A
Heliport is a special kind of aerodrome exclusively for the use of helicopters. It is different from aeroway=aerodrome in that it does not serve fixed-wing aircraft and usually has no runways. A heliport will usually have one or more helipads (aeroway=helipad).
Heliport vs helipad
The term heliport typically refers to the whole facility including associated hangars, taxiways, terminals and windsocks. A helipad refers to the actual landing/takeoff area (which may be located on an aerodrome, heliport, or as a standalone facility).
Tagging
- Either create a closed way (or multipolygon relation for some complex shapes) around the extent of the airport land (often co-incident with a barrier of some kind).
- Or draw a node in the center of the airport and add aeroway=heliport + name=*
