FM/BG-977.V1.01 - Considerations prior to landing
- Avoid landing on slopes unless necessary—face upslope if you must, and be prepared to hover instead of touching down.
- Choose level terrain with minimal obstructions.
- Approach using a wide, shallow path to maximize obstacle visibility.
- In tight LZs, rely on door gunners or troops on the ground for guidance.
- Maintain low vertical speed when touching down.
