Without entering the debate on fair/unfair, I'm guessing clareprop may well have been inferring that mis-identification of the offending(?) drone in question, as far as I'm aware the P4 is limited to a ALT MAX of 390ft (500ft with a little tweaking).

I suspect the drone in question would be of another variety - that said, am sure the more technically mined could perhaps 'tweak' the P4's firmware to allow increased altitudes to be reached (doubt 8,200ft for a p4 IMHO! no battery heating etc., etc.).....maybe not.....but of course, this doesn't detract from the fact if there was a drone at 8,200ft, without the relevant PfCO, RA and permission for CAS flight, and a reason to be there -
