C. Medical Use. 25. Current helicopters have a longer range over older models and therefore carry more fuel. Heavily industrialized areas, especially large industrial/commercial campuses, make good sites for potential landing areas, owing to the ambient sounds generated by the land uses and the lack of sensitive receptors generally found in residential areas. Many heliports support helicopters that patrol and repair critical power transmission lines, fight forest fires, manage national forests, and survey vast areas without the need for disturbing the environment. This compares very favorably to sounds already found in most neighborhoods. 0000004869 00000 n Many economic development agencies are also a source of potential funding.
