Eventide ARGUS 5000 - Heliports

have admitted WATER runways in the AMEND mode.
If you are flying an AMPHIBIOUS aircraft, ALL aiiports with runways that meet your
length and lighting criteria are depicted, regardless of runway type selection.
And, if you are flying a WATER-based aircraft, ONLY airports with water runways
that meet your length and lighting criteria are depicted.
Heliports
As with seaplane bases, heliports are not depicted graphically. Rather, a symbol (an
"H" in a triangle) is placed on the map at the location of the heliport. Information
about the heliport is available by the SELECT/INFO process. Note that although
multiple helipads may be available for the heliport in question, they are not depicted
graphically in Plan View mode.
Many airports are colocated with heliports and, of
course, runways are suitable for landing helicopters.
Occasionally helipads are listed in INFO as part of the
runway structure of an airport. This occurs when the
helipads are specifically called out in the FAA database.
In most cases, however, helipads are neither shown nor
listed when located on an airport.
If you are flying a helicopter, then the Argus should be
SETUP for "ROTARY WING" in aircraft type. Lest
you forget, the aircraft symbol is replaced by a
helicopter symbol. In the EMERgency mode, heliports
will be accepted as potential emergency landing sites
even if all heliports have been deselected in the AMEND
