So please explain the technique Bertie - in a Gazelle. Lets say 100 knots downwind at 50' over a set of ploughed fields. W/V - say 270/20 heading on entry 090.
What are you doing at 50ft agl. Another reason for the 500ft rule perhaps.
Bertie you are my hero.
You might have missed Bertie's point - "military" Gazelle was specified. Military aircrew frequently fly at 50 feet AGL or to be more precise 50' above obstacles en-route when engaged on tactical operations or practising for such.
The 500' rule is not always mandatory, under certain circumstances.
You nominate hero's rather to soon methinks.
