An Ohio hospital heliport can now take flights when pilots cannot see the ground

The US aviation agency proposes creating a new controlled airspace around a hospital heliport in Geneva, Ohio. This means helicopters can now fly to and from the hospital using instruments, even in bad weather.

Before this change, medical helicopters could only land at the hospital if pilots could see the ground. This limited emergency access during fog, heavy rain, or other low-visibility conditions. Now, pilots can use their instruments to navigate, making the hospital accessible for critical care flights around the clock.
