		Helipads are usually constructed out of concrete and are marked with a circle and/or a letter "H", so as to be visible from the air.
		Conversely, a helipad may also be located away from such facilities; for example, helipads are commonly placed on the roof of hospitals to facilitate MEDEVACs.
		Helipads are not always constructed out of concrete; sometimes forest fire fighters will construct a temporary helipad out of wood to receive supplies in remote areas.
