It looked like a pretty rocky area to me- not exactly the place to land a
24-foot shuttlecraft loaded with medical supplies.

My guess is that the nearest clear landing spot would have required a long
overland trek to reach the landing party. This, of course, assumes that a
shuttlecraft cannot function like a helicopter.
