Heliport Planning and Evaluation Course Offered by Transportation Safety Institute

A Heliport Planning and Evaluation Course is being offered by the U.S. DOT Transportation Safety Institute on September 12-14, 2023, in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the Embassy Suites.

The three-day Heliport Design course is designed to provide attendees with an understanding of the evaluation process and the skills necessary to complete an evaluation of a proposed or existing heliport. The instruction is offered by Pilots and FAA Inspectors experienced in heliport evaluations and operations.

Instruction includes both classroom lecture and several “hands-on” practical exercises. The course includes a detailed review of the evaluation criteria, worksheets, and administrative tools available to the inspector, preparation of the evaluation report, and hands-on instruction in the operation of the tools used in the typical evaluation. The training culminates in the evaluation of a ground-based and local heliport.
