Procedure
At 4.9 DME from MKC and at 1900 MSL; the Pilot Flying noticed a large quadcopter at our 10 o'clock position from the flight deck. Approximate separation was 500 ft laterally and 100 ft below the aircraft. Due to parallax while on the approach it was not possible to determine if the UAS was maneuvering but it was determined that the incident UAS was not a threat and no aircraft approach adjustment was necessary. The incident location and altitude was relayed to Tower.
Corporate jet Captain reported a close encounter with a quadcopter UAS on approach to MKC.
