1. Peace River Hospital Landing zone review
April 2016

2. Why Now? Regulatory compliance and safety practices.
Peace River Hospital landing area - is considered built up.
STARS is continually reviewing and assessing all certified and registered heliports and pre-determined landing zones, this is part of our infrastructure quality assurance process
In the case of a pre-determined landing zone such as the area located at the Peace River Hospital, this process involves monitoring the surrounding area for development to ensure that approach and departure paths do not require flight over buildings or other structures, or require operations within a built-up area that may create a hazard to people or property on the ground.
