Demanda por falta de iluminación y defectos en el helipuerto
Helicopters are a stylish and useful way to transport severely injured people from an accident scene, to an urgent care clinic or hospital for emergency services. Helicopters can also be used for entertainment, to show someone around a major city or scenic area by air. The helicopters can also be useful to take someone of means to an airport quickly, to catch a private flight or even a commercial flight if necessary.
Helipads Are Different than HeliportsA helipad is a helicopter pad that is constructed and built on the ground or on the rooftop of a building. A heliport is just like an airport, but for helicopters. The services that are available at a full-service heliport are not going to be available at a helipad. The helipad is not a temporary structure, but it is a different structure when compared to a heliport. The helipad needs to have an increased amount of lighting to allow a pilot to land there safely. If this increased lighting is not there, and there are other issues with the helipad, it may be defective and a dangerous place for a helicopter to land with passengers.
Helicopters Are Notorious for Having Nighttime Landing AccidentsA pilot in a helicopter landing at night may have trouble seeing where to land safely on a helipad in the night time. Many accidents have occurred because a helicopter pilot was unable to properly see the helipad to land because of lack of lighting. There are many dangerous issues that can occur to the helicopter with a lack of lighting or a defective helipad, such as with a:
- Hard landing
- Forced landing
- Prórroga
- Loss of engine power
- Airframe malfunction
- Component failure
- System failure
- Loss of total engine power
- Loss of control of the helicopter
- Total mechanical failure
Statistics show that the hard landing and forced landing are the two highest daytime hazards for a helicopter landing, followed closely by the rollover event for a helicopter. In the nighttime, the most hazardous events are a forced landing, hard landing, followed by a rollover and a system variety of malfunctions. Another unhighlighted issues is that if the helicopter does not maintain the proper rotor revolutions per minute (RPM), there is a higher likelihood of a crash in those instances. This instance will occur with pilot inexperience, or with pilot error in managing the helicopter and its functions.
When a pilot lands on a helipad with a lack of lighting and where there is a defect, you can expect a recipe for disaster to happen.

When a helicopter is expected to land on a helipad that is situated on top of a high-rise building, there will be inherent problems with this scenario. If that helipad has a lack of lighting and a defect, there is a high likelihood that a serious accident will take place in that situation.
The helicopter does not just land on the building on the roof, pick up passengers, then take off again. There are many physical and physics related environmental issues that come into play, just for the helicopter to land, let alone take off again! For example, when a helicopter lands on a helipad on the roof of a building, there will be rotor wake interactions that will usually affect the helicopter.
