A man in Berlin is said to have repeatedly contacted pilots of airplanes and helicopters via radio.
Now he was caught.
A man in
Berlin
has repeatedly caused confusion with radio messages.
The radio operator had
radioed
pilots from
planes
and helicopters.
Now he has been arrested by the police.
Berlin - A man at
Berlin Airport gave
instructions to
pilots of
planes
and helicopters
several times
- but he was not part of flight safety.
Rather, he deliberately endangered air traffic.
Radio operator gives dangerous instructions to pilots
The man was active in Berlin for more than half a year.
According to the police, according to his instructions to pilots, they have become “more and more professional”.
He had made contact with various
aircraft
around
Berlin Airport
.
The man had also radioed helicopters - including the machine shared by the federal and state police.
There was a risk that the man's instructions would also trigger “dangerous flight maneuvers”.
Therefore, the police went looking for the illegal radio operator.
During the search, specialists from the Federal Police's flight service and technical reconnaissance were deployed.
The Federal Network Agency was also involved in the search.
After all, the 32-year-old was
caught on a fresh day
on Friday night (29.01.2021) in Berlin-Köpenick, around ten kilometers from
Berlin-Brandenburg Airport
.
Two radios for contact with aircraft in Berlin
Among other things, two radios with frequencies for
airplanes
and helicopters were found in the man.
The devices were confiscated by the police as evidence.
The suspect is now being investigated on suspicion of multiple dangerous interventions in air traffic.
At Frankfurt Airport, too, there are always problems with dangerous interference with air traffic.
Among other things, a model pilot was responsible for a near collision with an airplane.
Drones also cause problems again and again.
An incident with one of the unmanned devices caused 72 flights at Frankfurt Airport to be canceled.
Frankfurt Airport has therefore set up a program to better protect aircraft *.
