UH-60M/CH-47F: These two A/C have an additional system called the Land-Safe System. This
system assists the pilot in landing where the ground is difficult to see. When using this system the
pilot can simply hover above the landing site, arming the system. When the system is armed, the
helicopter uses fiber optics to gradually lower to the ground safely without the pilot having to see
the ground. This system is used for sand, snow, fog, rain, and any other limited visibility situations.
The minimum safe distance between all A/C will be no less than 100 Meters. It is recommended
that all sling load A/C have a 150 Meter separation.

DEFINITIONS
MEDEVAC (Medical Evacuation): is the process of moving any person who is wounded, injured,
or ill to and/or between medical treatment facilities while providing enroute medical care.
CASEVAC (Casualty Evacuation): nonmedical units use this to refer to the movement of
casualties aboard nonmedical vehicles or aircraft without enroute medical care.
WARNING: Casualties transported in this manner may not receive proper enroute medical care
or be transported to the appropriate MTF to address the patient’s medical condition. If the
casualty’s medical condition deteriorates during transport, or the casualty is not transported to
the appropriate MTF, an adverse impact on his prognosis and long-term disability or death may
result.
• Rotary Wing CASEVAC begins in earnest during the Korean conflict. Ratio of casualties to
deaths drop from 4.5 /100 in WWII to 2.5/ 100 in Korea. Aircraft used: OH 13 Sioux
• First Rotary Wing MEDEVAC used in Vietnam. Ratio of casualties to deaths drops to 1/100.

AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT
REFERENCES:
Pathfinder teams often find themselves forward of the main body in small
elements establishing assault zones in austere locations enabling the
movement of the main effort.
Army lift, utility, MEDEVAC and attack aviation assets are organic and
readily available to these teams. These assets afford Pathfinder team’s
utility, survivability and early warning capabilities without compromising
the speed and security of the team or compromising their location.
Properly managed airspace can/will allow Close Combat Attack AND
surface fires to engage targets AND facilitate MEDEVAC pick-up AND
enable air mobile insertions all safely/simultaneously.
128
Airspace Management ATSH-TPP-HQ 071-FRCCA004
• An operation with multiple supporting assets must be able to get all of the assets into the
fight when required.
• A properly trained Pathfinder should be capable of tracking and controlling complex
airspace in support of the ground unit’s mission.
• Think of your job as an orchestra conductor. Your job is not to replace the whole orchestra
with only one instrument at a time. Your job is to help them all work together,
simultaneously, and off of the same sheet of music.
AIRSPACE DECONFLICTION
• The Pathfinder Team Leader (TL) is responsible for the airspace plan and the safety of all
aircraft supporting the team’s operation.
• The Pathfinder TL delegates the execution of the airspace plan to the GTA.
• The GTA will execute the airspace plan on the radio with all supporting assets and will be
backed up by the INR.
The 4 types of airspace deconfliction
• Altitude
• Lateral
• Time
• Combination
ALTITUDE DECONFLICTION
• Altitude deconfliction is best used when aircraft can be divided (stacked) into separate
altitude blocks based on their use/purpose.
• This type of deconfliction is commonly used to safeguard fixed wing aircraft (i.e. CAS, ISR)
from surface to surface fires.
• Do not give aircraft a hard altitude (i.e. 1000’ MSL), give a block of altitude for them to
maneuver in.
• When using altitude deconfliction, a minimum vertical separation of 1000ft between
altitude blocks is required AT OR ABOVE 5000ft AGL
• Below 5000ft AGL a minimum vertical separation of 500ft is required when using altitude
deconfliction.
129
Airspace Management ATSH-TPP-HQ 071-FRCCA004
LATERAL DECONFLICTION
• Lateral deconfliction is used when aircraft need to occupy the same altitudes but require
separate safe areas for conducting their mission.
• This type of deconfliction is typically used when surface to surface fires and/or multiple
flights of rotary wing aircraft are in support of a single mission.
• Use easily identifiable visual features when able. Rivers, MSRs, ridge lines, airfields…
• Ensure a buffer is created between assets in order to allow freedom of maneuver without
compromising safety of flight.
• Grid lines can be used but should only be a last resort. This method requires the pilot to
place waypoints in his GPS and constantly compare his position inside the cockpit instead of
tracking friendlies, targets and hazards on the ground.
• When using lateral deconfliction with rotary wing assets be prepared to request:
• N, E, S, or W turn-outs based on land heading
• A buffer from the deconfliction measure
• Confirmation that the aircrew sees the deconfliction measure being used.
TIME DECONFLICTION
• Time deconfliction is used when aircraft and/or fires must pass through the same airspace
in order to engage targets, pick up patients, and deliver troops.
• This type of deconfliction is typically used when medevac, utility, cargo or attack assets are
forced to cross an active gun-to-target line.
• When using time deconfliction a plan will be briefed to all affected parties prior to use.
Example: Pathfinder: “FDC, I request suppression for 2 minutes to cover our movement onto
the HLZ.
Example: TTT 3min 30sec, ready, ready, hack.In this case the time hack is used to start all
players’ count down timer to the specified target time.
130
Airspace Management ATSH-TPP-HQ 071-FRCCA004
COMBINATION DECONFLICTION
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
• Tactical situations are constantly changing, re-evaluate your situation often to see if your
airspace management plan needs to change with it.
• Safeguard your UH/CH aircraft by exposing them to enemy fire as little as possible.
• Munitions fired/delivered from an aircraft must not pass through another user’s airspace.
• Pathfinders are not expected to be JTACs/JFOs but should be capable of using all forms of
rotary wing assets.
• Target standoff AND weapon system effective ranges must be accounted for when deciding
where to hold aircraft.
• To get fires planning information contact your CO/BN subject matter expert. Use your FSO,
FSNCO and JTAC to build your plan.
When in doubt ASK!
Continuous understanding and battle tracking of rotary wing assets in support of your mission
and under your control is of extreme importance.
This simple tool can be used as an aid to plan and track aircraft in support of your mission.

BREVITY
•
• PTT stands for push-to-talk, not push-to-think!
• In congested airspace keep radio traffic short and concise. This allows for multiple assets to
pass traffic when necessary.
• Never say “cleared” on the radio.
o cleared denotes approval to drop munitions
o Use “approved” instead.
• Never say “repeat” on the radio.
o repeat is a one word command to re-fire the last mission shot by mortars/artillery
o use “say again” instead

PI SHIFT
To calculate how far forward you need to shift your point of impact in order keep your approach
panel or panels out of your masking ratio, we can utilize the law of sine. You must know the type
of aircraft and drop speed. You are first going to solve for D=KAV and then figure out which way
you will pace off your drift. Always remember that you subtract your buffer from your masking
ratio and account for the forward throw and the distance between your corner panel and your
farthest approach panel.
THE 7 STEPS TO PI SHIFT
1. Create a Modified Crows Foot and Determine Drift Utilizing D=KxAxV
2. Determine the Inside Angle (Use the bow tie method)
3. Sin(Inside Angle) x Drift (Normal rules of rounding)
4. Masking Ratio – Buffer
5. Step 3 +/- Step 4
6. +/- Forward Throw
7. +/- Approach Panel (drop the negative)
1. A MH-53 is dropping 20 jumpers on a GMRS DZ. The drop heading is 265 degrees
with a MEW of 7kts @ 310 degrees. The trees on the lead edge are 12 meters tall.
How far forward would you move the PI forward to not need a far marker?
175°- 130°= 045°
D= 315m
- 265° - sinA x Drift =
2. A UH-60L is dropping 4 DB at night on a GMRS DZ. The drop heading is 030 degrees
with a MEW of 8kts @ 255 degrees. The trees on the lead edge are 10 meters tall. How
far forward would you move the PI forward to not need a far marker?
D= 60m
- 030° -075° sinA x Drift =

DZ Surveying
Field Guide
Disclaimer: This guide is intended to be used as a supplement to AFI 13-217, not to be used
in lieu of AFI 13-217. All material in this guide is based off of AFI 13-217 and the Survey
and Assault Zone Assessment Student Guide.

INTRODUCTION
The DZ Surveying Field Guide compliments, enhances, and clarifies Drop Zone (DZ) criteria
contained in AFI 13-217, Drop Zone and Landing Zone Operations. In recent years, there has
been a sharp increase in DZ surveys submitted to Air Mobility Command (AMC) Regional
Tactics Offices and/or HQ AMC/A3DT for inclusion on the Zone Availability Report (ZAR)
that contain significant safety errors. This guide is to be used in conjunction with AFI 13-217
to ensure “quality products” are being produced by all parties involved in the DZ survey
process. Another goal of this guide is to standardize the data contained on surveys being
submitted to AMC.
If you’re reading this, you’ve been tasked to either create a new DZ from scratch or have
lucked out and just have to resurvey an old one. A prerequisite for any survey is that the
individual conducting it must be proficient using a map, compass, Global Positioning System
(GPS), and a bit of trigonometry. During your first survey, you will become knowledgeable of
DZ criteria. Attendance at the Survey and Assault Zone Assessment Course on (Pope ARB) is
highly encouraged, but not required to perform a DZ survey. Paragraph 2.23.1 in AFI 13-217
spells out who is authorized to perform a DZ survey.
There are two different ways to approach a DZ survey – with a specifically designed
mission/operation in mind or to create a training DZ on real estate your unit owns and/or may
have access rights to. If the former is your goal, you will need to perform coordination with
flying personnel assigned to a unit that operates the type of aircraft you expect to use. This is
necessary to gain relevant information you’ll plug into AFI 13-217’s DZ dimension tables. If
making a generic one, your job is to make it as big as possible to ensure the greatest flexibility
in potential operations.
271
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
Here are some issues to take into account when generating a DZ survey.
1. The DZ survey submission process begins with the surveyor. The surveyor is
responsible for completing the AF IMT 3823 (DZ Survey Form) and for initiating the
approval process.
3. If the originating unit is the only unit that will use the DZ and it will not be used by
Air Force assets in support of non-Air Force units, the survey can be maintained at the
unit level and the original kept on file by the Chief of Tactics. These so called “Local
DZ's” are not required to be submitted to AMC for inclusion on the ZAR.
4. According to AMC OPORD 17-76, any DZ survey that is going to be used for a
Joint Airdrop/Air Transportability Training (JA/ATT) mission, must be submitted to
AMC for inclusion on the Worldwide ZAR and cannot be used until it is on the web
site.
5. A DZ survey must be submitted to AMC anytime Air Force assets are used to
perform air drop missions in support of non-Air Force units.
The four steps involved in properly completing and submitting a DZ survey are Information
Gathering, Preparation, Site Visit, and Survey Production. The following section will describe
the requirements for completing each step of the survey process.
I. INFORMATION GATHERING
Obtain as much information as possible about the site prior to the visit.
272
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
copy of the DZ survey; contacting the closest regional tactics office may also be
helpful.
3. Determine the time frame and the total ground time required to conduct the survey.
Total ground time may be limited by the modes of travel in the area and the location
of the site from arrival location, billets, or port of entry.
5. Determine the personnel and equipment required to conduct the survey are available
and in working condition. The minimum equipment list includes:
Maps and charts (small detail) 1:24,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000
Imagery of the DZ area (military sources or commercial)
Regulations/Manuals (ex. AFI 13-217, this booklet)
Measuring tape/wheel or laser range finder
Compass (with +/- 0.5 degree accuracy)
Military Grid Plotter (GTA 5-2-12 or other military protractor)
GPS (go for the most accurate you can afford)
Calculator (must have trigonometric functions)
Camera (digital preferred with expanded memory)
Survey forms and worksheets
Laptop computer (with IMT Viewer, as well as AutoCAD and/or Portable
Flight
Planning System [PFPS] preferred)
Sketch pad with pens and pencils
Cellular telephone with pertinent numbers preloaded
6. Coordinate any special permission required to access the site area (i.e. range
control communications procedures, passwords, passports, keys, passes, etc.).
273
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
II. PREPARATION
1. Familiarize yourself with information of the area and the criteria for the type of DZ you
are building (circular or rectangular shape, minimum length/width).
Hint: If you’ve not already determined exactly where the DZ will be
located, use charts, maps, and/or imagery of the general area to
narrow down the location. Also recommend using FalconView and/or
Google Earth if current maps or charts cannot be located.
2. Plot a draft DZ on your map that at least meets your minimum required size; that said,
it is always better to go larger if conditions permit to ensure the widest range of options for
DZ usage. This will serve as the starting point for your survey. Do not limit yourself to
open areas designated by “white space” on the map as it may not accurately reflect what’s
there. Using recent imagery will minimize major changes later on. Take the following into
account:
a) As points are selected, determine MGRS coordinates for each to aid
with identification in the field (make sure you know which datum
you’re using).
b) Decide whether the DZ will be a circular or rectangular. Circular DZs provide
the most flexibility in mission planning while rectangular ones minimize
confusion.
Note: DO NOT put both Circular and Rectangular
Surveys on the same form. Separate them into two different
surveys.
c) Use the desired approach axis to orient the DZ if it will be a rectangle. If no
route dictates the axis, take into account possible airspace boundary issues such
as international borders and special use airspace. To determine if these are a
factor for you, contact the military airspace manager closest to the DZ for
assistance.
Note: If a rectangular DZ can be accessed from
multiple directions, break it into two different
surveys.
d) Determine the length and width that meet your minimum requirements.
e) Select a DZ center point. This is the absolute center with regards to both width
and length. It is determined by taking the midpoint between opposite ends of
the DZ (LLE-RTL or RLE-LTE).
f) Assign one or more PIs as needed. Consider using just one Point of Impact (PI) at
550 yards for all three types of drops if DZ size isn’t an issue. This PI
distance allows any aircraft to drop CDS, personnel, or heavy equipment.
Note: This technique minimizes confusion by ensuring the Point of
Origin (PO) directions in Section 9.G. take the Drop Zone Controller
(DZC) to the correct point and the crew uses the correct PI for their
calculations.
Note: Minimum distances for PI placement can be found in
Table 2.2 of AFI 13-217.
274
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
2) On Water DZs within sight of a land mass, pick the closest definable point
for the PO, but take bearings to several identifiable points if available for the
DZC’s use in determining the PI’s location by triangulation. This information
will be placed in Block 11. The various points should also be visible on the
Block 10 diagram.
4. Develop a site visit plan incorporating the best sequence for obtaining the data you
need. No technique is wrong if it allows you to accurately assess the utility of the DZ
and lets you leave with all of the information required to finish the survey. The amount
of time you set aside for conducting the site visit will vary based on weather, time of
day, time of year, area security, on-hand equipment, terrain, type, and size of drop zone.
4. Perform one last operations check of your equipment. Make sure you have extra
batteries, authorized frequencies, etc. before you leave to perform the survey.
Reconfirm your GPS is using the same datum as the map the DZC will use while
controlling air drop operations.
a) Contact the DZC to confirm the datum plane desired if no tactical chart is
available. If no preference is stated, WGS-84 is the default datum.
Note: Most of North America has only been surveyed in North
American Datum 1927 (NAD-27).
2. As each relevant point of the DZ is identified, validate Military Grid Reference System
(MGRS) and Lat/Long coordinates. Double-check that the GPS is set to the correct datum
plane.
a) Evaluate the point of origin for ease of identification. If you can’t find it, the DZC
probably won’t be able to either.
b) Make note of the GPS elevation for each point as a backup to the map elevation.
275
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
3. Should you find that the draft DZ is not feasible, you have to recalculate and confirm
the coordinates of the center point and the PIs. New directions from the PO to the PI
will be needed as well.

ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
The intent of AFI 13-217 is to have four separate individuals sign the survey form. The
person that performed the survey cannot sign-off on either the ground operations approval
and/or the safety-of-flight review. Each approval block must have a different signature. If this
requirement cannot be met for a unique reason, contact the closest regional tactics office or the
ZAR Program Manager for assistance.
277
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
The purpose of the ground operations approval is to ensure the DZ survey form is complete,
accurate, and the DZ meets the criteria for planned ground operations. This person will also
ensure all DZ ground support requirements, hazards and/or obstacles have been accurately
annotated in the Remarks section. This task is normally performed by the surveyor’s
commander or their designated representative.
Use the Full Name, Rank (civilian or military designation), and Branch of Service of
the individual who performed the Ground Operations Review.
Example: James J. Doe, GS-9, DAFC
Note: While not required by AFI 13-217, consider having the
survey reviewed by a knowledgeable Range Control representative,
as applicable, prior to submittal to the ground operations approval
authority. The Range Control representative does not sign the form.
278
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
279
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
The MAJCOM Approval Authority is to verify the authorization of the Surveyor and Ground
Operations Reviewer, confirm safety-of-flight review was accomplished, and validate the DZ
is safe for air and ground operations. Once this block is signed, the DZ is ready for use. The
signed document is returned to Group Tactics for delivery to HQ AMC/A5QM for inclusion
on the ZAR web site.
Enter the Full Name, Rank (civilian or military designation), and Branch of Service
of the individual who is the MAJCOM Approval Authority.
Designated Reviewer(s):
a. A letter should be kept on file with the local Chief of Tactics
identifying individuals within the squadron who are authorized to conduct
safety-of- flight reviews, and MAJCOM approvals (only if the OG is not
available).
NOTE: The OG should specify a “designated
representative” to approve DZs on their behalf during
extended periods of absence (i.e. AEF deployments,
personal leave, PME, etc.)
b. Good choices for consideration of performing MAJCOM approval include
Deputy OG/CCs and airdrop qualified squadron commanders.

If a DSN number is not available, type “(C)” for commercial prior to the phone
number.
While AFI 13-217 states Block 6 dimensions can be listed in either meters or yards, put both as
stated by the title to this section. For circular DZs, mark all blocks except 6.C. with N/A.
Block 6A. LENGTH: Before listing the length of the DZ, you need to confirm the DZ is
actually a rectangle by measuring and comparing the DZ’s diagonal distances.
1) Determine the differences between the eastings and northings of the opposite
corners (Left Leading Edge vs. Right Trailing Edge, and Right Leading Edge vs.
Left Trailing Edge) by subtracting the higher values from the lower ones.
2) Square the differences for each diagonal and then add them together.
3) Determine the square root of the sum from step 2. This number is the diagonal
length in meters.
4) Compare the two numbers for the diagonal lengths and consider them to be
identical if the difference between them is less than 15 meters.
2) Determine the differences between the eastings and northings of the ends (Left
Leading Edge vs. Left Trailing Edge, or Right Leading Edge vs. Right Trailing
Edge) by subtracting the higher values from the lower ones.
3) Square the differences and then add them together. (Example: 400 meters of
easting difference and 300 meters of northing difference – (400 x 400) + (300 x
300) = 16,000 + 9,000 = 25,000.)
4) Determine the square root of the sum from step 3. (Example: The square root of
25,000 is 500.) This number is DZ length in meters.
282
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
1) Look at the DZ sketch north up on your map and make an estimate of the
anticipated result. The grid axis will be within 2 degrees of the true axis you
measured during your survey.
283
ǦǦ 071-FRCCB002
2) Draw a right triangle (one with a 090° angle) on the bottom of DZ with two of its
corners being the leading and trailing edge. The following drawing is an
approximate example of what it would look like for a DZ with a run-in heading of
about 070°.

Opposite
4) Using your calculator, divide O by A and hit the “equals button”. Then hit the “INV”
button followed by the “TAN” button. With the resulting number, to get the grid axis:
Anticipated Axis Action
000.1 o to 090 o Subtract from 090 o
090.1 o to 180 o Subtract from 180 o
180.1 o to 270 o Add to 180 o
270.1 o to 360 o Add to 270 o

SPHEROID
Enter the spheroid used in computing coordinates for the DZ. Use either the
ellipsoid listed in the map legend of the topographical chart, or the GPS ellipsoid
(use WGS-84 to the maximum extent possible).
Note: Most of North America has only been surveyed in the
Clarke 1866 spheroid.
285

SECTION 12:
LOW-LEVEL ROUTES:
Indicate in the appropriate section whether a low-level route is associated with the DZ.
Individual completing the safety-of-flight review should know this information and will
mark accordingly. To confirm the presence of routes, contact the nearest/appropriate
DoD flying unit that performs low-level flights, and perform a review of the AP/1B.

data on Tab 1 is required by PFPS to calculate the DZ boundaries, PIs, and Coordinates.
This data is taken off of the completed DZ survey form. Entering the data on Tabs 2 and
3 is optional.
Figure1. Rectangular
Figure 2. Circular

2. In CFPS, you manually plot the DZ using the MGRS coordinates taken from the
actual survey.
a. NOTE: If the MGRS Coordinates column is not visible when you open CFPS,
click on View – Show Columns…, select MGRS/UTM, and click on OK.
3. Plotting Rectangular DZs
a. In CFPS, enter the DZ Boundary MGRS Coordinates in this order. Left Leading
Edge, Left Trailing Edge, Right Trailing Edge, Right Leading Edge and Left
Leading Edge (to close the box).
b. Enter the MGRS Coordinates for the PIs beginning with the PI closest to
the leading edge and work your way out. (i.e. 275 yards, 350 yards, 550 yards,
DZ Centerpoint, etc.).
c. If the DZ Boundaries, PIs, and DZ Centerpoint match what PFPS
calculated, GREAT! If not, time to troubleshoot and make the appropriate
adjustments.
d. Verify Magnetic Course Heading (MAGVAR)
=
• Note: PFPS will always have the most current MAGVAR data. This
data is updated by DAFIF.
