Garland/DFW HeloPlex sits in Garland, Texas at 601 ft MSL. This is a heliport, so there are no runways listed. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations only if that matches your aircraft and the current local procedure.
The field has two helipads. The pads are offset from each other for obstacle avoidance. H1 uses 360 degrees for ingress and 180 degrees for egress. H2 uses 180 degrees for ingress and 360 degrees for egress. H2 is the west pad. It is marked 18 for southbound approach and northbound departure. Published remarks also call out lead-in lights for both approach and departure. Perimeter lights are low intensity from sunset to sunrise. Use the CTAF to increase intensity.
This is a busy urban heliport environment. The tower is 1.0 mile north. It sits at 1,249 ft MSL. There are 42-foot buildings in all directions. There is also an unmarked powerline to the south. Avoid early turns after departure. Prevailing winds are from the south. For clearance delivery, contact Lone Star Approach at 972-615-2799. No on-field FBOs are listed.
