## Helicopter Operations
73
+
Archerfield has three helipads located around the aerodrome:
74
+
75
+
-**Central Helipad**, on the southern side of Taxiway Foxtrot
76
+
-**Northern Helipad**, adjacent the north-eastern end of Runway 04R/22L
77
+
- The **Queensland Government Air facility** used by rescue helicopters, north of Taxiway B5
78
+
79
+
!!! note
80
+
Both the **Northern** and **Central** helipads are inside the maneuvering area and treated like a runway, requiring a takeoff and landing clearance from AF ADC. Helicopters operating on other surfaces outside the maneuvering areas should be instructed to *"report airborne"* or *"report on the ground"* so the controllers knows when they are active/no longer active in their airspace.
81
+
82
+
### Training Areas
83
+
There are 3 designated helicopter training areas which can be used for training operations in ground effect and circuits. The active helicopter training area shall be nominated on the [ATIS](#helicopter-area).
| Area A | North of Taxiway B within the confines of the aerodrome boundary, clear of all buildings | Not above `A005`| 3 helicopters in the circuit area, and additionally<br>2 helicopters in ground effect |
88
+
| Area B | North and west of Runway 04L within the confines of the aerodrome boundary, clear of all buildings | Not above `A005`| 3 helicopters in the circuit area, and additionally<br>2 helicopters in ground effect |
89
+
| Area C | South and east of Taxiway D, inside the fixed wing circuit for Runway 04R/22L, east of the control tower<br>*All landings to be conducted north of Taxiway B*| Not above `A008`| 2 helicopters |

With **Runways 28 or 10** in use and a large number of helicopters operating in **Area A**, it may be beneficial to instead utilise both **Areas B & C** concurrently.

102

Helicopters depart the zone via any of the [designated outbound routes](#vfr-departure-procedures). Departures shall be parallel to and clear of the duty runways.

+
#### Uni Departure
105
+
Departures with intended entry into BN CTR northbound shall depart the zone via the **Uni Departure**. Aircraft on the Uni Departure depart via UQLD at `A010`, then contact BN TCU for airways clearance. No heads-up coordination with BN TCU is required.

If necessary, helicopters may be instructed to overfly the runway complex not below `A005` for a short circuit to the designated HLS.
Helicopters inbound for the Queensland Government Air facility HLS shall be issued a standard fixed wing circuit instruction for the applicable duty runway, complying with fixed wing operations unless another approach is requested or desired.
