Officers arrived and learned that there were no injuries and that the training helicopter from Hillsboro Aviation made the emergency landing after the pilot and co-pilot noticed an engine warning light and decided to make the precautionary landing on the school’s baseball field.

A flatbed truck is enroute to pick-up the helicopter and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responding to conduct an investigation.
