Smaller aircraft will park on a "tie-down" which usually has a set of three ropes for literally tying the aircraft down. Larger aircraft park at a "gate." The large paved area around the gates and tiedowns is called a "ramp" or "apron". Buildings in which aircraft are parked are called "hangars." Helicopters takeoff, land and park on "helipads." It is common practice for small and mid-sized airplanes to disembark their passengers on the apron and then be towed or taxi or to a tie-down or hangar.
