Landing Zone (L-Z) Information |
- Assign an LZ Officer for ground to air contact
- Determine frequency to be used and perform communication over mobile, not portable, radio
- Chose an area in close proximity to scene ensuring that it is flat, firm and free of obstacles
- If possible, obtain GPS coordinates; not required but helpful.
- Radio transmission to responding aircraft should describe type of surface landing on, any hazards or obstructions in the area, how the area is marked and what is the wind direction
- Clear the area (200’ by 200’) of all non-operational personnel
- Notify your communications when aircraft lands and departs
