FAA Safety Precautions During Helicopter Activity
September 27, 2024
  • Watch for safety flaggers on Pillar Point Bluff trails directing sporadic trail closures as supplies are transported by helicopter from Half Moon Bay Airport to US Fish and Wildlife structures on the Farallon Islands. Flight activity and safety flaggers will be present the following days:

    • Sep. 30
    • Oct. 1, 10 and 11

    These safety precautions are required by the Federal Aviation Administration while helicopters carry heavy, sling-loaded payloads over the trails.  The brief stoppage of all trail use is expected to last approximately 5 minutes when helicopters are in flight.

    For everyone’s safety please adhere to the directions of the safety flaggers.
