Thank You for the altimeter responses. So we will like the AAIB presume AH did follow procedure and reset the altimeter and do all the necessary fiddly bits which I take would allow for the different altitude at Shoreham than North Weald.
Just like to point out that AH does state that he did have emergency training on the Hunter, it is in his notes from his log book about what was covered.
Still can't locate information that BXFI undertook a flight test on Sunday 26th June 2011. No record of it flying as far as I can tell except for the completed flight test submitted to the CAA and mentioned in the report.
Can the experienced Hunter pilots on here confirm if you would notice the drop in thrust when flying this manoeuvre.
Also, re the height/altitude bit - why then does the AAIB switch between AGL and AMSL. Surely they should stick to AMSL for the entry height/altitude and is the pilots DA limits AMSL or AGL?
