CifpHeliportSid

Standard Instrument Departure (SID) procedure records for heliports, encoded per ARINC 424 section HD

Source: CIFPTable: CIFP_HELIPORT_SIDVersion: 239462ba9c35 (effective 2026-04-16)

This table follows the same structure as airport SID records but applies specifically to heliport facilities. Route types follow SID conventions. Only a small number of heliports and fixes are represented in this dataset.
