HI HR144

Urges helicopter companies operating in Hawaii to avoid flying over residential neighborhoods except in emergency situations.

Requests that helicopter companies take disciplinary action against pilots who violate the requested flight restrictions.

Cites noise pollution, safety hazards, and fatal crashes such as a recent deadly helicopter crash on a street in Kailua, Oahu as reasons for the restriction.

Directs certified copies of the resolution to be sent to the Hawaii Helicopter Association, Federal Aviation Administration, Hawaii State Department of Transportation, and Hawaii's congressional delegation.
