Guide to vertiport design

We have developed this guide to assist in the initial planning and design of vertiports intended for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capable aircraft.

The guide provides easy to understand explanations and examples to complement CASA’s advisory circular AC 139.V-01 Guidance for vertiport design.

Who the guide is for

We have designed this guide primarily for:

• people and organisations involved in the design, construction and operation of vertiports
• planning authorities
• aerodrome operators
• VTOL-capable aircraft operators and manufacturers.

Feedback

We encourage feedback, including whether the guide provides:

• information in simple, easy-to-read, and understandable language
• a logical structure and format to the information.

You can send your feedback using our contact us form.

Updates

As the industry evolves, new guidance will be produced, and current guidance will be updated.
