You are the first responder at a car accident scene requiring air medical transport. When preparing the landing zone for the incoming helicopter, what is the most essential consideration for ensuring a safe landing?
Mark the landing zone with bright, reflective materials.
Establish direct radio communication with the helicopter crew.
Coordinate with local law enforcement to control traffic.
The primary concern when preparing a landing zone is ensuring it is clear of any obstructions. This includes removing debris, securing any loose objects, and determining a flat area that is free from power lines, trees, and other obstacles that may pose danger to the helicopter while landing. Ensuring a clear and large enough area minimizes the risk of accidents during the helicopter's approach and landing. While safety markings and communication are important, they do not directly impact the physical safety as obstructions do.
