Council conditionally approves short eVTOL helipad test in June pending hold‑harmless
Precision Aviation seeks to run a roughly two‑week eVTOL test on the airport helipad in June; the Council agreed to allow testing provided the helipad is closed with notice to Penn Yan Ambulance and Mercy Flight Central and the company provides a Hold Harmless agreement.
