Buzz Circuit
Used to love the fighter buzz circuits in use in the 50s.
Procedure was to dive low and medium fast over the intended touch down point then pull up in a tight climbing turn with power back and RPM to max slowing to lower gear and flap in the turn at appropriate speeds and adjusting the manoeuvre and speed to be still turning over the end of the runway. One was able to readily keep the intended touch down point in easy view throughout.
After practice one could judge all of that accurately to roll out straight for a short flare to touch down.
It was a wartime procedure to get a fighter on the ground in the least time to reduce exposure to any enemy fighter attack.
Later Military adopted the entry to airfield traffic patterns via an Initial run at 1000 ft AGL down the active runway with breaks out of formations to result in a down wind spacing. This way all traffic becomes sorted for landing well away from the airfield.
Still used today for military.
