Narrative:

While on a base leg for the ILS 1 at cak; I noticed a blue drone off the left side of my wing. We were at 3;000 MSL and the drone appeared to be at approximately 3;200 MSL. I notified ATC immediately and even they found it as a primary target on their radar. That being said; this drone was within class C airspace. No damage or injuries. This is a one time event that may become a more frequent event with drone popularity increasing.
