HeliPlates 2.0.0

Caltrans has introduced a valuable resource known as HeliPlates, which are informational dataplates designed to provide essential details regarding permitted approach paths for Hospital Heliports across California. This initiative aims to assist emergency planners, helicopter operators, and other stakeholders in effectively utilizing heliport resources.

The Caltrans HeliPlates app offers a comprehensive map of Hospital Heliports in California, allowing users to filter locations by Geographic Region or County. Users can easily select a specific HeliPlate for a Hospital Heliport via an interactive map or by searching for the Hospital Name directly. Each HeliPlate encompasses a range of pertinent information, including:

• Hospital Name
• Geographic "Nav" Coordinates of the Heliport
• Heliport Details and Dimensions
• Information regarding the Hospital Facility and FAA
• A Regional Map displaying the heliport's location
• An Aerial Photo illustrating the heliport along with Permitted Approach Paths

Additionally, it is worth noting that HeliPlates can be saved for offline access, enhancing their utility in urgent situations.
