Naval outlying landing field

NOLFs were primarily built field carrier landing practice, and to also mitigate noise caused by louder aircraft from existing fields. Having no based units or aircraft, and minimal facilities, an outlying landing field is used as a low-traffic location for flight training, without the risks and distractions of other traffic at a naval air station or other airport. However, the construction of a NOLF imposed various environmental issues, including bird/animal strike hazards (BASH), which can stress the bird population in the area. The Navy used various techniques to mitigate BASH, such as managing these hazards through the usage of radar detection and habitat management. ==List of active OLFs==
