Helipads/Helidecks

Helicopters add most value when they operate on a point-to-point basis, whether on land or to and from Super Yachts; Starspeed naturally offers a consultancy service to advise on helipad and helideck operations and construction. To operate safely, differing sizes and types of helicopter have a wide variety of helipad requirements, and there are a huge range of legal specifications. On land this encompasses everything from the size of area to the firmness of ground to the surrounding obstacles. For ships at sea the criteria are equally (if not more) varied and numerous owing to the extra complications of operating from a moving landing-site. In addition, if night operations are required, this will require specialist helipad/helideck lighting. Starspeed has experience in all of these fields, having the capability to survey potential helipads, and offer an advisory service on the most cost effective options.

If you are purchasing a super-yacht or adding a helipad to a property, contacting Starspeed in the early stages will save you considerable time, effort and money – added to which we can then dovetail the purchase and management of the helicopter.
