operations, local building codes may require structures over a specified height to provide a clear area on the roof capable of accommodating a helicopter. Since the cleared area is not intended to function as a heliport, there is no requirement to submit an FAA Form 7480-1. As in the case of medical emergency sites, proponents of emergency evacuation facilities should advise the local Air Traffic Control Tower ATCT of the facility. The landing surface should be developed to the local fire department requirements based on the size and weight of the helicopters expected to engage in fire or rescue operations see Figure 1-4. Refer to Chapter 4, Hospital Heliports to additional guidance for planning and constructing rooftop emergency facilities. The following markings are recommended to identify the limits of the landing area and to alert the pilot to any weight limitation. Arrows may be used to indicate the preferred direction of approach. Markings should be in a color red or orange is suggested that provides the greatest possible contrast to the roof coloration. 1 Perimeter Marking. A solid 12-inch wide 30 cm wide red or orange line should define the limits of the touchdown pad as illustrated in Figure 1-4. For safe operation, clearance is required between the helicopter’s main and tail rotor blades and any object that could be struck by these blades. This clearance should be one third of the rotor diameter RD of the largest helicopter expected but not less than 20 feet 6.1 m. 2 Weight Limitation. Any limitation on allowable weight should be placed in the center of the circle as viewed from the preferred direction of approach. Weight limitations should be stated in units of 1,000 pounds as illustrated in Figure 1-4. A 9 indicates a weight-carrying capability of up to 9,000 pounds. Metric equivalents should NOT be used for this purpose. Appendix 3 shows the form and proportions for the layout of these numbers. To assure early recognition of a weight limit, the numerals should be a minimum of 5 feet 1.52 m high.106. MEDICAL EMERGENCY SITES. Medical
