Drones are becoming increasingly common in our airspace, creating new opportunities as well as new safety challenges around airports.

Joining the discussion will be representatives from the Central California Intelligence Center (CCIC) and the FBI, who will provide insight into drone detection systems, stories of recent drone interference with TFR's, and the proper procedures for reporting suspicious or hazardous drone activity near airports.
