Heliport Atlas

HeliportsinCharlotte

The FAA records 19 operational heliports and helipads within 25 miles of Charlotte. Not one of them is designated public use, so every arrival is by the owner's permission. A charter operator arranges that permission while planning the flight, which is why the owner contact on a record matters more than the pad does.

What is actually here

  • 11 Hospital / medical
  • 7 Corporate / private
  • 1 Airport-based

They sit across Charlotte (8), Concord (2), Gastonia (2), Ft Mill (1), Harrisburg (1), Huntersville (1), and other communities in the metro. The metro crosses a state line, so the list spans NC, SC.

Heliports only. Airports are a separate class of facility and are not counted here, and a charter into Charlotte may well work from one.

Distance is measured from the middle of Charlotte, so the top of this list is what sits closest to town. Pad size is the landing area, not the property. Open any record on the map for surface, lighting, elevation, inspection date, and the owner contact that gets you permission.

Common questions

How many heliports are in Charlotte?

The FAA records 19 operational heliports and helipads within 25 miles of Charlotte, counting across the state line where the metro does. Of those, 11 are hospital or medical pads and 7 are corporate or private sites.

Are there public-use heliports in Charlotte?

No. Every one of the 19 heliports in the Charlotte area is private use, which means landing starts with permission from the owner or manager. A charter operator arranges that as part of planning the flight. The public-use designation is rare everywhere: only 56 heliports carry it nationally.

Does this include Charlotte airports?

No. Airports are a separate class of facility, and a charter flight into Charlotte may well use one: helicopters operate from airport ramps and FBOs as a matter of routine. This list covers heliports and helipads, the sites the FAA registers specifically for helicopter operations.
