For a Fuel/Crew change with active runway 23, landing occurs on which spot?

• A. Spot 4
• B. Spot 2
• C. Spot 1
• D. Spot 3

Answer: (A)

When a specific runway end is active, the landing spots are arranged to align with that end for a safe, direct approach and efficient ground handling. For runway 23, Spot four sits on the approach path that corresponds to that end, placing the helicopter in the optimal position for a fuel/crew change. This spot minimizes the need for additional maneuvering and keeps rotor wash and ground traffic clear of the active runway and fueling area. The other spots would require turns or offsets that conflict with the active runway flow or safety zones, so they aren’t used in this scenario.
