What is the last step in HLZ setup?

• A. mark and clear TDPs
• B. establish control facilities
• C. determine length and width of LZPZ
• D. 4Rs for obstacles

Answer: (A)

Marking and clearing the touchdown point(s) is the final action because it translates all prior planning into a concrete, safe landing target. After you’ve sized the LZ, established control, and identified and mitigated hazards, you finalize by marking the exact touchdown points and ensuring the area at those points is clear. This gives the aircraft a precise, hazard-free reference for touch down and lets ground personnel guide safely during the actual landing, making the HLZ ready for operation.
