The old CAA Rule 5 has gone and the new SERA wording has changed it to the effect that intention to land is all that is required. No longer "when landing..." but "necessary for landing".

A low pass is quasi-obligatory at most alpine altisurfaces, and often as sensible a lowland pre-landing precaution as checking seat belts fastened.

Anyway, if the low pass reveals that someone has left a baby on the runway (to borrow Deakin's phrase), one shouldn't feel obliged to run one's bushwheels over it just to comply with someone else's interpretation of SERA.
