How it's used
Refers specifically to the paved area where aircraft are parked, loaded, or refueled, distinct from the runway where takeoff and landing occur. It is a technical term primarily used in aviation contexts or when discussing airport logistics. While it can technically accommodate helicopters, helipads are usually referred to as 直升機坪.
