LFA-43 was used when the ''Pillar of Autumn'' was shot down over [[Installation 04]]. It carried [[John-117]] and seven [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] down to the surface of the [[Halo Array|Installation]]. However, the air-brakes blew too early due to a malfunction and were sheared off. All of the Marines and the [[Unnamed Bumblebee Pilot|pilot]] were killed on impact due to massive blunt force trauma, but the Chief survived, due to the cushioning of his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR armor]] [[Hydrostatic Gel|gel layer]].{{Ref/Reuse|TF2}}

After the crash, the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] sent in a [[lance]] to investigate the crash site on a [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]] for any possible survivors. John-117 hid himself in the hills nearby and once the Spirit departed, he killed the entire strike team surrounding LFA-43. The Chief then moved on foot to search for other survivors.{{Ref/Level|CE|[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]}}{{Ref/Reuse|TF2}}
