Ever wondered what those markings might be on top of the helipad? The big red H on a 9 metre by 9 metre white cross always faces magnetic north. The name of the hospital and its aviation code identifier are always painted in white and also oriented to magnetic north. At bottom right of the H, the upper number refers to the maximum static take-off weight limit of the helicopter and the lower number is the maximum diameter of the main rotor width. A marking of 6.8 over 14 means the maximum weight of helicopters using the pad should be 6800 kg and their rotors no more than 14 metres across. Sometimes, a pad will have the words MRI, a distance and an arrow written in black. Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines can, in rare circumstances, cause temporary aberrations in the helicopter's magnetic compass, so it’s always important that the pilot is aware of the machine. The yellow directional lines are approach and departure flight path arrows. And the yellow and black stripes highlight the walkways for staff to approach and leave the helicopter. The more you know!
