CS HPT-DSN.F.520 Heliport identification marking

(a)Applicability: Heliport identification markings should be provided at a heliport.

(b)Location:

(1)For runway-type FATOs: A heliport identification marking should be located in the FATO and when used in conjunction with FATO designation markings, should be displayed at each end of the FATO (see Figure F-2).

(2)For all FATOs except runway-type FATOs:

(i)A heliport identification marking should be located at or near the centre of the FATO (see Figure F-1).

(ii)On a FATO which contains a TLOF, a heliport identification marking should be located in the FATO so that the position of it coincides with the centre of the TLOF.

(c)Characteristics:

(1)A heliport identification marking should consist of a letter ‘H’, white in colour. The dimensions of the ‘H’ marking should be no less than those shown in Figure F-3.

(2)Where the ‘H’ marking is used for a runway-type FATO, its dimensions should be increased by a factor of 3 (see Figures F-2 and F-3).

(3)A heliport identification marking should be oriented with the cross arm of the ‘H’ at right angles to the preferred final approach direction.
