Cheapskatepilot Posted December 2 Posted December 2 (edited) To (try) and keep this simple, assume a pilot lands a helicopter with: 1. A controlling dimension of 42 feet on the left helipad below - despite the max size being marked as 40 feet. 2. A gross weight of 11,000 lbs, (it weighs 11K at the time) despite the max weight being marked as 8,000 pounds. Now: A. Does the pilot get in trouble? B. Are the markings regulatory or enforceable? Only asking because the AC containing all the information about helipad design says that the markings and "THIS AC" has no applicability under title 14 because of the exceptions for heliports.
