The Boeing 737 was flying at around 1,500 feet at 4:40 p.m. when the pilot spotted the drone off the aircraft’s left side, according to Ian Gregor of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Control tower personnel notified the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Gregor said.
The plane landed safely, and airport operations were not affected.
