Which term denotes the area designated for helicopter landing and takeoff?

• A. Heliport
• B. Indicated Airspeed
• C. IFR Conditions
• D. IFR Over-the-Top

Answer: (A)

A heliport is a designated facility for rotorcraft operations, providing a landing and takeoff area for helicopters and often including related services and access. The term specifically applied to where helicopters can operate from, and it encompasses the landing surface as well as the surrounding infrastructure. The other terms relate to things different from a landing area: indicated airspeed is the speed shown on the airspeed indicator, IFR conditions describe weather requiring instrument flight rules, and IFR Over-the-Top refers to a flight planning concept, not a landing area designation.
