Juan Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Our client want us to design a Helipat with rocks around the pad area. He suggested 3" rocks. I am not a pilot but reading some histories I was wondering If having rock even 4" can become projectiles during takeoff and landing. Any suggestion/comments/advise? Quote
vertrefadmin Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I would suggest posting this in the General Forum as well Quote
choppaguy84 Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 The heavier the rocks are, the better. Depends on the aircraft used as well. Rocks aren't exactly wind sails. Quote
Hobie Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Your drawing shows some kind of flat flagstone mortared in. I like that better than river rock as I would be a problem if a loose stone ended up on the pad during a landing. Quote
