§ 3-71. Helicopter operations on airport property.

The director may require, at his discretion, helicopter operators who conduct regular operations on airport property to submit a written plan detailing how they will safely operate into and out of their proposed landing site on airport property. The director may choose to conduct a safety risk assessment (SRA), jointly lead by the aviation department and the helicopter operator, of the proposed landing site to determine if any safety issues exist. The findings of the SRA will then be submitted to the helicopter operator for consideration and, if required by the director, corrective action. The director may require that the hazards identified in the SRA be mitigated prior to allowing the helicopter operation to begin. The director may require the helicopter operator to establish a heliport in compliance with FAA Advisory Circular 150 150/5390-2 (current edition) Heliport Design if he deems necessary.
