Hi ATC's
Any of you guys working at airfields with medium size helicopters departing from a helipad, where the helipad is less than 760m to a runway where you depart light aircrafts?
If yes, do you provide a 2 min (or 3 min from intermediate) wake turbulence seperation to the light aircraft departing from the runway?
According to PANS OPS DOC 4444, 5.8.3.1, a 2 minute departure seperation need to be in place in case
"parallel runways separated by less than 760 m (2 500 ft)"
. So if you have a helipad closer than 760m, would you as ATC interpret the helipad as being the same definition as a runway, and make wake turbulence seperation to the light aircraft departing from the actual runway?
Thanks in advance for any inputs
