Terrain Masking
Terrain features such as mountains, hills, vegetation, and other natural or man-made
objects mask an aircraft from view and limit your aircraft detection and recognition
ranges. You can expect an enemy to plan his flight path to take advantage of terrain
masking to avoid visual observation. You should consider terrain masking when selecting
an observer position. Choose a position that has a clear line of sight along expected flight
paths (Figure 5).
