For most private fliers, the ability to drive to a nearby airport and board a waiting business jet affords sufficient convenience. But what if the nearest airport isn’t all that near and you often need to take off on short notice, perhaps for places that are themselves not near airports? In that case, adding a heliport to your home could make sense. Here’s what you’d need to consider before undertaking such a project.
First, you’d have to determine whether you have the right kind of property. While helicopters are designed to operate from relatively tiny spaces, climbing straight up and landing straight down requires extraordinary power and leaves little margin for safety, especially when a full load of passengers and baggage is aboard. It’s far safer to climb out at an angle or approach to land along a descending slope because the extra speed improves the odds of a successful power-off touchdown in case of engine failure.
Generally, a heliport needs an eight-to-one sloped approach and departure flight path.
The FAA doesn’t prohibit helicopters from operating most places, so you should be able to land one in your backyard if you can do so safely. And no law says you have to build a helipad to land. The regulations do, however, “require notification to the FAA for any permanent landing area; private versus public use does not matter,” according to FAA airports airspace specialist Angie Muder. City, county and state requirements may present greater obstacles, so be sure to check these, too.
We design and build helipads for commercial and residential buildings, government installations and hospitals. The design of these helipads follows the relevant Civil Aviation Code of the country of installation.
No concept is impossible.
