Are there any guidelines and regulations governing the ownership and construction of a multiple aircraft type helipad in

a) the USA
b) Europe?

  • Do you mean Helipads that are often seen on rooftops in cities? The ones I've noticed are only big enough for one craft at a time. Or do you mean at a more remote location, like part of a pier, or an airport, where there is room for more than 1? – CrossRoads May 01 '18 at 12:46

    We already have multiple questions about building an airport in the US, e.g. here, here, and the basic answer is always the same: construction ultimately depends on local (state/county) zoning regulations. What exactly do you need to know that isn't already answered in those questions? – Pondlife May 01 '18 at 16:15
  • @CrossRoads I'm saying constructed both on rooftops and those in remote locations, however by different aircraft trypes, I mean some have more weight than others and others have wheels instead of blades or rails as landing gear – securitydude5 May 02 '18 at 07:23
  • @Pondlife I'd like to know the specific guidelines with regards to construction and approval of heliports like it has to be 5.this X 5.this diameter or wide, it has to have x to x to x concrete mixture advisory on non landing paved area at least 10.this x 10.this area. It must have a 20.this x 20.this clear surrounding otherwise we won approve! If you let trees grow and continue to land you will flout the safety rules and go to jail, minimum x years to life... measure ments in Scientific units like metres, centimeters and millimetres will be great appreaciated. Also Kgs and grams – securitydude5 May 02 '18 at 07:41

The FAA publishes an Advisory Circular on heliport design. It applies to heliports serving helicopters with a single rotor. I don't believe that there are any regulations regarding "ownership". They just have to be operated in compliance with appropriate FAA, state and local regulations (but these can get complicated)
