	Heliport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A heliport is a small airport suitable only for use by helicopters.
		Heliports typically contain one or more helipads and may have limited facilities such as fuel, lighting, a windsock, or even hangars.
		Generally heliports can be situated closer to a town or city centre than an airport, which gives advantages in terms of travel time to many urban destinations.

		This minimal facility may be adequate as a private use heliport, and may even suffice as the initial phase in the development of a public use heliport capable of serving the general aviation segment of the helicopter community.
		Heliport sites may be adjacent to a river or a lake, a railroad, a freeway, or a highway, all of which offer the potential for multi- functional land usage.
		The heliport owner or operator should ensure that all pilots using the facility are thoroughly knowledgeable of any such situations at the heliport and of the alternative means that are being used to ensure the safety and security of the facility.
