Newcastle's RVI hospital is undergoing extensive rebuilding. This has included the addition of a new rooftop helipad. In recent days I have observed various helicopters from local agencies apparently testing it.
I notice that the helipad has 6.4t written on it (see photos below). Is this figure the max weight limit for the structure? Does this suggest it has been underengineered and is not strong enough for use by S&R Sea Kings (which weigh between 6.4 empty and 9.5 max tonnes) ?
