GM1 HPT-DSN.D.300 Helicopter stands

(a)It is not considered good practice to locate helicopter stands under a flight path.

(b)Where non-simultaneous operations are envisaged, the protection areas of helicopter stands and their associated taxi-routes may overlap (see Figure GM1-D-1).

(c)Characteristics: For a helicopter stand intended to be used by wheeled helicopters for turning on the ground, the dimension of the helicopter stand and the protection area, including the dimension of the central zone, would need to be significantly increased.
