Helipad and helipad illumination system The invention relates to a dynamic helipad illumination system (2) for dynamically illuminating a floor surface or supporting deck of helipad (1) at least partly in order to enable communication of information regarding one or more current local conditions of, at and/or near the helipad. The dynamic helipad illumination system comprises one or multiple illumination elements (3). The system is arranged to bring at least a part (2a) of said one or multiple illumination elements from a first illumination state, in which at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad is at least partly illuminated by at least a number of said at least part of the one or multiple illumination elements such that at least a part of the floor surface or support deck radiates a first visual appearance which may correspond to at least a first message to be communicated to a helicopter crew or a pilot, into a second illumination state, in which at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad is at least partly illuminated by at least a number of said at least part of the one or multiple illumination elements such that at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad radiates a second visual appearance which may correspond to at least a second message to be communicated to the helicopter crew or the pilot.
Dynamic helipad illumination system for dynamically illuminating a floor surface or supporting deck of a helipad at least partly in order to enable communication of information regarding one or more current local conditions of, at and/or near the helipad, the dynamic helipad illumination system comprising one or multiple illumination elements, wherein the dynamic helipad illumination system is arranged to bring at least a part of said one or multiple illumination elements from a first illumination state, in which at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad is at least partly illuminated by at least a number of said at least part of the one or multiple illumination elements such that at least a part of the floor surface or support deck radiates a first visual appearance which may correspond to at least a first message to be communicated to a helicopter crew or a pilot, into a second illumination state, in which at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad is at least partly illuminated by at least a number of said at least part of the one or multiple illumination elements such that at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad radiates a second visual appearance which may correspond to at least a second message to be communicated to the helicopter crew or the pilot, wherein said first visual appearance differs from said second visual appearance.
Off-shore helipad, comprising a supporting deck or floor surface for supporting a helicopter, wherein said supporting deck or floor surface is provided with a helipad illumination system for illuminating at least a part of said supporting deck or floor surface, characterized in that illumination system is a dynamic system for dynamically illuminating at least a part or parts of the helipad supporting deck or floor surface in order to enable communication of information regarding one or more current local conditions of, at and/or near the helipad, wherein the dynamic helipad illumination system comprises one or multiple illumination elements and the system is arranged to bring at least a part of said one or multiple illumination elements from a first illumination state, in which at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad is at least partly illuminated by at least a number of said at least part of the one or multiple illumination elements such that said at least part of the floor surface or support deck radiates a first visual appearance which may correspond to at least a first message to be communicated to a helicopter crew or a pilot, into a second illumination state, in which at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad is at least partly illuminated by at least a number of said at least part of the one or multiple illumination elements such that at least a part of the floor surface or support deck of the helipad radiates a second visual appearance which may correspond to at least a second message to be communicated to the helicopter crew or the pilot, wherein said first visual appearance differs from said second visual appearance.
