Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any relation between the size of the helicopter and the landing pad, or is it a specific ?
The landing pad size for a helicopter is that it has to be larger than the rotor blade diameter plus the tailrotor diameter and the depth of the pad meaning the height of the trees surrounding the landing area. Next you have the weight and power remaining to determine.
E.g. if the helicopter is light, has alot of reserve power, and has to hover down into 50 foot tall trees with only 3 feet of clearance between the blades and the trees, it would fit. If the helicopter is heavy with payload and unable to hover out of ground effect the helicopter would not even attempt.
