FORT CARSON, Colo.—The U.S. Army has agreed to restrict helicopter training flights over southeastern Colorado after residents complained about low-altitude training flights.
A Fort Carson spokesman said Tuesday the helicopters will stay within the boundaries of the Pinon (PIN-yun) Canyon Maneuver Site.
According to the Pueblo Chieftain ( ), helicopters must maintain higher altitudes outside the designated flying area. Pilots are being required to stay more than a half-mile away from any residential houses or ranches during the training flights.
