Could someone who knows give those of us who don't an idea as to what puts more stress on an airframe/is possibly more risky, a full power go around from low level or a low level pass. Having read the previous replies I'm presuming the crews are trained to do both as it has been pointed out that crews would do a low pass if there was a question as to whether the gear was down and locked.
If there's nothing in it was the sentance proportionate? I remember listening to my airband radio (yes sad I know) when the last Dan Air 727 departed LGW a few years ago and the controller broadcasting that it was a nice flypast that they did. I don't recall any objections to that.
