The New York City Council passed a bill that would limit nonessential helicopters in the sky.
The Helicopter Oversight Act bans those flights from city heli-ports, unless they meet federal noise standards.
Debate over the bill comes after several recent helicopter-related accidents in New York, including a fatal Hudson River crash earlier this month.
