Findings
FAA AC 150/5390 -2C does not require a helicopter
protection zone.
HPZ more beneficial to surface helipad, not possible
with existing pad
The design criteria of the proposed helipad meet those
recommended in AC 150/5390 -2C and safer for both
patient and aircraft then existing helipad
Recommendations
Q7 n $ervk4%Inc.
Accept the proposed location as designed by HEI with one
exception
Revise the Easterly approach /departure path to newer submission
by HEI
Smaller noise footprint
Lower probability of infringement to commercial and
residential property owners south of I -7o and ease of hospital
campus.
Same level of safety to aircraft, crew, patient, and public as
easterly path previously submitted
HEI Recommended site provides higher level of safety versus
continued use of existing helipad
Install an Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) of
sufficient capability to provide pilot with planning and arrival
weather details. (AWOS III)
