In Figure 2.2.3.2a there is one access track and a small building associated with it which is common for non-commercial landing grounds
In Figure 2.2.3.2b the dark grey/blue signature of the Landing Ground is in strong contrast to the red signature of the surrounding vegetation.
Landing Grounds appear as relatively long, straight, paved or graded features.
They are not part of the road network and generally have only a few access points.
They are often noticeably wider than surrounding roads.
In some cases, especially commercial landing grounds, they have a smaller taxi strip running parallel.
A buffer of Vegetation is generally cleared along the edges of the Landing Ground to minimise risk to aeroplane safety.
Regional Considerations:
In rural and remote areas Landing Grounds can be more isolated from surrounding infrastructure and simplified to a single strip. Access points may not be visible on imagery.
Whereas in more populated areas Landing Grounds can be of a more complex nature often with more than one landing strip (i.e. cross strip) and maybe more difficult to differentiate from licensed facilities without Reference Material.
