Site Selection

Non-airport Heliport Siting

The location of the station should be outside of hover and taxi operations. For medium-weight 
helicopters, 100 ft separation from the landing site may be adequate to avoid affects to the 
weather sensors from rotor downwash and dust.

Ideal weather station placement. (FAA Order 6560.20B, Siting Criteria For Automated Weather 
Observing Systems(AWOS), 7/20/98)
