An altiport is an aerodrome for small airplanes and helicopters, situated on or within mountainous terrain. The term is generally confined to describing small mountainous aerodromes in the French Alps.[1] Altiports are generally characterised by having a runway with a pronounced slope, which aids aircraft deceleration when landing and assists acceleration during takeoff. High altitude means less lift so that aircraft need higher speed at takeoff and landing.
