    • (B) the heliport operator intends to submit to the Minister a request that a zoning regulation be made under the Aeronautics Act,

  • (ii) the heliport geometric centre,

  • (iii) the FATO coordinates,

  • (iv) the heliport elevation,

  • (v) the heliport magnetic variation, and

  • (vi) where installed, the electronic navigation aids; and

• (b) information in respect of

  • (i) the heliport type,

  • (ii) the dimensions, slope and surface type of all TLOFs,

  • (iii) the length, width, slope, category, surface type and designation number of all FATOs,

  • (iv) the length, width and surface type of all safety areas,

  • (v) the designation, width and surface type of helicopter ground and air taxiways,

  • (vi) the apron surface type and description of helicopter parking positions, and

  • (vii) the declared distances for

    • (B) rejected take-off distance available, and

    • (C) landing distance available.

(2) The operator of a heliport shall ensure that a heliport geometric centre is redetermined and recorded in the manual if the physical characteristics of the heliport change because

• (a) an existing FATO is closed;

• (b) the boundaries of an existing FATO are altered; or

• (c) a new FATO is constructed.

(3) The operator of a heliport shall report the heliport data specified in paragraph (1)(a) to the Aeronautical Information Services of NAV Canada within 14 days after the Minister’s approval of certification.
