According to airport personnel, a MEDSTAR helicopter encountered interference from a drone flying west of the airport recently over the 400 ft ceiling permitted by FAA regulations.
The drone was operating at about 700 feet when the helicopter noticed it: Fairhope police responded when notified by airport managers.
Anyone wanting to fly a drone within five miles of the airport needs to notify the airport manager (Continental Motors) or Airport Authority beforehand to get clearance, according to new manager Joe Baggett; but must always stay under 400 feet to avoid interfering with aircraft.
