i'm talking to a volunteer firefighter about various emergency issues. one he brought up that
i'd not thought about before is what they call landing zones.

in rural areas, these are predetermined locations for helicopters to set down to airlift out urgent medical cases. they are not generally "official helipads", just level grassy areas where they have arrangements with the landowner. generally they also have agreed upon names.

i'm thinking both areas and nodes, with tagging that looks something like this:

aeroway=helipad
name=Fred's LZ
access=no
emergency=yes
surface=grass

does this seem reasonable?

thanks,
   richard
