THE BOOKLET CONCLUDES THAT THE HELICOPTER CAN PLAY A USEFUL ROLE IN THE URBAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IF ITS OPERATING REQUIREMENTS ARE PROPERLY UNDERSTOOD AND REGULATED. APPENDED MATERIAL INCLUDES STANDARDS FOR ROOF-TOP HELICOPTER LANDING FACILITIES AND A LIST OF ZONING DISTRICTS OF SELECTED CITIES IN WHICH HELICOPTER LANDING FACILITIES ARE PERMITTED.
