==Description==
 +
Introduced in [[Pre-spacecraft era]], the Mast Mount is mounted on the top of the VTOL's rotors. A VTOL using a Mast Mount can use cover, and be able to see over the cover, while protecting itself from enemy fire. The Masts were not found on modern VTOLs due to the size of them becoming smaller than pre-spaceflight predecessors.

Introduced in the [[BattleTech Eras|Pre-Spaceflight Era]], the Mast Mount is mounted on the top of a VTOL's rotors.  A VTOL using a Mast Mount can use cover, and be able to see over the cover, while protecting itself from enemy fire. Mast Mounts were generally not found on modern VTOLs due the reduced size of them as compared to their pre-spaceflight predecessors.<ref name="TOp350">''Tactical Operations'', p. 350, "VTOL Mast Mount"</ref>

The Mast is considered one level higher than the craft its mounted on, its always mounted on the Rotor. This allows for VTOLs to use spotter aircraft while hovering behind buildings, hills and other obstructions.
  
== Rules ==
+
The Mast is designed to allow a VTOL to sensors and other non-weaponry type equipment (example; C3 Computer Systems, Active Probes, ECM Suite) to be mounted in them. Weapons, combative equipment including [[TAG]] & [[NARC]] can not be placed in the Mast itself.

The equipment placed in Mast Mount is considered to be are mounted in the Rotor itself verse in aircraft.  However, the Mast itself are not consider actual location. However, the destruction of the rotors will result in the destruction of the Mast Mount itself and all equipment placed in it.
