An Act relative to public safety around hospitals with air emergency helipads
HD 121 prohibits non-emergency flight training maneuvers within a 2 nautical mile radius of hospital helipads in Massachusetts. It bans activities like simulated landings, practice approaches, and turns near these locations, while requiring overflights to stay above 2,000 feet above ground level. The bill directly affects private flight schools and recreational pilots by restricting where they can conduct training. Its key provision establishes specific airspace safety rules around hospital helipads to reduce potential risks to the public.
