    Amsterdam Heliport - EHHA - Image 1

    Description

    The Amsterdam Heliport (Dutch: Amsterdam Helihaven) (ICAO: EHHA) is a small modern heliport located in the north west of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in a harbour area known as the Westpoort. It provides parking space outside for four helicopters and hangar space for another three. The heliport was opened in 2005, aiming mainly at VIP transport and airwork.

    (The above is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Heliport)

    In addition to that, it's the main fuel station for the Dutch Air Ambulance (Traumahelikopter) at this moment, and in the future will be the new base for the Dutch Air Ambulance (Traumahelikopter) moving from the UMC (https://zuidas.nl/en/blog/2021/12/24/air-ambulance-moves-to-amsterdam-heliport/)

    Goal of this scenery

    the Netherlands has pretty much no working heliports in MSFS 2020 by default and spawning your helicopter at a gate or the runway at EHAM (Schiphol) feels...weird. After flying over Amsterdam I discovered this AI generated non-functional non-usable heliport and decided to make it functional and actually usable as a heliport. You can now even spawn at it with your helicopter of choice!

    I also use this as a pet project to start and learn Blender to try and create fancy 3D models. And of course make mods for one of my favorite games! 

    Whats in the latest release:

    v0.3.0
    • Fixed ground height around FATO

    Note when upgrading from v0.1.0 the folder name changed since the ICAO was incorrect, delete the old folder. Futures releases will use the new folder name.

    For more (older) changelogs check the tab below.

    Todo:

    • Make a custom 3D terminal building based on the real-life version (See here)
    • Custom helipad reflecting the real life version
    • More custom textures
    • Add more fences

    Recommended addons:

    I'm sure a daredevil can fly a Airbus A320 right into this Heliport... but I do recommend you actually use a helicopter 😁 such as the wonderful Airbus h135 helicopter, see also the dependencies tab. When you download the H135 Helicopter I also really recommend the Dutch Air Ambulance livery from https://flightsim.to/file/9832/ph-umc-dutch-air-ambulance-mobiel-medisch-team-8k-h-135

    Credits

    A huge thanks to Donovan Verschuuren and Sam Monnier for letting me come over and show me around the heliport and make as much pictures as I wanted.

    I wonder if we might still get an updated version with the lifeliner station?

    thanks for your interest and request but as the new lifeliner station is not visible yet in Google maps and I live quite far away from Amsterdam (I used to work there in the past when I visited the last time) I don't expect to publish a update anytime soon.

    I also lack time unfortunately.

    The new lifeliner station is already visible on Google Earth Pro (the free app on windows). You have to toggle the history button and then go all the way to the latest data...

    Hello thanks for sharing! The correct ICAO code for this heliport is EHHA.

    Jup! Typo. Will fix this today. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!

    Another suggestion, I would tag this airport with "The Netherlands". It will help exposure to Dutch flight simmers.

    Thanks for the suggestion! The tags (visible at the top, i.e. #Real-Life) are quite limited in what can be chosen (dropdown in the system versus free text). I have however added it as a search keyword explicitly, that wasn't the case before :-)

    Make sure you select airport or helipad as "Category". If you do that, then you can select the relevant country as well.
