Abstract

Law enforcement officials and medical personnel are, with increasing regularity, becoming involved in accident or hostage situations requiring transport of individuals by air. At the present time there are few acceptable or portable means for identification and demarcation of appropriate landing areas for inbound emergency aircraft in unprepared areas. The following paper describes a low cost, portable, and light weight solution to the problem of how to effectively demarcate a temporary landing zone as well as any hazards for use to assist pilots landing in unprepared areas.
