LFA 1 is an area of intense helicopter activity for Joint Helicopter Command Units based at RAF Benson and RAF Odiham, together with the School of Army Aviation at Middle Wallop. This Area also contains the Salisbury Plain Defence Training Estate which is the UK's largest military training area. Most low flying traffic is therefore helicopters, usually operating with ground forces. This Area is also used by C-130 Hercules aircraft based at RAF Lyneham to conduct air-dropping and air-landing operations. In addition, the Area is also used by Test and Evaluation aircraft based at Boscombe Down.
