About

Presidential Landing Zone

The White House South Lawn Helipad is the designated landing area for Marine One, the helicopter transporting the President of the United States. Located on the South Lawn of the White House complex, it serves as a primary point of arrival and departure for the Commander-in-Chief.

While not a paved permanent structure in the traditional sense, the lawn is equipped with landing aids and communications gear deployed for operations. It is one of the most recognizable aviation sites in the world, symbolizing the mobility of the presidency.
