ECONOMICS OF USE A helicopter must have a landing site. There are many options in finding or constructing such a location. The concept of the Portapad is that of a tool that has the versatility to go into an area at a known cost and for a known time-frame and come out of that area with a complete salvage of the initial investment. It does not require extensive training of personnel or maintenance. It does provide quick, safe and efficient landing sites in a variety of terrains under the toughest conditions. It can save lives and prevent costly accidents.
