BPD Community Alert:
Low-Flying Helicopter Activity Expected.
Weather permitting, a helicopter will operate between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The aircraft will fly at approximately 125 to 150 feet above ground level along a transmission line corridor running throughout Boston.
The helicopter will stop momentarily at each tower and will make two passes along the route on opposite sides of the line to ensure a thorough inspection. Residents may also observe the aircraft traveling between locations or surveying the corridor.
This is a planned, authorized utility inspection operation. There is no cause for concern.
