(1) It is intended that the following reference materials be used in conjunction with this document:.

(1) This document applies to all Canadian heliport operators, heliport designers, Transport Canada Civil Aviation ( TCCA) Headquarters and regional personnel, and helicopter operators operating into certified heliports.Ģ.0 References and requirements 2.1 Reference documents.

(3) The AC also provides guidance on acceptable means of fire protection on a rooftop heliport and how these means of fire protection can be tested to verify compliance with the standards.

(2) Guidance is provided concerning the design and composition of rooftop heliport surfaces and support structure with regards to fire protection.(1) The purpose of this document is to reiterate the heliport standards associated with rooftop heliport fire protection as detailed in the Canadian Aviation Regulations ( CAR) 325 and provide clarification concerning heliport physical design characteristics associated with rooftop heliports.In some cases recommendations and/or best practices are suggested. This AC on its own does not change, create, amend or permit deviations from regulatory requirements, nor does it establish minimum standards. It describes an example of an acceptable means, but not the only means, of demonstrating compliance with regulations and standards.

(1) This Advisory Circular ( AC) is provided for information and guidance purposes.
