Crestview Hills Lincoln Heights Highland Heights Cincinnati This project was undertaken to help the II Marine Expeditionary Force identify potential future high-altitude landing zones (LZs) for training flights. Training for landings at LZs in higher elevations is important. Real-world missions in places such as Afghanistan involve aviation operations in mountainous terrain. Helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft operating in helicopter mode (for landing) perform differently when the density of the air is thinner, as it is at higher elevations. East Coast MV-22s are based primarily at MCAS New River, NC, which is near sea-level. In order to deploy overseas with the skills and proficiency necessary to operate at higher elevations, the Marines need to have available to them LZs at higher elevations for training and practice prior to deploying.
