Detailed explanation-1: -A heliport is a small airport suitable for use by helicopters and some other vertical lift aircraft. Designated heliports typically contain one or more touchdown and liftoff areas and may also have limited facilities such as fuel or hangars. In some larger towns and cities, customs facilities may also be available.
Detailed explanation-2: -Helicopters meet the PUC 21012 definition of aircraft, so heliports are just airports for helicopters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Helicopters are heavy users of airports, but are given more operational flexibility by air traffic controllers than fixed-wing aircraft. This means helicopter pilots need to have clear situational awareness in an airport environment to avoid compromising the safety of airplanes moving around taxiways and runways.
