Workinghard,

You need to balance the benefit obtained from training with the risks involved:

Flying low over rural areas = high training benefit, moderate risk to aircrew, minimal risk to civilians on the ground (in an ejection)

Flying low over built-up areas = high training benefit, moderate risk to aircrew, substantial risk to civilians on ground (in an ejection), excessive disruption cause by noise, and a quick way to pi55-off joe public!

Basically, it ain't worth it!

Kind of obvious, I thought.
