Preparing the Landing Zone (LZ)

The following guidelines must be utilized to select, prepare, and secure a safe landing site for MEDFLIGHT:

SIZE	100 feet x 100 feet
SHAPE	Square, circular, or rectangular
SLOPE	Relatively flat (less than 10º slope)
SURFACE	The LZ should be free of debris, equipment, tarps, and unattended stretchers
SURROUNDINGS	Identify power lines, antennas, trees, signs, poles, or hazards within 500 yards
DAYTIME LZ	Mark the four corners of the site with highly visible objects
NIGHTTIME LZ	Use strobe kits or vehicle headlights to mark the LZ. Flashlights placed inside orange cones are highly visible markers.

* Avoid shining light directly at the aircraft as this may interfere with the pilot’s night vision.
