What Are Helipads and How Do They Work?
Helipads are areas on a ship or platform that are specifically designed to land and take off helicopters. These areas are typically flat, open spaces with a smooth surface, and may be marked with a centerline to help guide the pilot during landing. Helipads can be found on a variety of vessels, including military ships, oil rigs, and cruise ships. They are used for a variety of purposes, such as transporting personnel or cargo, conducting search and rescue operations, or providing medical evacuation services.
