    In this the required dimensions ( dependent on the approaching helicopter type ) and the position on the property or the building ( dependent on the obstacle situation , aeronautical aspects , regulations and predominant weather conditions ) are fixed . The environment compatibility of the intended air traffic use is another aspect of the permission acc. to air traffic law .

    The building of a planned heliport is dependent on many factors.

    To get some safety in planning , the air-traffic-legally approval ability of a helipad should therefore be examined in a very early planning phase ( in the context of a target planning / master plan ) .

    First after an extensive location analysis / feasibility study , which especially respond to air safety aspects and obstacle freeness , the final position and construction method of a landing pad should be defined .

    The international guidelines Joint Aviation Requirements JAR-OPS-3 and the International Civil Aviation Organisation ICAO Annex 14 are made to increase the safety for the population and especially helicopter crews using hospital helipads .

    Thereafter helipads are to be build that flying maneuvers acc. to CAT A are possible by multi-engined helicopters .
