Heli VFR plans to start from helipads (no runway link)

When creating VFR flight plans for helicopters in Navigraph Charts, the software automatically links the helicopter parking/start position (H1) to the center of the runway — even when no runway is selected.

This behavior makes it impossible to start a helicopter flight directly from its stand or helipad.

:green_circle: Suggestion:

  • Allow helicopter VFR plans to start directly from a helipad without any automatic link to a runway.

  • Keep this logic specific to helicopters (airplane VFR plans can remain unchanged).

This small change would make VFR helicopter operations more realistic and improve workflow for users flying rotary-wing aircraft.
