Mozambique authorities: No UAV collision with LAM Mozambique 737
A LAM Mozambique Boeing 737-700 that landed in Tete, Mozambique, Jan 5 with nose damage was not hit by an unmanned aerial vehicle, authorities in Mozambique have concluded. The aircraft was widely reported to have been in a possible drone collision as it approached the airport, but the evidence does not bear that out, the Mozambican Civil Aviation Institute (IACM) said. According to the Flight Safety Foundation’s Aviation Safety Network, which cited IACM, the damage to the aircraft’s nose occurred because of structural failure to a radome caused by air flow pressure. The IACM said there was no sign of wreckage from a UAV, nor any evidence that one had been operating in the vicinity of the Tete Airport at the time. <br/>
