SINGAPORE - An aviation technology company has been suspended from operating unmanned aircraft (UA) after one of its drones crashed-landed in a condominium development in one-north on July 19. The use of the drone, a Hexadrone Tundra 2, is also suspended, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said on Tuesday (July 23), adding that the affected drone is the only one of its make registered in Singapore. On the day of the crash, the drone's commercial operator, H3 Dynamics Holdings, was conducting a series of flights at the one-north drone estate, over the Pixel Building, to develop a control station for the device. At about 6pm, the drone flew outside the approved activity area on its eighth flight of the day and crash-landed on the grounds of One-North Residences, a 250m walk away from the Pixel Building. There were no reported injuries, the CAAS said. Preliminary investigations revealed that the drone deviated from its planned route because of a faulty positioning sensor, the authority added.
