AC 150/5390-2B September 30, 2004 CHAPTER 4. HOSPITAL HELIPORTS 400. GENERAL. Helicopters have proven to be an effective means of transporting injured persons from the scene of an accident to a HOSPITAL and in transferring patients in critical need of specialized services from one HOSPITAL to another HOSPITAL having that capability. A functional HOSPITAL heliport may be as simple as a cleared area on the ground, together with a windsock and a clear approach/ departure path. Figure 4-1 illustrates the essential elements of a ground-level HOSPITAL heliport. The heliport consists of a touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF) surrounded by a final approach and takeoff area (FATO). A safety area is provided around the FATO. The relationship of the TLOF to the FATO and the Safety Area is shown in Figure 4-2.
