Maintain low vertical speed when touching down; most crashes are due to hard landings. Up to 30 kph forward speed is manageable if descent is controlled. 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
