CS HPT-DSN.F.520 Heliport identification marking
ED Decision 2019/012/R
(a) Applicability: Heliport identification markings should be provided at a heliport.
(b) Location:
(1) For runway-type FATOs:
A heliport identification marking should be located in the FATO and when used in conjunction with FATO designation markings, should be displayed at each end of the FATO (see Figure F-2).
(2) For all FATOs except runway-type FATOs:
(i) A heliport identification marking should be located at or near the centre of the FATO (see Figure F-1).
(ii) On a FATO which contains a TLOF, a heliport identification marking should be located in the FATO so that the position of it coincides with the centre of the TLOF.
(c) Characteristics:
(1) A heliport identification marking should consist of a letter ‘H’, white in colour. The dimensions of the ‘H’ marking should be no less than those shown in Figure F-3.
(2) Where the ‘H’ marking is used for a runway-type FATO, its dimensions should be increased by a factor of 3 (see Figures F-2 and F-3).
(3) A heliport identification marking should be oriented with the cross arm of the ‘H’ at right angles to the preferred final approach direction.
Note: The aiming point, heliport identification and FATO perimeter markings are white and may be edged with a 10 cm black border to improve contrast
