What are the ICAO requirements for building a helipad on a private property....ie,measurements and equipment.
It is to be located in IBIZA(SPAIN).....any help is deeply appreciated.

From the British Helicopter Advisory Board's (BHAB) website (www.bhab.org), see:
ICAO Annex 14 Volume II Heliports and the ICAO Heliport Manual.
(ICAO publications are available on application to Airplan Flight Equipment, 1a Ringway Trading Estate, Shadowmoss Road, Manchester M22 5LH - Telephone 0161 499 0023.)
If you're only interested in private ops I think I'm correct in saying there are no requirements for the pad itself outside of the usual common sense ones regarding suitability for the aircraft, eg: sloping ground, illumination for night ops, etc.
Hope this helps. Buzz me back if you need more.

Thanks for the info
Keep well

I guess you should check the requirements set by the Spanish Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) for the building of a private helipad at:

Looks like the documents are only available in spanish, though... :*
