Narrative:

Drone sighting report. While flying a cirrus SR20 at 1150 ft westbound enroute to fme ivo riise waypoint; approximately 2 miles sse of wmpt tv tower (1049 ft on sectional); 7 miles west of annapolis; md; at 120 kts; spotted a large (approximately 2-3 ft diameter) black and red uas flying approximately westbound; same direction of travel (estimated due to slow closure rate and duration of sighting; approximately 20 sec); at altitude of between 1000-1100 ft. It appeared at first as a far off helicopter at lower altitude; though not on tis-B mfds (ads-B out/mode-south in). As we grew closer it was apparent it was a drone; which we over took within 5-10 seconds; passing on the left. We were able to observe it for 10-15 more seconds; while traveling at 120 kts; I had time to confirm airspeed; altitude; tis-B display; and reference location; then still observe the uas - gathering the mental picture trying to identify the type; size; and color. Unknown black and red; possible partial wing quad copter or hex+ copter. No further information. Continued to fme at 1300 ft and did not alter altitude or course until within 5 nm of airport. Busy frequency and outside of class B; so I did not report to the controller.

Title: SR20 pilot reported a near miss with a UAS at 1150 ft enroute to the RIISE waypoint between FME and ANP; 2 NM southeast of the WMPT TV tower.

Narrative: Drone sighting report. While flying a Cirrus SR20 at 1150 ft westbound enroute to FME IVO RIISE waypoint; approximately 2 miles SSE of WMPT TV Tower (1049 ft on sectional); 7 miles West of Annapolis; MD; at 120 kts; spotted a large (approximately 2-3 ft diameter) black and red UAS flying approximately westbound; same direction of travel (estimated due to slow closure rate and duration of sighting; approximately 20 sec); at altitude of between 1000-1100 ft. It appeared at first as a far off helicopter at lower altitude; though not on TIS-B MFDs (ADS-B out/mode-S in). As we grew closer it was apparent it was a drone; which we over took within 5-10 seconds; passing on the left. We were able to observe it for 10-15 more seconds; while traveling at 120 kts; I had time to confirm airspeed; altitude; TIS-B display; and reference location; then still observe the UAS - gathering the mental picture trying to identify the type; size; and color.
