Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / aviation | | English term or phrase: featureless terrain | Est-ce qu'on peut traduire "featureless terrain" par "terrain de fortune"?
Il s'agit d'une liste dans laquelle figurent les situations réclamant des dispositifs de sécurité particuliers lors de l'atterrissage. Pas plus de contexte, hélas.
Merci d'avance!

| Grading comment Dans ce contexte-ci, "sans repère" va le mieux, car il s'agit d'un "vrai" aéroport - un terrain où sous certaines conditions métérologiques, il faut allumer des lampes supplémentaires, car justement il manque d'autres repères.
Merci à vous tous!
