There are no -required- markings for a helicopter landing pad. Indeed helicopters are allowed to land anywhere on the airport they please (with permission from the tower if there is one)

When helipads are marked, it usually takes the form of a large white circle with a large white H in the center, sometimes marked with white or red lights.

What do you call the place where helicopter lands?

A "helipad" is a helicopter landing pad. The helipad provides a clearly marked hard surface away from obstacles for the helicopter to land.


Why do helicopters need a helicopter pad to land on?

Helicopters need a helicopter pad to land on to ensure a safe and designated area that is clear of obstacles and hazards. Helicopter pads are designed to accommodate the specific landing and takeoff requirements of helicopters, including rotor wash and space for maneuvering. Additionally, these pads often provide a stable surface, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and ensuring a smoother landing and takeoff experience.


Do you have to be able to swim to work on an oil rig?

Not always. If you get transferred by boat to the rig it might not be a requirement. If you work on rigs where you get transferred by helicopter, you will have to be able to at least swim from a helicopter body from 3 to 4 meters below the water surface to the surface. This might be the only time you will ever need to be able to swim in the unlikely event of a helicopter ditching into the sea. Other times there will always be flotation devices ready. There is a training course required for operations with helicopter transfers. It is called HUET (Helicopter Underwater Escape Training). During this course you will be placed in a helicopter fuselage and dropped into the water. Once it is submerged and settled, only then can you undo the seat belts and escape via door or window (depending where you sit in the helicopter) to the surface. You are not allowed to inflate a flotation/life vest until you reach the surface.


Why does a helicopter lose altitude when flying over a water surface?

When a helicopter flies close to a water surface, the air below the helicopter is disturbed by the movement of the rotor blades. This disturbance can affect the lift generated by the rotor blades, leading to a loss of altitude due to reduced lift. This phenomenon is known as "ground effect."

What is markings of Venus's?

Venus has a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds that give it a permanent, bright white appearance. It also has a highly reflective surface that can make it appear to be shining brightly in the sky. Venus does not have any visible surface markings like Mars, as its thick atmosphere obscures any details on its surface.
