Type of Helicopter

Sikorsky S76C+

Potential helicopter types: Sikorsky S76C+, Sikorsky S92, Aerospatiale AS355N Ecureuil (Twin Squirrel), Bell AB139, etc.

Note: (1) Based on the frequency of helicopter movements obtained from the existing helicopter operator at MFT Helipad.

(2) As a worst case scenario, the operation hours are from 0800 – 2259 and maximum capacity of 8 movement per hour per helipad are assumed.
