Military helicopter pilots need to train on varied terrain, under diverse conditions, and at multiple altitudes. This includes austere (i.e., harsh, severe) environments such as mountainous terrain with its associated high wind, turbulence, and atmospheric instability. Pilots need to understand how differing conditions affect the flight performance and handling characteristics of helicopters. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide additional aviation landing zones (LZs) at PTA above 8,000 ft (2,438 m) for training use by military aviation units. The Proposed Action is to construct four aviation LZs for training within the boundaries of the Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) on the island of Hawai i. These LZs would be used in conjunction with regularly scheduled training exercises at PTA. The Hawai'i Army National Guard (HIARNG) and the U.S. Army Garrison, Hawai'i (USAG-HI) co- prepared an EA, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade and Army National Guard, Hawai'i, Aviation Landing Zones Environmental Assessment, to publicly disclose the results of an environmental impact analysis to construct aviation LZs for training use at the PTA. The action being proposed does not involve the acquisition of additional land, training outside of the current installation boundary, or live-fire exercises conducted outside of the approved/existing PTA impact area.
