Rangers should determine the following information while reconnoitering and selecting a mountain site:
(1) The size, slope, amount of surface debris, and the area covered by shadows and obstacles in and around the site.
(2) The approximate direction, speed, and characteristics of the wind.
(3) The inbound route, if necessary. When the pilot cannot land due to a steep slope, the aircraft may terminate at a hover to off load troops and supplies.
(4) The departure route, which should orient into the wind and over the lowest obstacles.
