BETA Technologies Helicopter Makes Safe Emergency Landing in Williston Field No Injuries Reported

A small helicopter made an emergency landing on Monday in a Williston field. Fire crews responded to a report of a helicopter down near Mountain View Road just before noon. When rescue crews arrived, they found the small two-seat helicopter had landed safely in an open field. Nobody was injured and the helicopter was not damaged. The pilot said mechanical issues forced the unplanned landing. “The anomaly here was that the aircraft landed off the airfield. The helicopter pilot knows their job, and they knew that it was too much for them to safely make it back to the airport. For the protection of their own lives and safety, they just decided to put it down in an area of clearing and err on the side of caution,” Williston Fire Chief Aaron Collette said. Fire officials said it was a BETA Technologies aircraft.
