If you see this low-flying helicopter around Lakewood in the coming days, there’s no need to be alarmed.

JCP&L plans to start performing UV/IR Inspections on the JCP&L transmission lines beginning Monday August 17th. The UV/IR Aerial Inspections in the JCP&L region typically require about 2 to 3 days for completion, depending of course on weather conditions, as well as other scheduling needs.

The helicopter will be flying slowly (20-30 mph) along the lines, and may hover at any time for a closer inspection. The helicopter scheduled for these patrols is a black and silver Bell 206.
