LANDING SITE

(a)When selecting landing sites along a route to be operated, it is recommended to prioritise the different types of landing sites as follows:

(1)aerodromes with available runway lighting;

(2)aerodromes without available runway lighting;

(3)non-populated fields with short grass/vegetation or sandy areas.

(b)When assessing the suitability of a landing site which is not an aerodrome, it is recommended to consider the following landing site criteria:

(1)size and shape of the landing area:

(i)landing sites with a circular shape providing multiple approach paths depending on the wind; and

(ii)for other cases, landing sites with a minimum width of 45 m; and

(2)type of surface: the surface of the landing area should allow a safe forced landing to be conducted.
