Many aircraft accident reports cite "buzzing" as a cause. It is a word often used, but I must confess I have trouble understanding what it actually means. What constitutes "buzzing?" Is it the newly minted pilot making a high speed pass over his girlfriend's rooftop and abruptly pulling up into an accelerated stall? Is it maneuvering at low altitude then colliding with an obstruction? Is it doing a high speed low pass down the runway and then losing control to wind shear or another meteorological event?
Is one airplane design more vulnerable to buzzing accidents than another?
Does anyone here personally know of someone killed while engaged in buzzing? What were the circumstances?
In short, I encourage comments that describe the typical circumstances, the classic and most common things that can lead an unwary pilot to kill himself while engaged in "buzzing."
