What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Sergeant privacy data omitted reports that he was operating a dji inspire 1 aircraft in support of police surveillance operations on March 7th. His aircraft battery level nearly exhausted, he brought the aircraft in for landing when a loss of controll occurred just feet from landing, resulting in some damage to a police cruiser door. Initial door repair estimates were for the replacement of scratched and dented door components, totaling over $1200. However, actual cost of repairs is below $500. This incident does not meet threshold for UAS accident. Sergeant privacy data omitted reported in an abundance of caution. No further information adds to the story.
Ast privacy data omitted discussed the incident with sergeant privacy data omitted, and some inter-department training/discussion related to low battery landing procedures was determined to be the best opportunity to prevent recurrence.
