Police helicopters make 2 'precautionary' landings in 14 hours

A Columbus Division of Police helicopter made a precautionary landing this afternoon on the Northeast Side, the second time in 24 hours that a division pilot was forced to touch down unexpectedly. 

The latest landing occurred at 1:50 p.m. in the area of New Albany Road and Walton Parkway, north of Rt. 161. 

The aircraft landed without incident, and no injuries were reported, police said. 

It is not clear if the landing involved the same aircraft that made a precautionary landing on the Far West Side late last night. 

In that incident, a police pilot put a helicopter down in a parking lot off Hilliard-Rome Road just before midnight, after a warning light came on. No injuries occurred in that incident.
