The incident concerned a scheduled flight from Zurich (LSZH) to London City (EGLC) with flight number LX465 and radio call sign ‘Swiss Four Five Charlie’ with 87 passengers and 4 crew members on board. The pilot was the pilot flying (PF) and the co-pilot carried out the role of the pilot monitoring (PM).
After an uneventful flight, the aircraft was aligned to the position line of runway 27’s localiser in good visual meteorological conditions (VMC), when the PM, shortly before intercepting the glide path at 3000 ft AMSL and approximately 6 NM from the runway threshold, spotted a flying object. He assessed this to be a yellow-coloured drone that was crossing the flight path at the same altitude approximately 20 metres away. There was no radio message to Thames Radar control centre regarding the near collision.
The flight crew continued with the approach and the aircraft landed without incident.
