Model Interactions
Suggested Interaction ICAO 4
Transcript
The controller told us to hold position, asked if there was a drone there and if we were sure, and said that security staff was on the way.
Suggested Interaction ICAO 5
Transcript
The controller instructed us to hold position, asked whether there was actually a drone near the aircraft and whether we were sure about what we had seen. He also informed us that security staff was on the way. Since a drone close to an aircraft can create a serious safety risk, maintaining our position until the area was checked was essential.
