(adequate visual cues)<br />

These extensions are only available with the vertical or back-up procedure<br />

There is sometimes a penalty when an elevated procedure (with the e same<br />

profile as a ground level helipad-procedure) procedure) is certificated - the reject<br />

surface is required to be greater because of the reduction of visual cues.<br />

A heliport is considered to be elevated when 3m above the surrounding<br />

area; clearly if a specific elevated heliport has a rich visual cue<br />

environment, discretion could be applied by the Authority.<br />

There is no additional requirement for power reserves if this<br />

judgement is exercised.
