Flying Low

Flying low refers to an aircraft flying close to the ground or over the surface, typically to avoid detection, reduce turbulence, or improve communication. This technique is often used by military planes, stunt pilots, or during specific surveillance missions. It requires precise control, as the closer proximity to obstacles increases risk. Pilots must balance maintaining a safe altitude with the purpose of flying low, which can involve navigating terrain features, avoiding obstacles, and responding quickly to changing conditions. Overall, it’s a specialized flying technique demanding skill, awareness, and safety measures.
