b) where a) is not practicable, evenly spaced around the perimeter of the touchdown and lift-off area at the appropriate interval except that over a sector of 45 degrees the lights shall be spaced at half spacing. 5.3.8.6 Touchdown and lift-off area perimeter lights shall be uniformly spaced at intervals of not more than 3 m for elevated heliports and helidecks and not more than 5 m for surface level heliports. There shall be a minimum number of four lights on each side including a light at each corner. For a circular touchdown and lift-off area, where lights are installed in accordance with 5.3.8.5 b) there shall be a minimum of fourteen lights. Note.— Guidance on this issue is contained in the Heliport Manual (Doc 9261). 5.3.8.7 The touchdown and lift-off area perimeter lights shall be installed at an elevated heliport or fixed helideck such that the pattern cannot be seen by the pilot from below the elevation of the touchdown and lift-off area. 5.3.8.8 The touchdown and lift-off area perimeter lights shall be installed at a floating helideck, such that the pattern cannot be seen by the pilot from below the elevation of the touchdown and lift-off area when the helideck is level. 5.3.8.9 On surface level heliports, ASPSL or LPs, if provided to identify the touchdown and lift-off area, shall be placed along the marking designating the edge of the 25/11/04 No. 3 2007/70/II. szám Chapter 5 Annex 14 — Aerodromes 9/11/95 touchdown and lift-off area. Where the touchdown and lift-off area is a circle, they shall be located on straight lines circumscribing the area. 5.3.8.10 On surface level heliports the minimum number of LPs on a touchdown and lift-off area shall be nine. The total length of LPs in a pattern shall not be less than 50 per cent of the length of the pattern. There shall be an odd number with a minimum number of three panels on each side of the touchdown and lift-off area including a panel at each corner. LPs shall be uniformly spaced with a distance between adjacent panel ends of not more than 5 m on each side of the touchdown and lift-off area. 5.3.8.11 Recommendation.— When LPs are used on an elevated heliport or helideck to enhance surface texture cues, the panels should not be placed adjacent to the perimeter lights. They should be placed around a touchdown marking where it is provided or coincident with heliport identification marking. 5.3.8.12 Touchdown and lift-off area floodlights shall be located so as to avoid glare to pilots in flight or to personnel working on the area. The arrangement and aiming of floodlights shall be such that shadows are kept to a minimum. Note.— ASPSL and LPs used to designate the touchdown and/or heliport identification marking have been shown to provide enhanced surface texture cues when compared to lowlevel floodlights. Due to the risk of misalignment, if floodlights are used, there will be a need for them to be checked periodically to ensure they remain within the specifications contained within 5.3.8. Characteristics 5.3.8.13 The touchdown and lift-off area perimeter lights shall be fixed omnidirectional lights showing green. 5.3.8.14 At a surface level heliport, ASPSL or LPs shall emit green light when used to define the perimeter of the touchdown and lift-off area. 5.3.8.15 The provisions of 5.3.8.13 and 5.3.8.14 shall not require the replacement of existing installations before 1 January 2009. 5.3.8.16 Recommendation.— The chromaticity and luminance of colours of LPs should conform to Annex 14, Volume I, Appendix 1, 3.4. 5.3.8.17 An LP shall have a minimum width of 6 cm. The panel housing shall be the same colour as the marking it defines. 5.3.8.18 Recommendation.— The perimeter lights should not exceed a height of 25 cm and should be inset when a light extending above the surface could endanger helicopter operations. 5.3.8.19 Recommendation.— When located within the safety area of a heliport or within the obstacle free sector of a helideck, the touchdown and lift-off area floodlights should not exceed a height of 25 cm. 5.3.8.20 The LPs shall not extend above the surface by more than 2.5 cm. 5.3.8.21 Recommendation.— The light distribution of the perimeter lights should be as shown in Figure 5-9, Illustration 6. 5.3.8.22 Recommendation.— The light distribution of the LPs should be as shown in Figure 5-9, Illustration 7. 5.3.8.23 The spectral distribution of touchdown and liftoff area floodlights shall be such that the surface and obstacle marking can be correctly identified. 5.3.8.24 Recommendation.— The average horizontal illuminance of the floodlighting should be at least 10 lux, with a uniformity ratio (average to minimum) of not more than 8:1 measured on the surface of the touchdown and lift-off area. 5.3.8.25 Recommendation.— Lighting used to identify the touchdown marking should comprise a segmented circle of omnidirectional ASPSL strips showing yellow. The segments should consist of ASPSL strips, and the total length of the ASPSL strips should not be less than 50 per cent of the circumference of the circle. 5.3.8.26 Recommendation.— If utilized, the heliport identification marking lighting should be omnidirectional showing green. 5.3.9 Winching area floodlighting Application 5.3.9.1 Winching area floodlighting shall be provided at a winching area intended for use at night. Location 5.3.9.2 Winching area floodlights shall be located so as to avoid glare to pilots in flight or to personnel working on the area.

Characteristics 5.3.9.3 The spectral distribution of winching area floodlights shall be such that the surface and obstacle markings can be correctly identified. 25/11/04 No. 3 2007/70/II. szám Annex 14 — Aerodromes Volume II 9/11/95 5.3.9.4 Recommendation.— The average horizontal illuminance should be at least 10 lux, measured on the surface of the winching area. 5.3.10 Taxiway lights Note.— The specifications for taxiway centre line lights and taxiway edge lights in Annex 14, Volume I, 5.3.16 and 5.3.17 are equally applicable to taxiways intended for ground taxiing of helicopters. 5.3.11 Visual aids for denoting obstacles Note.— The specifications for marking and lighting of obstacles included in Annex 14, Volume I, Chapter 6, are equally applicable to heliports and winching areas. 5.3.12 Floodlighting of obstacles Application 5.3.12.1 At a heliport intended for use at night, obstacles shall be floodlighted if it is not possible to display obstacle lights on them. Location 5.3.12.2 Obstacle floodlights shall be arranged so as to illuminate the entire obstacle and as far as practicable in a manner so as not to dazzle the helicopter pilots. Characteristics 5.3.12.3 Recommendation.— Obstacle floodlighting should be such as to produce a luminance of at least 10 cd/m2. 25/11/04 No. 3 2007/70/II. szám ANNEX 14 — VOLUME II 9/11/95 ANNEX 14 — VOLUME II 9/11/95 CHAPTER 6. HELIPORT SERVICES 6.1 Rescue and fire fighting General Introductory Note.— These specifications apply to surface level heliports and elevated heliports only. The specifications complement those in Annex 14, Volume I, 9.2 concerning rescue and fire fighting requirements at aerodromes. The principal objective of a rescue and fire fighting service is to save lives. For this reason, the provision of means of dealing with a helicopter accident or incident occurring at or in the immediate vicinity of a heliport assumes primary importance because it is within this area that there are the greatest opportunities of saving lives. This must assume at all times the possibility of, and need for, extinguishing a fire which may occur either immediately following a helicopter accident or incident or at any time during rescue operations. The most important factors bearing on effective rescue in a survivable helicopter accident are the training received, the effectiveness of the equipment and the speed with which personnel and equipment designated for rescue and fire fighting purposes can be put into use. For an elevated heliport, requirements to protect any building or structure on which the heliport is located are not taken into account. Rescue and fire fighting requirements for helidecks may be found in the Heliport Manual. Level of protection to be provided 6.1.1 Recommendation.— The level of protection to be provided for rescue and fire fighting should be based on the over-all length of the longest helicopter normally using the heliport and in accordance with the heliport fire fighting category determined from Table 6-1, except at an unattended heliport with a low movement rate. Note.— Guidance to assist the appropriate authority in providing rescue and fire fighting equipment and services at surface-level and elevated heliports is given in the Heliport Manual. 6.1.2 Recommendation.— During anticipated periods of operations by smaller helicopters, the heliport fire fighting category may be reduced to that of the highest category of helicopter planned to use the heliport during that time. Extinguishing agents 6.1.3 Recommendation.— The principal extinguishing agent should be a foam meeting the minimum performance level B. Note.— Information on the required physical properties and fire extinguishing performance criteria needed for a foam to achieve an acceptable performance level B rating is given in the Airport Services Manual, Part 1. 6.1.4 Recommendation.— The amounts of water for foam production and the complementary agents to be provided should be in accordance with the heliport fire fighting category determined under 6.1.1 and Table 6-2 or Table 6-3 as appropriate. Note.— The amounts of water specified for elevated heliports do not have to be stored on or adjacent to the heliport if there is a suitable adjacent pressurized water main system capable of sustaining the required discharge rate. 6.1.5 Recommendation.— At a surface-level heliport it is permissible to replace all or part of the amount of water for foam production by complementary agents. 6.1.6 Recommendation.— The discharge rate of the foam solution should not be less than the rates shown in Table 6-2 or Table 6-3 as appropriate. The discharge rate of complementary agents should be selected for optimum effectiveness of the agent used. 6.1.7 Recommendation.— At an elevated heliport, at least one hose spray line capable of delivering foam in a jet Table 6-1. Heliport fire fighting category Category Helicopter over-all lengtha H1 up to but not including 15 m H2 from 15 m up to but not including 24 m H3 from 24 m up to but not including 35 m a. Helicopter length, including the tail boom and the rotors. 2007/70/II. szám Annex 14 — Aerodromes Volume II 9/11/95 spray pattern at 250 L/min should be provided. Additionally at elevated heliports in categories 2 and 3, at least two monitors should be provided each having a capability of achieving the required discharge rate and positioned at different locations around the heliports so as to ensure the application of foam to any part of the heliport under any weather condition and to minimize the possibility of both monitors being impaired by a helicopter accident. Rescue equipment 6.1.8 Recommendation.— At an elevated heliport rescue equipment should be stored adjacent to the heliport. Note.— Guidance on the rescue equipment to be provided at a heliport is given in the Heliport Manual. Response time 6.1.9 Recommendation.— At a surface-level heliport, the operational objective of the rescue and fire fighting service should be to achieve response times not exceeding two minutes in optimum conditions of visibility and surface conditions. Note.— Response time is considered to be the time between the initial call to the rescue and fire fighting service and the time when the first responding vehicle(s) (the service) is (are) in position to apply foam at a rate of at least 50 per cent of the discharge rate specified in Table 6-2. 6.1.10 Recommendation.— At an elevated heliport, the rescue and fire fighting service should be immediately available on or in the vicinity of the heliport while helicopter movements are taking place.
