Frickman,
I think you and everybody else knows what I'm talking about with regard to beatups at low level.
I think we can say a beat up or a zoom climb is little different to a go around or runway inspection where usually you'd be flying slowly with gear and flap down! Son, please don't cover up by trying to tell me a beatup is like a normal procedure!
There is as you say a difference between flying responsibly and being negligent! That is all I am trying to get across here.
Your post "You haven't lived until you've done a beat-up at Belburn (to show the chopper pilots how it's done) strapped in a blue and white C210, nix pax... 2ft off the deck... full noise ...big smile." sounds very macho to me, much like being irresponsible!
That's what gets people killed!!
A PC9 is a high performance single compared with a 210, hence a 210 is high performance compared with a C152, all relative.
The aircraft we're talking about is the Cessna 210 which is a RELATIVELY high performance piston single and is why a lot of guys like to do beatup in it!
Have a read to some of these accidents from the ATSB:

I just wonder if those that are now dead because of their stupid acts are turning in their graves by what comes out on here. cjam, if you've been witness to an accident like you said, then you should know better!!
I need to say no more!!
