WHILE PASSING OVER A 5G COMMUNICATIONS TOWER, JUST EAST ON HCA KINGWOOD HOSPITAL, KINGWOOD, TX, THE HELICOPTER HAD AN ARRAY OF CAUTIONS WITH THE GENESIS. THE PIC STATED, âJUST STARTED THROWING ALL KINDS OF CAUTIONS ON THE GENESIS AND THEN KICKED OFF MY UPPER MODESâ. THE PILOT DID NOT TAKE ANY EVASIVE ACTION, FLEW THE HELICOPTER MANUALLY UNTIL ALL OF THE CAUTIONS EXTINGUISHED AND THE AVIONICS RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GENESYS AND 5G.
