When selecting a landing zone for a rotorcraft, which of the following is the most important?
  1. Ensuring that there are no people around due to the risk of damaging their hearing
  2. Confirming that the ground is made of hard, compressed dirt that will prevent flying debris
  3. Ensuring that the zone is clear of aerial hazards such as power lines, power poles, and that anything in the area is clearly visible to the flight crew
  4. In night operations, make sure that all responders are pointing laser pointers in the direction of the aircraft
Explanation
Answer: C - When directing an incoming rotorcraft, it is imperative that all aerial hazards are clearly marked and you should confirm with the incoming aircraft that they are aware of them. The EMR should become familiar with local protocol of their air assets as many now utilize night optical devices, which may require alternate lighting at the landing zone.
