Consider the following points when selecting a landing zone for a helicopter: Incident Management Situation Report (IMSR) 32 0 obj <>stream 0000004288 00000 n Consider the wind direction. Space these lights at 15 ft. (5 m) intervals beginning at a point not less than 20 ft. (6 m) and not more than 60 ft. (18 m) from the TLOF perimeter and extending outward in the direction of the preferred approach/departure path. A helipad should be at least half a mile away from any tree if for no other reason than their potential for attracting birds which can pose a hazard for helicopters. This AC provides standards for the planning, design and construction of heliports serving helicopters with single, tandem (front and rear) or dual (side by side) rotors. Washington, DC 20591 The meaning of HELIPAD is heliport. The TLOF must be at least as long and wide as the rotor diameter of the largest helicopter to use the heliport. 0000005742 00000 n Many locations form part of a hub and spoke system of heliports that serve as feeders from major cities to airports, suburban to urban areas, and city-center to city-center locations. Locate a flat area that is of sufficient size for the type of helicopter you are expecting. Its essential that any defects are rectified quickly to prevent the need for more significant repairs later on. This established the minimum standards for designing a heliport facility.

A parking area must be provided if more than one helicopter at a time is to be accommodated. What materials are used to construct Heliports/Vertiports? C. Transport facilities are publicly owned or controlled and are designed for accommodating larger helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft and increased numbers of passengers. %%EOF The ACs are technical documents that cover design elements of Heliports/Vertiports and assume a basic understanding of helicopter and heliport operations. These ICAO SARPs prescribe the helipad physical characteristics, obstacle control criteria, visual aids requirements and guidance on elements such as site selection and structural design.
