JetBlue pilot reports hitting drone as flight approached landing at JFK Airport

An American Airlines flight bound for Bermuda aborted takeoff at Miami International Airport on Friday after a business jet crossed the active runway, bringing the planes within about a third of a mile of each other.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident that happened as the plane passed through 3,000 feet (914 meters) around 7:15 a.m. as it was crossing the coastline.

The flight landed without incident and passengers were safely deplaned before the aircraft was removed from service for inspection.

The incident is the latest in a series of close encounters involving drones and commercial aircraft.
