What is helicoptor pad?

A helicopter pad, also known as helipad or helicopter landing pad, is a designated area on the ground or on a building rooftop where helicopters can land and take off safely.

Helipads are often designed to be easy to spot from the air and equipped with lighting systems for night-time operations. They are typically made from materials that are resistant to the erosive effects of the helicopter's rotor wash.

Helipads can be found in various locations such as hospitals, airports, oil rigs, government buildings, and private properties. They are used for a variety of purposes such as medical emergencies, search and rescue operations, transportation of important personnel, military operations, and aerial firefighting.

Helipads require proper maintenance and safety procedures to ensure safe landings and takeoffs. Ground crews are responsible for inspecting and maintaining the landing pad's surface for safety, while pilots must follow specific procedures when approaching and departing from the helipad.
