## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

REGISTRATION # FA3CCRET37

CERT # 4472563

FLYING A MISSION FOR DRONEBASE COMPANY. I WAS INTERRUPTED

A PERSON ACCUSING ME OF SPYING AND INVASION OF PRIVACY. AFTER ASSURING THE PERSON THIS WAS A LEGITIMATE DRONE JOB, I PROCEEDED WITH CHECKING THE AREA BEFORE TAKING A PERIMETER VIDEO. DURING THE PERIMETER CHECK, I WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE PERSON OF INTEREST AGAIN, LOST FOCUS AND THE DRONE CLIPPED A CELL PHONE TOWER AT 70' HEIGHT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
