Annex 14 Volume II - Principles

Standard: Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, matriel, performance,
personnel or procedure, the uniform application of which is recognized as necessary for the
safety or regularity of international air navigation and to which Contracting States will conform in
accordance with the Convention. The words "shall" are usually used for standards.
Recommended Practice: Any specification for physical characteristics, configuration, matriel,
performance, personnel or procedure, the uniform application of which is recognized as
desirable in the interest of safety, regularity or efficiency of international air navigation, and to
which Contracting States will endeavour to conform in accordance with the Convention. The
words "should" are usually used for recommendations.
Appendices comprising material grouped separately for convenience but forming part of the
Standards and Recommended Practices adopted by the Council.
Definitions of terms used in the Standards and Recommended Practices which are not selfexplanatory in that they do not have accepted dictionary meanings. A definition does not have
independent status but is an essential part of each Standard and Recommended Practice in
which the term is used, since a change in the meaning of the term would affect the
specifications.
Tables and Figures which add to or illustrate a Standard or Recommended Practice and which
are referred to therein, form part of the associated Standard or Recommended Practice and
have the same status.
Introductions comprising explanatory material introduced at the beginning of parts, chapters or
sections of the Annex to assist in the understanding of the application of the text.
Notes included in the text, where appropriate, to give factual information or references bearing
on the Standards or Recommended Practices in question, but not constituting part of the
Standards or Recommended Practices.
Attachments comprising material supplementary to the Standards and Recommended
Practices, or included as a guide to their application.
Heliport Manual (Doc 9261) - Principles
The manual not only enlarges upon some of the specifications in Annex 14, Volume II, as
necessary, but also provides guidance on aspects not dealt with in the Annex, e.g. site
selection, winching areas, underslung load operating areas, etc.
Users of this manual are advised that specifications related to helicopter operations in other
Annexes, for instance, Annex 6, Part 3, International Operations - Helicopters, may vary
somewhat from those specified in Annex 14, Volume II.
In such cases, the more demanding requirements should be applied. To assist users of this
manual, the characteristics of the majority of helicopter types currently in use have been
included in an Appendix.
Guidance material may offer alternate means of compliance with the standards, however in no
case can it over-ride a SARP.

Over the years Volume II has evolved as a
stand-alone Annex, however there are still a
number of cross-over sections.
Volume I includes a definition and
applicability requirement for helicopter
operations at Aerodromes.
Volume II states that definitions may be
contained in both annexes, has a similar
applicability statement and a general
statement regarding markings, markers &
lighting colours.
The majority of references are contained in
notes or standards within chapter 5, sections
5.2 and 5.3 and pertain to colours, intensities
and general specifications
Annex 14 Volume II Heliport SARPS

Chapter 1 General Notes
Annex 14, Volume II, contains Standards and Recommended Practices (specifications) that
prescribe the physical characteristics and obstacle limitation surfaces to be provided for at
heliports, and certain facilities and technical services normally provided at a heliport.
It is not intended that these specifications limit or regulate the operation of an aircraft.
When designing a heliport, the critical design helicopter, having the largest set of dimensions
and the greatest maximum take-off mass (MTOM) the heliport is intended to serve, would need
to be considered.
It is to be noted that provisions for helicopter flight operations are contained in Annex 6, Part III.
The dimensions discussed in this Annex are based on consideration of single-main-rotor

helicopters. The specifications of the main chapters of this Annex are applicable for visual
heliports that may or may not incorporate the use of a Point-in-space approach or departure.
Additional specifications for instrument heliports with non-precision and/or precision
approaches and instrument departures are detailed in Appendix 2..
10
Annex 14 Volume II Definitions

D. The largest overall dimension of the helicopter when rotor(s) are turning measured from the
most forward position of the main rotor tip path plane to the most rearward position of the tail
rotor tip path plane or helicopter structure.
Note. D is sometimes referred to in the text using the terminology D-value.
Dynamic load-bearing surface. A surface capable of supporting the loads generated by a
helicopter conducting an emergency touchdown on it.
Elevated heliport. A heliport located on a raised structure on land.
Final approach and take-off area (FATO). A defined area over which the final phase of the
approach manoeuvre to hover or landing is completed and from which the take-off manoeuvre
is commenced. Where the FATO is to be used by helicopters operated in performance class 1,
the defined area includes the rejected take-off area available.
11
Rejected take-off area. A defined area on a heliport suitable for helicopters operating in
performance class 1 to complete a rejected take-off.
Runway-type FATO. A FATO having characteristics similar in shape to a runway.
Safety area. A defined area on a heliport surrounding the FATO which is free of obstacles,
other than those required for air navigation purposes, and intended to reduce the risk of
damage to helicopters accidentally diverging from the FATO.
Static load-bearing surface. A surface capable of supporting the mass of a helicopter situated
upon it.
Touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF). An area on which a helicopter may touch down or lift off.
UCL/UCW. Undercarriage length or undercarriage width.

Annex 14 Volume II Applicability & Certification

1.2.2 The specifications in Annex 14, Volume II, shall apply to all heliports intended to be used
by helicopters in international civil aviation. They shall apply equally to areas for the exclusive
use of helicopters at an aerodrome primarily meant for the use of aeroplanes. Where relevant,
the provisions of Annex 14, Volume I, shall apply to the helicopter operations being conducted
at such an aerodrome.
Much discussion has occurred at the Aerodrome Design and Operations Panel (ADOP) with
regards to the exclusivity of this standard. The general consensus within the ADOP and from
the Legal Bureau of ICAO is that states can voluntarily apply the SARPS to all heliports
including those used for domestic operations. Many states already do this.
Applicability can apply to a large group of heliports in a general sense whereas certification is
the state process by which applicability is confirmed. The certification process confirms
compliance with specific SARPS. The process may be risk-based reviewing location, type of
operations, number of movements or complexity of the operations.
Annex14 Volume II has no SARPS for establishing a certification program. The Heliport Design
Working Group (HDWG) has been tasked by the ANC and ADOP to develop SARPS and
guidance based upon the process detailed in Volume I and the Manual on Certification of
Aerodromes (Doc 9774).
14
Excerpt from Annex 14 Volume I Certification of Aerodromes
The intent of these specifications is to ensure the establishment of a regulatory regime so that compliance
with the specifications in this Annex can be effectively enforced. It is recognized that the methods of
ownership, operation and surveillance of aerodromes differ among States.
The most effective and transparent means of ensuring compliance with applicable specifications is the
availability of a separate safety oversight entity and a well-defined safety oversight mechanism with support
of appropriate legislation to be able to carry out the function of safety regulation of aerodromes.
When an aerodrome is granted a certificate, it signifies to aircraft operators and other organizations operating
on the aerodrome that, at the time of certification, the aerodrome meets the specifications regarding the
facility and its operation, and that it has, according to the certifying authority, the capability to maintain these
specifications for the period of validity of the certificate.
The certification process also establishes the baseline for continued monitoring of compliance with the
specifications. Information on the status of certification of aerodromes would need to be provided to the
appropriate aeronautical information services for promulgation in the Aeronautical Information Publication
(AIP).
15
Annex 14 Volume I chapter 1 - 'Certification' SARPS

1.4.2 Recommendation. States should certify aerodromes open to public use in accordance with these
specifications as well as other relevant ICAO specifications through an appropriate regulatory framework.
1.4.3 The regulatory framework shall include the establishment of criteria and procedures for the certification
of aerodromes.
Note. Guidance on a regulatory framework is given in the Manual on Certification of Aerodromes (Doc
9774).
1.4.4 As part of the certification process, States shall ensure that an aerodrome manual which will include all
pertinent information on the aerodrome site, facilities, services, equipment, operating procedures,
organization and management including a safety management system, is submitted by the applicant for
approval/acceptance prior to granting the aerodrome certificate.
Note. The intent of a safety management system is to have in place an organized and orderly approach in
the management of aerodrome safety by the aerodrome operator. Annex 19 Safety Management contains
the safety management provisions applicable to certified aerodromes. Guidance on an aerodrome safety
management system is given in the Safety Management Manual (SMM) (Doc 9859) and in the Manual on
Certification of Aerodromes (Doc 9774).
16
This manual is geared towards establishing regulatory

certification procedures for land aerodromes in
accordance with Annex 14 Volume I.

Annex 6 Part III contains a number

of definitions and detailed criteria
concerning performance class
operations that have relevance in
chapter 3, 4 and 5 of the Heliport
SARPS.
24
Definitions
Congested area. In relation to a city, town or settlement, any area which is substantially used for residential,
commercial or recreational purposes.
Congested hostile environment. A hostile environment within a congested area.
Hostile environment. An environment in which:
a) a safe forced landing cannot be accomplished because the surface and surrounding environment are
inadequate; or
b) the helicopter occupants cannot be adequately protected from the elements; or
c) search and rescue response/capability is not provided consistent with anticipated exposure; or
d) there is an unacceptable risk of endangering persons or property on the ground.
Non-congested hostile environment. A hostile environment outside a congested area.
Non-hostile environment. An environment in which:
a) a safe forced landing can be accomplished because the surface and surrounding environment are
adequate;
b) the helicopter occupants can be adequately protected from the elements;
c) search and rescue response/capability is provided consistent with anticipated exposure; and
d) the assessed risk of endangering persons or property on the ground is acceptable.
Note. Those parts of a congested area satisfying the above requirements are considered non-hostile.
25
Landing decision point (LDP). The point used in determining landing performance from
which, an engine failure occurring at this point, the landing may be safely continued or a balked
landing initiated.
Note. LDP applies only to helicopters operating in performance Class 1.
Take-off decision point (TDP). The point used in determining take-off performance from
which, an engine failure occurring at this point, either a rejected take-off may be made or a
take-off safely continued.
Note. TDP applies only to helicopters operating in performance Class 1.
Defined point after take-off (DPATO). The point, within the take-off and initial climb phase,
before which the helicopters ability to continue the flight safely, with one engine inoperative, is
not assured and a forced landing may be required.
Note. Defined points apply to helicopters operating in performance Class 2 only.
Defined point before landing (DPBL). The point, within the approach and landing phase, after
which the helicopters ability to continue the flight safely, with one engine inoperative, is not
assured and a forced landing may be required.
Note. Defined points apply to helicopters operating in performance Class 2 only.
26
Operations in performance Class 1. Operations with performance such that, in the event of a
critical engine failure, performance is available to enable the helicopter to safely continue the
flight to an appropriate landing area, unless the failure occurs prior to reaching the take-off
decision point (TDP) or after passing the landing decision point (LDP), in which cases the
helicopter must be able to land within the rejected take-off or landing area.
Operations in performance Class 2. Operations with performance such that, in the event of
critical engine failure, performance is available to enable the helicopter to safely continue the
flight to an appropriate landing area, except when the failure occurs early during the take-off
manoeuvre or late in the landing manoeuvre, in which cases a forced landing may be required.
Operations in performance Class 3. Operations with performance such that, in the event of
an engine failure at any time during the flight, a forced landing will be required.
VTOSS (VTOSS). The minimum speed at which climb shall be achieved with the critical engine
inoperative, the remaining engines operating within approved operating limits.
27
Category A. With respect to helicopters, means a multi-engined helicopter designed with

engine and system isolation features specified in Annex 8, Part IVB, and capable of operations
using take-off and landing data scheduled under a critical engine failure concept which assures
adequate designated surface area and adequate performance capability for continued safe
flight or safe rejected take-off.
Annex 6 part 3 - Attachment A

Section 4.1.1.4 Backup procedures (or procedures with lateral transition)
An operator should ensure that, with the critical engine inoperative, all obstacles below the
backup flight path (the lateral flight path) are cleared by an adequate margin. Only the
obstacles specified in 2.4.2 should be considered.
