ICAO AN 14 - Vol. 2:2013 PDF Download

ICAO Annex 14 - Aerodromes - Volume II - Heliports is a standard that provides specifications for the physical characteristics and obstacle limitation surfaces required at heliports. It also includes guidelines for the provision of certain facilities and technical services at a heliport. The standard aims to ensure the safe and efficient operation of helicopters at heliports by prescribing the necessary infrastructure and operational procedures.

The standard does not regulate or limit the operation of aircraft themselves, but rather focuses on the design and construction of heliports. When designing a heliport, the specifications consider the largest and heaviest helicopter that the heliport is intended to serve. This ensures that the heliport can accommodate the critical design helicopter's dimensions and maximum take-off mass.

It is important to note that specific regulations for helicopter flight operations are outlined in Annex 6, Part III of the ICAO. Therefore, the standards and specifications provided in Annex 14 - Volume II should be considered in conjunction with the regulations and guidelines provided in Annex 6 - Part III for comprehensive heliport operations.
