  • On July 16, 2025, investigators with the F.A.A. raided the NYPD's Aviation Unit's base on Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, following complaints by NYPD officers against the Aviation Unit's commanding officer, who has since been dismissed. On July 4, 2025, a tail rotor was damaged during helicopter training, which triggered a requirement for reporting to the National Transportation Safety Board, but wasn't reported, according to an exposé published by the New York Post.
