Aviation Word Of The Day - Helipad
As seen in previous lessons, aerodrome provides the landing surface of all types of aircraft. However the helipad is more specific. It provides the landing area for both landing and taking off of helicopters.
A helicopter landing pad (helipad) is a landing area or platform for helicopters. While helicopters are able to operate on a variety of relatively flat surfaces, a fabricated helipad provides a clearly marked hard surface away from obstacles where a helicopter can land safely.
