CURRENT STATUS
Updated Annex 14 Volume II – Heliports (Tranche 1)
.......... Issue July 2009:
................applicability date 19 November 2009!
Note: Some ‘helideck requirements’ have later applicability date of 2012
‘Tranche 2’ Changes approved at AP/2 October 2010 – to be review by ICAO Air Navigation Commission in March 2011 – State Letter to be issued June/July 2011. Aim to issue new Annex 14 Volume II – Heliports (Tranche 2) in July 2012.
ICAO HDWG planning to „start work‟ on completing
outstanding items later in 2011 – currently ‘on hold’ since no State as offered new HDWG Chair

Annex 14 STATUS
Heliports (including helidecks and shipboard heliports)
•Chapter 1: General (Definition) - main changes completed in ‘tranche 1’ - addition changes to be made in tranche 2 to cover ‘floating (pontoon) heliports’ etc., and to ensure requirements for VFM (VFR) heliports cover also heliports where an instrument
(PinS) approach is used].
•Chapter 2: Heliport Data – No changes considered necessary.
•Chapter 3: Physical Characteristics – main changes completed in ‘tranche 1’: some addition changes and new term ‘FATO/TLOF’ for elevated heliports and helidecks made in tranche 2.
•Chapter 4: Obstacle Restriction and Removal (Airspace) : Study completed for VFM (VFR) heliports - issued as part of tranche 2.
•Chapter 5: Visual Aids (Markings & Lighting) - minor changes issued in tranche 1 –changes to ‘markings’ issued as part of tranche 2, “lighting” still being ‘worked’ – changes to ‘lights’ to be made post-tranche 2.
•Chapter 6: Heliport Services (Fire Fighting) – being addressed by separate RFFWG
Leverton Associates International ICAO ‘Annex 14 Update’ Workshop – HAI HeliExpo 2011
a) Incorporation Certification and SMS requirements into Annex 14,Volume
II
b) Study of the „Applicability‟ of Annex 14, Volume II
c) Comprehensive revision of Annex 14, Volume II, Section 5.3, Lights
d) Review of „Airway Width‟ specifications for visual heliports and
development of specifications for heliports with instrument approaches and
departures.
e) Revised and updated guidance material for Doc 9261 Heliport Manual **
e) Comprehensive restructure of Annex 14, Volume II [The need for this is
being questioned by some States!]
** this is of major importance since Manual will detail how to apply ‘Annex 14 Volume II’

Note.— The dimensions discussed in this Annex are based on
consideration of single-main-rotor helicopters. For tandem-
rotor helicopters the heliport design will be based on a case-by-
case review of the specific models using the basic requirement
for a safety area and protection areas specified in this Annex.

US (FAA) AC150/5390-2B
FAA AC 150/5390-2B-2B (AC-2B) Heliport Design was issued on 9/30/04 (30 September 2004) and is available on a number of FAA and other web sites - the following is one useful web site to obtain the document:-
http://www.faa.gov/arp/publications/acs/5390-2/5390-2b.pdf
Hardcopies are NOT available from the FAA – they are available from a number of commercial suppliers at a fee.
NOTE: AC-2B is an ―Advisory Circular‖ i.e. Guidelines … but is a Requirement for heliports which are built using Federal Funds and is a Requirements in a number of the US States.

Annex 14/FAA
MAJOR DIFFERENCES
ICAO ANNEX 14 ~ FAA AC 150-5390-2B* • ANNEX 14 BASED ON “OPERATIONAL
PERFORMANCE” REQUIREMENTS (HELICOPTER PERFORMANCE CLASS) DEFINED IN ANNEX 6
• FAA AC-2B BASED ON HELIPORT TYPE (USE).
• Main Technical Differences • Load Bearing Area Size Requirements** • Airspace Requirements
*Issued by FAA in September 2004.
** Differences between „Annex 14 Vol II‟ and FAA AC-2B are, in practice,
considerably less as a result of the „tranche 1‟ changes.
Leverton Associates International ICAO ‘Annex 14 Update’ Workshop – HAI HeliExpo 2011
ELEVATED HELIPORTS
FATO AND TLOF are “coincidental”
(i.e. SAME SIZE – 1D or 0.83 D)… and FATO IS DLB.
DLB = Dynamic Load Bearing ** [Also applies to Helidecks]
In „tranche 2‟ new term FATO/TLOF introduced to cover elevated heliport and helidecks.
• *
** Currently difference in DLB requirements in FAA AC-2B and Annex 14:
FAA 1.5 x MTOW Annex 14 2.5 x MTOM
[Both applied through 2 points of contact.]
Note: covered in Heliport Manual – NOT addressed in Annex 14 – not reviewed to date by HDWG or any Sub-group.
ICAO/International MTOM (Max Takeoff Mass) = US MTOW (Max Takeoff Weight)

ICAO FRAMEWORK
• PPR (Private Use) Heliports Not Directly Considered In Annex 14 [Only Brief Reference To PPR Heliports Made In This Presentation]
• Annex 14 covers Hospital Heliports ** - Most European Nations consider Annex 14 Applies To All „Public Interest‟ Facilities including Hospital Heliports.
• “Europe” considers Hospital Heliports should be designed for Performance Class 1 operations – requirement of JAR OPS 3 …
... with a DLB Area (FATO + Safety area) of 2D
** US/FAA considers HOSPITAL HELIPORTS are essentially „PRIVATE USE‟
Leverton Associates International ICAO ‘Annex 14 Update’ Workshop – HAI HeliExpo 2011
GENERAL
• PC2 and PC3 Heliports in ICAO Annex 14
corresponds to General Aviation Heliport in FAA
AC.
• PC1 Heliport in ICAO Annex 14 is approximately
the same as Transport Heliport in FAA AC … but is
Annex 14 based on PC1/Cat A performance rather
than dimensions related to size of helicopter as in
FAA AC-2B: in this case Annex 14 generally less
demanding and more logical than FAA AC-2B!
