Rotary-Wing Runway, Surfaced
A paved airfield or heliport surface provided for the exclusive use of rotary-wing
takeoffs and landings. Marked surfaces used as reference or control points for
arriving and departing aircraft (hoverpoints) are part of the runway. From an

shoulders, overruns plus various cleared areas and airspace. For inventory purposes,
only the prepared runway surface is included.
Basic dimensions are 23 m [75 ft] wide, 490 m [1,600 ft] long. A runway may be
provided when helicopter companies are authorized at heliports at Army airfields

rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft.
