HLZ LANDING CRITERIA (FM 90-4)
1. Clear of debris / obstacles marked
2. Land heading into the wind
3. VS-17 Panels / bean bag lights
properly secured
4. Cleared diameter for UH-60 = 50m

6. Do not land on slope >16 degrees
*To determine ground slope use the
following math computation V x 57.3 H
“V” is found by subtracting lowest point
on HLZ from highest point
“H” is the entire length of the HLZ
