landing fields
Where aircraft touch down
Landing fields are areas of level ground where aircraft can take off and land.
The term typically refers to simpler facilities than airports—often grass or dirt strips without paved runways or extensive infrastructure.
Early aviation relied on landing fields before modern airports developed: The pilot spotted a landing field and brought the plane down safely.
