&quot;A small drone helicopter passed within 30ft of the cockpit of an A319 plane while on the approach to Heathrow&quot;<p>I really dislike the use of the word &quot;drone&quot; here. It really implies something that it&#x27;s not - in that case it was a helicopter, in most other cases they use that term it&#x27;s an RC quadcopter.<p>Unless we&#x27;re going to start calling everything that&#x27;s RC a drone.
