Develop Controls and C-141 48 170 Make Risk Decisions C-5 70 4. Implement Controls C-17 A 36 54 5. Supervise & Evaluate 7 meters Directional light V = Vertical Distance H = Horizontal Distance 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 = 50 m Cleared diameter for CH-47 = 80 m 5. Avoid landing down-slope 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 FIVE-POINT CONTINGENCY NBC-1 CHEM REPORT PLAN ( handbook) (FM 3 -3) 1.
