CifpHeliportWaypoint

Terminal waypoints associated with specific heliports, defining named fixes used in heliport instrument procedures (ARINC 424 Section HC)

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

This table contains waypoints scoped to a specific heliport identifier rather than the general terminal waypoint database. Analogous to airport terminal waypoints but for heliport operations. Latitude/longitude are encoded as hemisphere+degrees+minutes+seconds+tenths of seconds (e.g., N40514240 = N 40°51'42.40").
