Takeoff path : Climb at V

to the desired alti-
tude.
NOTE
For operations on elevated helipad, when obstacles and weather
conditions permit, select a takeoff direction that allows the best use of
available external cues, which may ease the possible reject manoeuvre.
In case of wind consider the turbolence and down draft effects around
the pad.
MODIFIED TAKEOFF FLIGHT PATH FROM GROUND BASED
HELIPAD TO CLEAR HIGH OBSTACLES (INCREASED TDP)
(Fig 2-8A)
The following procedure applies to all those circumstances in which obstacles in
the close surroundings of the helipad require to increase the standard TDP height.
The procedure does not depend on the location of the obstacle along the takeoff
path, since it assures each point on the flight path, after the TDP, to stay at least
35 ft above the obstacle.
