It is human nature to want to demonstrate the exceptional performance bestowed upon us by the designer...........
However, It must be done in a responsible and appropriate manner. We have many totally uncontrolled strips and fields in the UK and local rules, arrangements etc are usually abided with. If someone oversteps the mark, usually one or more of the strip users will have a quiet word. I have done plenty of fast low passes in our RV7, however it has been done as a missed approach with the appropriate calls being made, an approach to say 50' followed by a short portion level and then climb away. It is controlled and IMHO responsible where appropriate. I have been asked by a local controlled airport to 'show us your new aeroplane' and did similar. Let me offer a real teaser......... You are at your local field and hear the sound of a Merlin, the rise of an aeroplane noise and step out to see a Mustang whip down the strip at 50' and a couple hundred knots. Where does he stand in the argument ? If inappropriate behaviour is being exercised, tackle the person involved and change his ways. If what is being done is an expression of the joy and passion shared by many of us, revel in it and enjoy. |
Part 91.303 Aerobatic flight....
Quote:
"For the purposes of this section, aerobatic flight means an intentional maneuver involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's attitude, an abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration, not necessary for normal flight." This is the wording. Interpret it as you will. But remember, it's FAA's interpretation that matters. |

Maybe this is why I like RV's
