Be careful of such mistakes! Is your hospital helipad okay? [We will introduce plenty of examples]
If you don't confirm with a reliable aviation consultant in advance, you might end up with a "helipad that cannot be landed on." Even if you invest over 100 million yen to build one, there are many helipads across Japan that cannot actually be used. One pilot attempted to land on a rooftop landing facility but was buffeted by strong crosswinds before landing. The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) strongly recommends raising the landing surface of rooftop helipads above the deck and ensuring an escape route for building winds below the landing surface. 【Examples of Failures (Excerpt)】 ■ Attempted to land on a rooftop landing facility but was buffeted by strong crosswinds before landing. ■ Built a facility where the helicopter lands directly on the rooftop floor, but it is extremely noisy. ■ Requested the installation of a landing facility for doctor helicopters, but what was created was an emergency takeoff and landing site. ■ While daytime use is not a problem, it cannot accommodate emergency patients arriving after sunset, which is expected to increase in the future. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information
【Other Examples of Failures】 ■ Due to the lack of horizontal transport equipment, critically ill patients are being carried up the stairs on stretchers. ■ The floor was made of steel plates, which caused cracking due to thermal expansion in the summer, resulting in significant unevenness on the helipad surface, preventing helicopter landings. ■ Over 10 million yen was spent on a consultant fee to establish a non-public helipad, but operational issues led to conflicts with residents, and it is currently unusable. ■ The hospital helipad mark was not indicated, making it difficult to locate from the air. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Contributing to the safety of the skies The beginning of Aero Facility dates back to the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake (January 17, 1995). The damage caused by the earthquake, which recorded a magnitude of 7, was immense, and many may remember the broadcast footage from news helicopters. The founder, who inspected the Kobe heliport at that time, witnessed the apron turned into a quagmire due to liquefaction, buildings warped and unable to open their shutters, and helicopters that, while intact, could not be taken out of the hangar. From the founder's belief that there should be no heliport that cannot be used during a disaster, Aero Facility was established with the aim of "contributing to the safety of the skies and protecting the peace and safety of society." Aero Facility primarily focuses on heliport construction and aircraft sales. The 30 U.S.-made helicopters supplied to the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force are currently active as training aircraft for pilots involved in air defense. The number of aluminum deck heliports constructed, designed with safety as the top priority, boasts the highest record in the country with over 100 locations nationwide. Aero Facility will continue to contribute to the safety of the skies with professional proposals.
