Add a unique, mission-critical structure to your FiveM server? AirOperation delivers a custom-built helicopter landing strip designed specifically for the Los Santos Police Department’s air support division. This MLO adds two strategically placed landing pads at Los Santos International Airport, creating a dedicated LSPD aviation hub that enhances realism, improves emergency response capabilities, and opens new roleplay opportunities for your law enforcement teams.

Why Your Server Needs Dedicated Air Support Facilities

Modern law enforcement relies heavily on aerial assets. Without proper infrastructure, helicopter units feel improvised and unrealistic. AirOperation solves this by providing:

• Professional Appearance: LSPD air units have a proper home base instead of parking randomly
• Tactical Advantage: Airport location enables rapid city-wide response
• Roleplay Depth: Air units can conduct pre-flight checks, refuel, and maintain aircraft
• Operational Realism: Separates air operations from ground patrol facilities

Key Features

Custom Landing Strip Design

Built from the ground up for police helicopter operations:

• Two Designated Landing Pads: Supports simultaneous dual-helicopter operations
• Clear Markings: FAA-style helipad markings with “H” symbols and lighting
• Safety Zones: Painted perimeter areas to prevent unauthorized vehicle access
• Wind Indicators: Visual cues for realistic approach procedures

Strategic Airport Location

Positioned at Los Santos International Airport for maximum operational effectiveness:

• Central Location: Equal response time to all city districts
• Airport Security: Restricted access keeps civilians away from active helipads
• Refueling Access: Near airport fuel depots for quick turnaround
• Maintenance Facilities: Proximity to airport hangars for repairs and inspections

Perfect Integration

Seamlessly blends with the Los Santos International Airport environment:

• Matches airport asphalt and line painting styles
• Uses vanilla GTA V textures for zero visual conflicts
• Respects existing airport traffic patterns and taxiways
• Doesn’t interfere with civilian aircraft spawns
