Guys
It would appear I have rattled a few cages. That was never the intent. Believe me I fully appreciate the pleasure of demonstrating a new a/c's ability. I do not wish to spoil your fun chaps. However my comment was only to highlight that we are there to MINIMIZE risk not increase it. For all of you out there telling me that flying down the runway at whatever height is fine because it's an airbus you should be ashamed. As a commercial pilot you are there to conduct the safest possible operation. If you wish to do some airshow work then please find an appropriate environment. If the aircraft concerned was going around, fine. If it was indulging in a low fly by I am inclined to ask if we have learned nothing from the countless accidents over the years.
Wodka, glad to have made you laugh.
Bobby guzzler, Never had white gloves. Your arrogance regarding the aircraft's fly by wire abilites is truly worrying. I do hope you are not a pilot.
I am amazed that my comment appears so controversial.
