South Peninsula Hospital Heliport

Common Complaints

• Dedicated Medical Transport: The heliport serves as a crucial point for medevac flights, facilitating patient transfers to and from South Peninsula Hospital.
• Continuous Attendance: The heliport is attended year-round, seven days a week, ensuring availability for medical operations.
• Adequate Helipad Facilities: Features a 46 x 46 ft (14 x 14 m) helipad (Helipad H1) with a mat surface, equipped with perimeter and flood lighting for operations.
• Fire Suppression Compliance: The helipad has fire pump and foam fire-suppression nozzle, meeting fire suppression requirements.

Limitations:

• Private Use Only: The heliport is designated for private use, primarily for hospital operations, and is not accessible to the general public for passenger travel.
• No Public Amenities: Lacks typical airport amenities such as terminal facilities, passenger waiting areas, customs, or immigration services.
• No Fueling On-site: Helicopters using the heliport typically refuel at the nearby Homer Airport (PAHO) as no fuel is available at 4AA4.
• No Instrument Procedures: Operations are limited to Visual Flight Rules (VFR) as there are no published instrument procedures.
• Obstruction: There is a 16 ft building located 32 ft northeast of the helipad.

Given its role as a private hospital heliport, South Peninsula Hospital Heliport (4AA4) functions effectively for its intended purpose of medical transport. However, it does not offer any services or facilities for public travelers, and therefore, conventional traveler sentiment and related experiences are not applicable or available.
