opportunity to explore the sequence of events, the outcomes, and lessons learned. In short, the report offers an opportunity to ask, “What would I have done?”
To start, we present “The First Half” of an actual ASRS report that describes an event up to a point where a decision was made. We invite you to read the story and then stop and ponder the scenario. Exercise your own judgement to make a decision or determine a possible course of action. Then, read the rest of the story to find out what actions the reporter took. Bear in mind that their decisions may not necessarily represent the best course of action, and there may not be a “right” answer. The selected report may not give all the information you want, but each incident should give you a chance to exercise your decision-making skills. Our intent is to stimulate thought, training, and discussion related to these reported incidents.
