Drones are available to just about everyone, but a new report claims some people are flying too close to airplanes and helicopters.

Drones are now a tool some media producers use to gain an edge.

That high demand is good news for Steven Levy and his Tampa based production company Habana Avenue.

“Demand is off the charts,” said Levy.

The company shoots high level video using drones.

“It’s cost effective and it gives us a really, really unique perspective to most things,” said Levy.

Levy and his crew have specific guidelines and rules they follow.

Unfortunately as drones enter the mainstream, amateurs are clouding the airspace.

According to the Associated Press, drone sightings near airplanes and airports are way up, it happens almost daily.

The FAA said small plastic drones are hard to pick up on radar. That can be a problem because the drones can slam into planes or get sucked into the engine and cause a crash.

The agency’s near total ban on drones has been largely ignored by many users including farmers and real estate agents, making it tougher for producers like Levy to do their jobs.

“So everyone has access to some level of drone, so it does make it more difficult because the number of failures is high for those who are not certified or have experience flying the aircraft,” said Levy.

Levy believes the drone conversation will ultimately lead to clearer rules and regulations and fewer near misses between airplanes and drones.

The FAA is expected to propose legislation later this year that would allow greater commercial use for certain types of drones.
