Unknown person operating drone near aircraft. Notified ATC. Suggestions: More closely monitor the position of drones in relation to aircraft.
On Approach to XX in PHL a drone flew past the aircraft. It was at 5;000 feet; straight and level and heading westbound. I saw it pass off the left side of the aircraft. It didn't cause us to change course or altitude. Suggestions:Be aware of drones by airports. Second trip in a row now.
