Turnbull, whilst I hear what you are saying I dont agree with graduated low flying. For instance, an Army recce pilot spends probably 90% of their tactical flying at or below tree top height or sand-dune height. This is dictated by the nature of their tasks.
Chinook pilots, by the nature of their tasking cant fly below 50' due to the presence of an underslung load (in most cases).
All this controversy over an accidental death where helicopter met horse. We have been low flying in the UK since the 1930's. Are we now going to change tactics by cancelling low flying training in favour of doing it on a big TV screen? I hope not because the aircrew going to the front line will be totally unprepared for the "real thing". Let sleeping dogs lie and stop all this nonsense about "time zones" for low flying. The current low flying system has worked for many many years, there is no need to change it because of some bleeding heart, gut reaction.
No disrespect to the grieving family intended.
