Title: Helicopter Landing Zones
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: vector digital data
Description:
Abstract: The purpose was to map high probability areas where a medical helicopter might be needed. Each pre-determined location includes site specific information such as surface material, hazards, slope, GPS coordinates, and size. This is the information that needs to be relayed to the pilot before landing a helicopter. Maps with this info were made to go in ranger "Fire Map Books" so when there is an incident when a helicopter is needed the rangers already have the information handy. These maps were also given to a few of the medical helicopter companies in the area for their records.
Purpose: Maps locations of high probability where a medical helicopter might be needed or could land if needed.

Attribute Value Accuracy: Field checked
Attribute:
Attribute Label: ObstHtFt
Attribute Definition: Height of any obstacles near the landing zone of which the pilot should be aware.

Attribute Value Accuracy Information:
Attribute Value Accuracy: Field checked
Attribute:
Attribute Label: PercSlope
Attribute Definition: The percentage of ground slope in the landing zone. How much the ground slopes and how flat the area is.
Attribute Definition Source: GIS
Attribute Value Accuracy Information:
Attribute Value Accuracy: Feet
Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation: 1:6000
Attribute:
Attribute Label: SiteDim
Attribute Definition: How large the landing area is in feet. Dimensions could be used to delineate a polygon.
Attribute Definition Source: GIS
Attribute Value Accuracy Information:
Attribute Value Accuracy: Feet
Attribute Value Accuracy Explanation: 1:6000
Attribute:
Attribute Label: GPSHeight
Attribute Definition: The GPS recorded mean sea level (MSL) of the landing location. A helicopter pilot must know this value in order to land safely. If the pilot is aware of the terrain altitude, the pilot may then determine the difference between the altimeter indicated altitude and the mean sea level altitude and know how many more feet he must descend before the skids touch ground.

Attribute:
Attribute Label: LongWGS84
Attribute Definition: The angular distance, usually expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of the location of a point on the earth's surface east or west of an arbitrarily defined meridian (usually the Greenwich prime meridian). All lines of longitude are great circles that intersect the equator and pass through the North and South Poles.
