• An elisuperficie is a landing site, other than a heliport, for helicopters only; it counts as elevated when it sits on a structure 3 m or more above the ground. An idrosuperficie is a water site for seaplanes or helicopters with floats, and the regulation treats both as kinds of aviosuperficie, landing areas that are not airports.
• A permanent elisuperficie opens only after its manager files the documents with ENAC, including the landowner's consent and a noise assessment. Flying starts when ENAC publishes the site, within 30 days of a complete file. ENAC has moved the published list to the Avioportolano site.
• ENAC checks each site at least every three years and can suspend one whose real state differs from what the manager published.
• A helicopter may also use an occasional site: up to 100 movements a year, by day under visual flight rules, within 500 m of the notified coordinates. The pilot alone is responsible for choosing the area.
• Occasional sites need the owner's consent on private land, serve only flights that start and end in Italy with no stop abroad, and the take-off and landing may not overfly built-up areas or crowds.
• Before the flight, the pilot notifies the local ENAC office and the public security authority of the coordinates and the time window. Since 1 June 2025 these notices go only through ENAC's online portal, with SPID access.
• Commercial passenger flights may use occasional sites within these rules. A helicopter operator's own base must be a managed elisuperficie with a ground radio.
• Flying at these sites is visual and by day. Helicopters may fly at night only to a site with lighting and a visual approach guidance system.
• An elisuperficie in a town may be used only where emergency landing areas exist under the departure and approach paths, unless the helicopter flies in Performance Class 1.
