Rooftop Emergency Heliports
The research for this project included an in-depth analysis of high-rise fire incidents in which helicopters have been used. Following this effort, a survey was conducted of building codes that were applicable to the construction of heliports and helistops on the roofs of high-rise buildings. These codes were examined to determine common and uncommon elements and to identify strengths and weaknesses. After analyzing this data, the FAA's Heliport Design Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5390-2 was reviewed. This data was then used to develop recommendations for additions or changes to the AC.
