I've got significant flight time as pilot in the USAF variants of the H-3, the CH-3E and the HH-3E "Jolly Green". This video severely overstates the "problems" of landing a helicopter on a grass field. The helicopter would be pretty useless if it could only land on reinforced concrete slabs. The presidential support mission is rather a "Gucci" operation: pretty clean, don't get dirty. The rest of military helo ops require routine landings in grass, dirt, mud, sand, snow, tundra, everything. I have literally thousands of landings on unprepared, untouched by human hands ground and never sank into the soil. Outflow from downwash, however, is a significant problem for surrounding structures and people. Our youngest helo pilots are taught early on to land with "sniper-like" precision within several feet tolerance... not an easy feat at first but something every pilot can do by the time they earn their wings. Twenty years of experience is not needed for this skill. We pick O-5s and O-6s for different reasons. The Flight Restricted Zone around D.C. and the Prohibited Airspace around the White House do not restrict the overflight or landing of Marine Corps One. That would be sort of like preventing firemen to enter a burning building. There was no point in citing that airspace as restrictive for MC-1 operations. Lastly, a major reason for delay in replacing the VH-3 is because President Obama slowed the procurement program in 2009 as a budget cutting act. At one point, he told the media "The helicopter I have now seems perfectly adequate to me."

@@rael5469 I've never connected Marine One with any sort of regurgitating felines... as you clearly stated, "That's just weird!!" Well stated. More to the point though, someone on the President's staff should have some influence on the access required by his ride. If the President signs a work order for an adequate concrete platform with matching "Astro-Turf" or an acceptable equal, it might take two weeks... OK, DC Paperwork... 6 months!!! It sounds like nobody wants to offend some paper-pusher with a bit of attitude. An effective Presidential attitude might be something along the lines of, "I'm only here for 4 years...OK, maybe 8. I'll just sign the damn thing and tell the grounds keeper to get it done. NEXT. 👍

I live in New Mexico where the annual Balloon Fiesta is held every October for the last 52 years. About 30 years ago they started launching the hot air balloons from a grassed field. Over 600 to 900 balloons would launch every day for a week. Officials installed a grass field much like you described that would support the weight of millions of people walking on the grass as well as the hundreds of trucks and trailers that must roll across the grass every day during the event. After all this time the grass has held up beautifully. Now this is real grass not artificial turf. Below the grass, is permeable blocks that support the grass as well as the thousands of pounds of almost 900 vehicles. There has been aircraft that has landed on that field. But unknown what they were and of course how much it weighs.

...Marine 1 DOES NOT LAND ON GRASS!! It lands on special pads that are spaced EXACTLY where each wheel is located. It is flown by aMarine Aviator who's rank is Col or 06. The Co Pilot is either another Col or LTC 05. The pads thatnit lands on are concrete 36" x 36" and are 36" thick with a 12" base of of stone and 6" of sand. If Marine 1 landed on the Grass it would sink in anywhere from 6 to 12" because the Sea King is just that heavy.

This sounds correct. Buried concrete is exactly what I'd expect if they want it to look normal. Then some sort of spiky product to move the weight from the tires to the concrete, with the grass growing through the gaps in the spiky product. Probably adjustable spikes with a grass strain that loves hard pack soil. That's how I'd roll if I were in charge. But it's hard to believe engines on top of an aircraft people can exit from with the engines running can burn the grass; and even if true they clearly know they simply need more engine bypass air. Sound more like a cover story for a secret wish list item of some sort.

I agree with you on the first half about the pilots but have to call BS on the second half about having concrete. There are plenty of photos (unclassified, all over the internet) where it clearly shows WH ground crew members rolling out large metal discs to layout where the Marine One's landing gear will touch down. Those metal plates are wide enough to hold up the heavy helicopters from sinking into the ground. If you have any doubts, take a look at these same helicopters landing in the snow; a simple snow shoe/ski will allow them to operate normally in an Arctic environment without sinking into the snow, which BTW is a lot less densely packed than grass lawn.

You expand the "web", lay it out across the soil, fill soil into the pocket cells, and then toss some grass seed on top of the whole thing. You could even start by first putting a layer of crushed peat stone underneath it.

A lot of misinformation in these comments. I'm speaking as a former HMX-1 Command Pilot. The aircraft do not land directly on the South Lawn grass. Before a landing, 3 red-painted plywood circles (called "the boards") are carefully placed at pre-surveyed spots for each of the helicopter's wheels. If you look carefully at the video, you'll see the boards. Less evident are the two sections of flat firehose that are placed in line with the aircraft commander's foward centerline and his right shoulder. These act as as guides to place the landing gear precisely on the center of the boards. The copilot also verbally guides the Command Pilot giving running directions as he's looking over his left shoulder regarding final approach to the touchdown such as, " Back 20, up 10, back 15, up 8, back 5, up 3, BRAKES!" At the "BRAKES" call, the aircraft is gently lowered onto the boards, and because of the VH-3s natural hover attitude, tailwheel first, left mainmount next and right mainmount last. I was there for the Regan/Bush administrations so I'm not sure how the procedures will be different for the new VH-92A.

Even with the additionally added surface area of the three aluminum plates you mentioned, that's still pretty hard for me to imagine. Aluminum could be bent even by hand, so how is it going to be strong and rigid enough to withstand 19,000 lbs worth of aircraft? Then there's the PSI's from the plates being transferred to the soil; for as small as those plates are and the weight of the aircraft, I don't think those plates would be large enough to reduce the PSI's to a reasonable threshold...especially with the newer M1 weighing at 28,000. If it were steel, reinforced concrete slabs or something else, that'd make more sense. One suggestion I would bring up to the WH is to instead of building out a whole circular helipad that would be an eye sore to look at, keep the idea of the plates but make them permanent. I'm no civil engineer or anything like that, but I reckon that they could drill out a huge 6-8 ft hole at each place that would have a plate, and essentially create a pillar of sorts, the same way that a pillar would be used to help support a structure, and the top end of that pillar would basically be the "plate" that M1 would land on. Cosmetically it'll just look like those 3 plates that were temporarily placed there are now installed there permanently, but other than that, nothing else would be out of the ordinary yet those 3 deep support pillars would allow even the new/future generations of M1 to land without affecting the surrounding soil/landscape.

It actually lands on three small concrete pads spaced out which is an ELITE status symbol for the SKILLED U.S MARINE PILOT..

Couldn't they make the pads a little larger to make it easier to land on?

Also a helicopter pad would just waste those well mowed grass

Why not put a helo pad on the roof seems like it would fix the problem plus would provide better security for the prsident

Th government does NOT need a bigger and heavier Marine One for any president. They mentioned it carried more people--for what? It needs to carry less people, especially if they are the press. Trim the budget, as fate will be what it's going to be.

They should create a helipad and put fake grass over it, so it blends in.

Have they looked into installing a helipad and just putting roll up turf over it?

Why can't they create an elevated helipad on the South Lawn tennis/ basketball court? Lights, weather sensors, all the bells and whistles. Use the South Lawn less? Or just for ceremonial events.

Why not put in a helicopter pad and cover it with artificial grass (that looks like the surrounding grass. Then you will have the best results

not sure if structurally feasible but why can't they reenforce a part of the White House itself to have a Helicopter land on the roof? with all the money spent on modifying Marine One and even Air Force One or the Beast think they could find the budget somewhere to do this.

What a load of crap, In Aerial construction they land on everything dirt, lose rock, grass, black top. This is a non event for an S-61. S-54 Sky crane or S-58... White House lawn is nothing. V-22 Tilt Rotor rotor wash is deadly - What a load this is
