Which characteristic does NOT apply to Technical LZ/PZ reconnaissance?

In the context of Technical Landing Zone/Pickup Zone (LZ/PZ) reconnaissance, air superiority is the characteristic that does not apply. Technical LZ/PZ reconnaissance primarily focuses on factors that directly affect the ground environment where aircraft will operate. This includes assessing obstacles and hazards that might impede landing or takeoff, evaluating the ground slope to ensure aircraft can safely operate in that area, and examining surface conditions to determine if they are suitable for the intended operation.

Air superiority, on the other hand, refers to the dominance of one force over another in the airspace and is more related to combat operations and air-to-air engagements rather than the specific conditions on the ground needed for a successful landing or takeoff. Thus, while air superiority is crucial in broader aviation operations, it does not directly inform the reconnaissance of a Technical LZ/PZ.
