1.3 Positioning of landing area

  1.3.1 Helicopter landing areas should be located on an upper deck. The landing areas should consist of an outer manoeuvring zone and a clear zone. It is important that, whenever possible, the clear zone should be close to the ship's side.

  1.3.2 The first requirement is to identify a location where there is clear access to the operating area and the exit to the ship's side.

  1.3.3 Once that location has been identified, the second requirement is to establish the best position within the area for the manoeuvring zone that will give the largest clear zone.
